Russian Made Easy Level 1: An Easy Step-By-Step Approach To Learn Russian for Beginners (Textbook + Workbook Included)

I am an absolute beginner in the study of the Russian language, and I absolutely love Lingo Mastery’s “Russian Made Easy Level 1.” I have been learning the Russian alphabet from Lingo Mastery’s “Russian Alphabet Made Easy,” and this book is an excellent follow-on. Before continuing with another Lingo Mastery book for the Russian language, I did preview other language books, but I found that although they claimed to be beginning Russian language books, they were more conducive to students who already had some Russian language experience. I even tried a language app, but I found the app disappointing, because I was not retaining what I learned. Given my success in learning the Russian alphabet through Lingo Mastery and after previewing “Russian Made Easy Level 1,” I decided to try the book.I am extremely pleased with my choice. While Russian is not an easy language to learn, and one must work hard to learn it, I do not feel overwhelmed by this book. I genuinely enjoy studying a language at my own pace. The book offers vocabulary words with translations that are practical in everyday conversation, and the words are grouped in specific topics, such as family, daily activities, traveling, describing things, and buying things. I think the vocabulary topics are excellent, and the lists are useful for making vocabulary cards. The book introduces some very basic grammar and provides written exercises to practice what you have learned. I especially like the written exercises, because I have been studying the Russian alphabet and like the opportunities to apply what I have learned. The book provides a link to audio files that are easily accessible. If you want to learn Russian but are hesitant, I highly recommend the books from Lingo Mastery!

This book is great, this is my 4th language I’m learning, and so far so good. However this does not contain the alphabet or explanation of the alphabet as well as no romanization so if you don’t know how to read Russian, or the alphabet then don’t buy this book yet. I learned the alphabet and numbers in a few days, however the audios are helpful but it’s important for you to know on your own how to pronounce and read. I love the book tho, I’m able to most words of the songs I listen to.

Whether new to your Russian language journey or dropping back in for a little review, LingoMastery has you covered. As I get further from my 3 yrs in Ukraine and 1 yr in Russia, I find a review is necessary to sharpen things up. I was lucky enough to get an advance peek and loved it so much I bought a copy to have in my hot little hands. Here is everything you need for a great foundation in the Russian language. With crucial conversation, the necessary grammar (w/out being overwhelming) and audio access to boot, you will master a mountain of key vocabulary when you complete this material. Russian Made Easy Level 1 is a great addition to available resources and, in my opinion, stands out in the crowd!

I purchased this item thinking it was supposed to come with a textbook and a workbook.. we only received a workbook. Was just wondering what everyone else's orders included?

Great book for beginners (though you must know how to read Russian).

Excellent book. Just what I wanted and needed

It says audio included on the book. There are no QR codes or links to any direct lesson. One must follow a written URL only to find out that they need to sign up for a service in order to get the audio package. Website has not been updated since 2021-This product is now useless to me

Maybe this is an unfair review, and I wish I didn't have to give stars! But it's listed as "#1 for Children's Russian Language," and there's a cartoon on the cover, and there's really no other options, so I was hoping this would work for my young sons who speak a tiny bit of Russian but not really.However, this is a very intense book that assumes the reader knows Cyrillic and what the "nominative case" is. Example words are things that would be useful to a tourist or a business person. I think it would be a demanding but rewarding book for a disciplined adult, but it's clearly inappropriate for a child - even a teenager.
