1Story of the week 15 minutes

Mark writes after five months of Russian. Everything in the letter is A1.

Письмо́ Ма́рка (Mark's letter)

Приве́т, А́нна! Пять ме́сяцев я учу́ ру́сский язы́к.

Тепе́рь я чита́ю, говорю́ и пишу́ по-ру́сски.

Вчера́ я был в библиоте́ке и прочита́л расска́з Че́хова.

В суббо́ту у меня́ экза́мен A1. Я до́лжен вы́учить слова́!

Пожела́й мне уда́чи! Марк

Then listen

Listen to Russian on the same topic. The textbook audio matches it best; the YouTube link opens a search, so pick a short video made for beginners.
