ABSTRACT
Units begin with dialogues and short texts. These introduce all the new structures dealt with in that unit and are followed by lists of new vocabulary. Only the new vocabulary is explained in each unit. There is a cumulative Russian-English vocabulary at the back of the book, but it is important to try to master the vocabulary for each unit before moving on to the next. Each unit, as well as introducing new grammatical structures, also has a theme and teaches the student how to deal with a particular situation or situations in Russian. The English-Russian vocabulary does not contain all the words used in the book. It is intended for use with exercises in the book where you are required to translate into Russian, principally the improvisation exercises.
