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.

We meet at Hotel Marriott lobby

the address is 2051 S Le Jeune Rd, Coral Gables, FL 33134

This is the number you can call if you have any questions of get lost (855) 765-1265.

Please be aware that online broadcasting and video recording are not provided.      

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

III) Soroka’s eBay store has been reopened. I invite everyone who prefers buying textbooks through this site to our store.
https://www.ebay.com/usr/sordig-0

*** 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.

I invite everyone to meet with me in the wonderful capital of Mexico – Mexico City.

The program includes: the presentation of the Teacher’s Book of Soroka 1 in the Spanish language, communication with colleagues and parents, and coffee breaks with crackers.

The event will take place on Dec. 4, 2022, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Hotel Benidorm, located at:

Frontera #217, Col. Roma, C.P. 06700, México, Ciudad de México. https://www.benidorm.com.mx/

Along with presentations and interaction with colleagues, I’m planning to run a lottery with the three books of “Vassily the Cat.”

For people who want to buy the Soroka and Sarafan books from me, there will be an opportunity to do so: I can bring the books to Mexico, but on a pre-order and pre-payment basis only. Please contact me by email at opulentus@mail.com to learn how to pay. Orders will be accepted until Nov. 25, 2022.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any.

See you in Mexico!

We held a small roundtable and had nice conversations over lunch. There were colleagues whom I had met before personally, and people whom I had only communicated with online. It was my pleasure to meet everyone in person!

*** On Oct. 22, 2022, I had a meeting with colleagues from New Jersey where I managed to communicate with teachers of the Russian language from The Do-Re-Mi School.

I’d like to remind you that you may invite me to speak at your school as well. All you need to do is just let me know about it in advance.

*** A new coupon is available at the asordi.com website. This time, all who ordered a set of eight books will receive “Illustrated Russian Grammar” by Goutta Snetkov as a gift.

Have a good November!

*** The Soroka 2 course is available for purchase at sorokam.com  as units. I’d like to remind you that each file is the “horizontal cross-section” of the course, as it contains pages from the Student’s Book, Activity Book and Teacher’s Book. This is a convenient way to purchase the course, one unit at a time.

*** There is a new coupon with a discount of 10% on all books for reading in Russian on the asordi.com  website. You may purchase either a set of eight books for reading (the most cost-effective method) or only one of them. Delivery across the U.S. is available, free of charge.

*** We are looking forward to seeing everyone at our meeting in New York on Oct. 23, 2022.

I invite everyone interested to meet with me and other teachers of Russian as a foreign language. Speakers who have already confirmed their attendance: Olessia Apert, Alyona Greene, Olga Kisluhina and Ekaterina Klimchenko. We meet on Oct. 23, 2022, at 11am at Hampton Inn, located at:

220 West 41st St.
New York, New York, 10036-7203

We are planning to hold a small round table on the issues of teaching Russian to children, so be ready to ask your questions, please, and let me know if you also want to be a speaker.

Please, confirm that you are coming so that we can keep in touch and inform you about any changes to the program if such will be made.

Don’t hesitate to contact me by e-mail at opulentus@mail.ru; or call/text and ask questions on 855-765-1265.
