Synopsis

The French Revolution comes to vivid life in Charles Dickens's famous novel about the best of times and the worst of times...

The storming of the Bastille…the death carts with their doomed human cargo…the swift drop of the guillotine blade—this is the French Revolution that Charles Dickens vividly captures in his famous work A Tale of Two Cities. With dramatic eloquence, he brings to life a time of terror and treason, a starving people rising in frenzy and hate to overthrow a corrupt and decadent regime. With insight and compassion, Dickens casts his novel of unforgettable scenes with some memorable characters: the sinister Madame Defarge, knitting her patterns of death; the gentle Lucie Manette, unswerving in her devotion to her broken father; Charles Darnay, the lover with a secret past; and dissolute Sydney Carton, whose unlikely heroism gives his life meaning.

It won’t be long until you amaze your friends and family by speaking French to them. It’s entirely possible that you could even hold a conversation with a native French speaker within a mere matter of weeks.Learn the most common words spoken in publicIt seems that learning a foreign language is difficult because there are so many words to learn. In fact, this isn’t the truth at all. There are only about 1,000 words that you need to learn. If you learn just these words, it’s possible to have a conversation with just about anyone. You’ll be talking to strangers in no time, and it will even surprise you.A second language opens up a new world of opportunitiesLearn phrases that you’ll use every daySpeak to the locals while travelingPlace orders at your favorite restaurantsHave casual conversations in FrenchYou may live in a community where French is widely spoken.

    We broke our new series on learning Russian down into different learning stages. Start with the “Lower Beginner” books followed by the “Beginner” and “Upper Beginner” books. Next, progress to the “Intermediate” series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the “Conversations” series. This audiobook is divided into units. While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Russian. The sample will give you a taste of what you can look forward to.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Russian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Russian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.  
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Russian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Russian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Russian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with. 
    Topics covered in this book: 
    - Greeting 
    - Asking personal information 
    - Asking about people or things 
    - Talking about the current time and date
