1. Sometimes you can’t afford to buy a whole textbook. This way you can purchase a chapter at a time: Buy one chapter and finish it; buy the next, finish it; and so on. We take it gradually.
2. Sometimes you don’t need an entire textbook, just one specific topic or exercise. There’s no point in buying the entire set of three books. Let’s take one chapter at a time. I’ll tell you how to find the right chapter a little later.

I can already hear the exclamation: Well, since she is an author, she will now start promoting her textbooks! But I won’t start; later I’ll explain why. And now back to the topic. In the first part, I will tell you about selection criteria, how I personally would choose a Russian textbook, what questions I would ask during the selection.

The electronic version offers savings on shipping, for sure; but savings on printing are doubtful — printing on a printer, especially color, is very expensive. Calculate how much it will cost to print the entire book yourself vs. buying printed copies, especially considering that in some countries, delivery is free (to the USA, for example).

3. A new section titled “Samizdat” (SELFPUBLISHED) designed specifically for teachers who want to publish their materials but, for some reason, are unable to work with established publishers, was introduced on the YouTube channel.
The subjects we have already covered and to which I’d like you to pay attention are:
There is a new question in the mail: What should be done here on Page 9 in the Activity book of Sarafan 1?
Who are they? And why do we encounter them in the book of Russian as a foreign language?
You asked me for flashcards so many times that now they have finally appeared on sorokam.com.

Additionally, you may buy them on the websites TpT and asordi.com
