RUSLAN 1 READER SUPPLEMENT
This will be a 32 page supplement for the Ruslan Russian course, to be published in June 2008. It will contain additional reading passages, translation exercises, songs and poems for learners and an English to Russian dictionary for the course.

In the reading passages you will meet Igor, Lyudmila's ex-husband, as he travels to Saint Petersburg and Novosibirsk.

The songs are fun songs for learners, some using tunes from well-known Russian folk songs.

Here are some examples:
Lesson 4, Reading Passage, Translations and Song.
Lesson 4. Recording of the song "Iz Aeroporta kak poedem ...?", sung by Nadezhda Bragina.

The price of this supplement, with free audio CD, is expected to be £15.95, but teachers will have permission to make copies of individual pages for their lessons.
