‘Sarafan 2’ and other news

To my great regret, the “Sarafan 2” project is closed.

The reasons are very different, and there are many of them.

What can I do for you? I already wrote about how to choose a textbook on Russian as a foreign language for the level and objectives of your course. Here is the link. There are a lot of interesting textbooks and various courses to choose from.

I am currently working on how to make the teaching methodology simple and understandable for different teachers, especially those who are just starting to teach Russian as a foreign language and have not yet fully mastered the new profession.

I have two channels for communication: 1) I continue to maintain my blog (you are reading it now), and 2) I record videos for my YouTube channel. By the way, we uploaded the audio for Soroka’s textbooks to YouTube at the request of teachers and parents.

Subscribe to both the blog and the channel. Read the blog more often and watch the channel. Write if you have any questions.

I anticipate the question: Why do I need to register to leave a comment or ask a question? This is necessary to combat spam and bots. The same rules apply to YouTube, where you can also leave a comment only to channel owners.

I always answer all questions. My assistants , Anna Leonova and Tamara Aksyonova, can answer as well. If someone needs my consultation, the registration is still open; here is the link.

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.

NEWS and SPECIAL DEALS – December 2022

*** The Spanish version of the Teacher’s Book for Soroka 1 has been published. I’m pleased to invite everyone to the presentation of the book, which will take place on Dec. 4, 2022, in the capital of Mexico – Mexico City.

*** The last coupon offer on all Teacher’s Books is available. Enter the code “tbook” in the coupon field to get the book at a lower price of $8.99.

This is the last promo code on the site, because statistics show that our clients don’t use codes to receive a discount. Even when we offered a 20 percent discount on all books, for some reason people purchased books at full price. For that reason, there will be no more promo codes on the site.
