      Writing In Rhythm

      Jun 19, 2019

      Often when people talk about “the music of language” they make it sound like a mere frill, something we add to “dress up” plain writing. I don’t agree with this view. At the heart of language, I hear music—word-music, akin in many ways to instrumenta

      Easy Russian is a fun and pretty simple way to learn some basic Russian. this is Volume 2 so I had a little trouble catching up since I don't own volume 1 but I speak a little Russian, just about enough to get by and start out with this volume. I liked using it but I wish I had had volume 1 to start with so I would know exactly what the writers wanted me to know.

      Overall, I like the CD. It is easy to follow and language lessons seem well thought out and grouped in a logical manner. My only real complaint is that the CD is supposed to be stand alone and honestly I do think that the first volume is needed prior to listening to the second volume. I feel like I would have much better comprehension of the lessons if I had begun with volume one. Still, all in all, I feel like the CD is good.

      Damn it, MAx Bollinger! Damn it, LibraryThing! I was all excited about getting this free review copy of Russian for English Speakers and reviewing it and helping you promote your book and learning some Russian along the way, and then I get it and it turns out it's not a book at all but a fucking CD-ROM, and like, I use a MacBook Air, guys? And it doesn't have a CD drive? And I know this isn't a review so blue flag me if you want but I came to you in good faith and what are you doing giving me stuff to review that's on dead media.

      I did a year's course in Russian as a subsidiary module at university a number of years ago and reached a stage where I could speak it reasonably well (although far from fluently). Since then I have made several attempts, mostly working from books, to revise my Russian skills but have not retained a very firm grasp on the language.This CD, focusing as it does on the spoken language, provides a very useful complement to grammar books and other written study materials for someone in my situation. I have not seen Volume 1 and I don't know how suitable the series would be for learning the language from scratch; I suspect that it would be very useful in conjunction with other courses but probably quite difficult to use on its own.The CD lasts for just over an hour and is divided into 11 tracks, consisting of a short introduction, 6 lessons, 3 short readings (including a translation of Hamlet's famous "To be or not to be" speech and an excerpt from Chekhov) and an extract from a recorded speech by Yuri Gagarin. The reader, Max Bollinger (who is also the author of the course), speaks fairly quickly but quite clearly and repeats most of the Russian words and phrases 3 times, as well as breaking many of the sentences down word by word and providing quite extensive explanations of how things work. In addition to covering a range of grammatical points, there is quite a lot of discussion about points of pronunciation as well as Russian culture, both of which are important in order to gain a good working knowledge of the language.This strikes me as a well-produced and well-structured course. Although it lacks the true interactivity of working directly with a teacher, it provides a very useful complement to other study materials for anyone studying without easy access to native Russian speakers.
