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.

Just to talk about our work, and have some tea.

When: May 10, 2024, 3-4 pm

Where: Panera Bread at 35 Capital Green Drive, Ponte Vedra, FL 32081
Call me if you have any questions (855) 765-1265; 9am-5pm CST

Regular books can be purchased all over the world. Primarily in the USA, this is via the Asordi.com site. You can buy Soroka books in Europe from the site of a store in Greece, called Kalinka. Books are sold in Turkey, and in Russia, of course. In Japan and Australia, they are sold by Amazon. By the way, Amazon also sells in other places, including Europe and the USA. Why not? On Amazon in your country, search by ISBN and my name.

Now your questions.

General questions on the books

Is it possible to look inside the book?

Certainly! Open your personal account on the SorokaM.com website and you will receive access to Chapter 3 of Soroka 1. See how everything works; if you like the book, buy it. Here is the link to the site.  If you have a personal account on the site, then put a “+” in the comments.

Which publisher?

It is self-published. I prepared it for printing myself. I print through special services.

Is there an audio for the textbook?

Yes, there are free audios. They are on the SorokaM.com website and you can download them. I have video instructions on how to download audio files to your computer. People who have already downloaded the audio, please write + in the comments.

Who are your helpers?

In Russia there is Anna Leonova, who speaks English, by the way. In the USA, there’s Tamara Aksyonova, who often answers calls and emails. I have a video editor, who’s also my consultant for all video and photo content (and she’s also my daughter, Maria). And I have a proofreader, Peter, who lives in California and helps me with texts in English.

What year was Soroka released?

In 2016.

In what city did Soroka come out?

I live in a city called New Orleans, in the southern USA. You could say that Soroka came out here.

About electronic copies

You say that the site is American, but the phone number on the site is with a Russian number. Why is that?

Because the technical support staff live in Russia. Google employees, for example, live in India. Due to the time difference, it’s more convenient.

Can I print electronic copies? How many times?

You can print an unlimited number of electronic copies.

Can I save it to my computer?

You cannot save it to your computer.

Can I get PDF versions?

No, PDFs are not provided.

For how long do you provide access?

Time is not limited.

About printed books

Have you left Amazon?

Not yet.

Which countries do you deliver to?

Almost any.

Where can I buy paper books?

In the USA, this is through the Asordi website; in Europe, through the Greek store Kalinka in Russia, through the RuSoroka website; and in Turkey, through a partner in Ankara.

Amazon has free shipping. What about you?

We offer free shipping within the USA.

If you have any questions, write them in the comments.

On Mar. 9, 2024, I will speak at the conference of Russian language teachers. Come to join us!

Some photos from previous meetings with colleagues can be found on this page: https://sorokad.com/en/seminars/

1. Maria Goncharenko’s books for teaching bilingual children are now available at asordi.com.

2. A big summer sale has started at asordi.com. Get a 20% discount on the books of the Soroka and Sarafan Courses, including the book “Vassily the Cat”.

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:

• An interview with Olesya Baltak – how many words per line, lines per page, and chapters a graded reading book should have;

• A presentation of Tekstometr, a tool that allows you to independently analyze the text and determine whether it meets the specified level;

• Technical aspects of publishing on Amazon and Teachers Pay Teachers;

• Publishing your own magazine for bilingual children.
