    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.

  • Phonology - Sound in Language: How We Speak and Understand Words - cover

    Phonology - Sound in Language:...

    Phonology is the branch of linguistics that deals with the study of sound systems in language. It focuses on how sounds are used and organized in particular languages, and how they contribute to meaning. Phonology is a key component of linguistics, as it helps us understand the structure of speech and how language functions at a fundamental level. The study of phonology is concerned not only with individual speech sounds, known as phonemes, but also with how these sounds interact with each other within the rules of a given language. Unlike phonetics, which focuses on the physical properties of speech sounds, phonology is primarily concerned with how these sounds function within a linguistic system. 
    Phonology is essential for understanding the patterns and regularities in how sounds are produced and interpreted by speakers of a language. It provides insight into the ways in which sound systems vary across languages and how they are structured in the mind. Phonological systems may include a variety of elements, such as consonants, vowels, syllables, stress patterns, and intonation, each of which plays a crucial role in forming the spoken word. Phonology helps to identify which sounds are significant in a language and how these sounds are perceived and organized.
