The BEST way is to <b>LEARN BY DOING</b>. Learning a language is the same: Learn by doing!<br /><br /> <b>It's NOT difficult to learn to read Russian</b>. Do it. Do NOT waste time with roman alphabet transcriptions. Listen and learn to read Russian.<br /><br /> Do NOT waste any time learning the alphabet or studying the phonetics, simply begin reading. <u>Listen and read.</u> Let your intuitive mind take charge and you WILL learn, I guarantee.<br /><br /> Repetition but it a natural and complete manner is a MUST. You learn an entire basic song, right? Not just random bars from many songs. (Like learning sample sentences.) <br /><br /> Using simple dialogues like the one to the right and reading along, <u>out loud</u>, quickly builds up the <u>physical ability</u> to hear and speak Russian. With a dialogue, there's a natural repetition and 'spiralling' of words. Words are repeated frequently while new ones are added.<br /><br /> Here's the first lesson read by a native speaker, or skip down to <a href="#LESSON2" name="2LESSON2" onmouseover="self.status='Go to next part';return true" onmouseout="self.status=' ';return true">Lesson 2</a>.<br /><br /> (Note: for members you get the audio for all lessons and access to all our material, plus direct contact with a teacher.

Each of these lessons take about 5 minutes to read straight through and 5 to 10 minutes if you take your time and read the extra points. If this is your very first time reading Russian, I'm sure you're quite surprised at the progress you're making so quickly. That's the key, keep up the pace. <br><br> <div style="width:575px" id="__ss_6021149"><strong style="display:block;margin:12px 0 4px"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/brian99/learn-russian-fast-lesson-3" title="Learn Russian FAST - Lesson 3">Learn Russian FAST - Lesson 3</a></strong><object id="__sse6021149" width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=learnrussianfast-lesson3-101203112825-phpapp01&stripped_title=learn-russian-fast-lesson-3&userName=brian99" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed name="__sse6021149" src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=learnrussianfast-lesson3-101203112825-phpapp01&stripped_title=learn-russian-fast-lesson-3&userName=brian99" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="575" height="505"></embed></object><div style="padding:5px 0 12px">View more <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/">presentations</a> from <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/brian99">Brian Cellars</a>.</div></div> <br><br> <div style="width:575px" id="__ss_6030661"><strong style="display:block;margin:12px 0 4px"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/brian99/learn-russian-fast-lesson-4" title="Learn Russian FAST - Lesson 4">Learn Russian FAST - Lesson 4</a></strong><object id="__sse6030661" width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=learnrussianfast-lesson4-101204091834-phpapp02&stripped_title=learn-russian-fast-lesson-4&userName=brian99" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed name="__sse6030661" src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=learnrussianfast-lesson4-101204091834-phpapp02&stripped_title=learn-russian-fast-lesson-4&userName=brian99" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="575" height="505"></embed></object><div style="padding:5px 0 12px">View more <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/">presentations</a> from <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/brian99">Brian Cellars</a>.</div></div> <br><br> You've now been introduced to just over 100 words in Russian, and that's counting various forms of the same word as separate words, since you really do need practice at each one individually. And it's important that the program 'trains' you into using them correctly without thinking.<br><br> Hmm.. What to do? : <<.. 'B> 45;0BL?<br> What are you doing? : 'B> BK 45;05HL? / 'B> K 45;05B5?<br> What's he doing? : 'B> >= 45;05B? <br><br> People make simple mistakes in English because they never trained themselves 'automatically' add the 's' for he/she or plural, for example. They know the rule but they don't follow it because they forget, but more correctly, because it's not 'automatic'. We want to help you learn to speak proper Russian 'automatically'. <br><br> <HR WIDTH="70%" ALIGN=CENTER> <br> <br /> <font size=+1><b><u>Steps to 'Activate' Your Russian</u></b></font><br /> <br /> Using the <u>same dialogues</u>, you then try an exercise where you select the appropriate word.
