Instead of memorizing vocabulary words, work your way through an actual well-written novel. Even novices can follow along as each individual English paragraph is paired with the corresponding Russian paragraph. It won't be an easy project, but you'll learn a lot.
On a September day in 1821, in the church of a Yorkshire village, a man and six children stood around a grave. They were burying a woman: the man's wife, the children's mother. The children were all very young, and within a few years the two oldest were dead, too. Close to the wild beauty of the Yorkshire moors, the father brought up his young family. Who had heard of the Brontes of Haworth then? Branwell died young, but his sisters became famous writers. But they did not live to grow old or to enjoy their fame. Only their father was left, alone with his memories.Ver libro

A man is rescued at sea by the overbearing captain of a hunting schooner. Initially, the captain treats the survivor with a reasonable amount of dignity, unlike how he treats the rest of the crew. Later, another survivor is brought aboard and is a woman and the two survivors eventually escape the ship and find themselves on an island of seals. The captain's brother takes vengeance on the captain for prior misdeeds and the captain soon finds himself on adrift only to land on Seal Island as well, without any crew and a broken vessel.
