All about books by Marianna Avery.

 

Why do you need a unit-by-unit textbook of Russian as a foreign language?

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.

3. Sometimes you might not need a complete Teacher’s Book, but only the tests. You can also buy test papers separately. I have a separate video about them.

There are a lot of good Russian textbooks for children on the market. How can you choose the one that is right for you and your students?

Where can I buy the Soroka Russian for Kids course and other questions

First, decide which version you need: print or electronic. A printed book is an ordinary book. Electronic access to documents is through files on the SorokaM.com website; these files can be viewed and printed. The site is American, and works all over the world. (People buy from us in Vietnam, Uzbekistan, the USA, and other countries.) We accept payment by credit card and PayPal. 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). But choose for yourself. I personally love regular books.
