The Russian language helper has been designed to jump the gap from learning with phrase books to having a personal teacher.
Just like a phrase book the language helper has been organized into category's. You choose the area of conversation you want to learn, then pick out the phrases you need to know.
What makes this better than a phrase book is that each word is broken up into easy to say pieces, the same way your primary school teacher explained english words to you as a child, and when you click on the phrase you will hear the phrase pronounced by a well spoken native.
The combination of sound and learning methods found in the Language Helper will give you the confidence to talk to Russians in real life situations.
The Russian language helper is made up of two parts.
Part 1 - The Basics - 228 audio recordings
Part 2 - Phrases - 1351 audio recordings
The Basics:
Alphabet - you begin by learning how each letter in the alphabet sounds, and then are shown a word example for each letter.
Numbers - you can choose between cardinal (1,2,3,4....) or ordinal (1st, 2nd, 3rd...) numbers. The numbers are displayed out in an easy to see format. By rolling your mouse over the number you will be shown how to write the word, and how to say the word (with easy to say pieces), by clicking a number you will hear how a native would say it.
Day's of the week, Months of the year, Seasons, Colours - contain words and basic phrases. Each word and phrase is shown in an easy to say format, and by clicking on the word or phrase you can listen to how a native would say the words.
