Publisher's summary

If you want to learn Russian in less time while also enjoying yourself, then pay attention...

The experience of going through a story allows us to escape our lives for a moment, and so this is a perfect way to start learning a language. Going through a story activates your brain and imagination, thus increasing the chance to learn easily and not quit.

Often, people start learning a new language only to give up after a couple of weeks. This is not due to the complexity of the language but because they become disheartened as the method they are using does not give the right motivation. This is much less likely to happen if your tool is short stories!

In Russian Short Stories: 11 Simple Stories for Beginners Who Want to Learn Russian in Less Time While Also Having Fun, you will encounter rich and new but not too complex vocabulary, which is translated at the end of the chapter, avoiding the hassle of having to stop the listening rhythm to look up every word in the dictionary.

Every paragraph is translated, and the summary of each story is given, thus providing a clearer comprehension of each sentence, while trying to prevent the temptation that the listener might have, if discouraged, of giving up and listening to the whole story in English.

After each chapter, there is a question section, which aims to test the listener's overall understanding of the story, containing both open-ended and multiple-choice questions. The solved questions are provided at the end, enabling you to check your own answers and, consequently, develop your skills.

So, if you want to learn Russian while having fun, scroll up and click the "buy now" button!

Great collection of stories

I love the vastness and variety of the stories covered in this volume. I plan to use this book in a college course I am teaching. I would give the audiobook five stars.

Well done.

My Russian teacher recommended this audiobook, having found new writers and stories in it yet she'd not before present. The side-by-side translations are very well done.

I struggled with my Russian.

I like this audiobook for expanding my vocabulary and providing a more interesting and engaging resource than my regular audiobook.

Recommended for beginners

It's surprising how much building and meaning is maintained despite this. I won't be at a level where I can clearly understand the Russian side soon, but it's helpful to familiarize myself with the stories for now.

A well-known guide

I suspect, the answer is as follows: if you're looking to learn Russian, go on and wish something more suitable; this book will only mess up your current knowledge. As a native speaker, I just know it for pleasure and enjoyment of helping my translation...

I love this guide

This is helpful but I would suggest only if you are already at a reasonable level. If you are a beginner I would recommend the 11 simple Russian stories audiobook.

Wanted to refresh my Russian

Stories like the ones in this audiobook are of key interest to understand some cultural codes established in the everyday language of the native speakers.

Very good representation of the best

It's a very fun collection to know while traveling in Russia. I don't know that it includes the absolute "best" of every author, but all the stories give a good understanding of each writer's style and awareness.
