Every unit

What is inside a unit

  1. 1 Dialogue first

    Each unit opens with a conversation between the same characters: the topic, words and forms appear in real speech before the rule.

  2. 2 Grammar in tables

    Cases, conjugations and aspect in colour-coded tables; the full explanation is one click away.

  3. 3 Words by topic

    Words with gender and tricky forms; up to B1, every Russian word has its stress marked.

  4. 4 Real Russian

    Authentic texts, simplified news, proverbs and screenshots of real Russian websites — booking, shopping, seeing a doctor.

  5. 5 Exercises that check themselves

    Fill in, put in order, translate, choose: every answer is checked instantly. At the end — homework and a unit test.

  6. 6 Exam practice

    TORFL-style texts and monologue plans with the start of each answer — so you speak from the very first stage.
