ГОЛОСА: A Basic Course in Russian (Sixth Edition), strikes a true balance between communication and structure. It takes a contemporary approach to language learning by focusing on the development of functional competence in the four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), as well as the expansion of cultural knowledge. It also provides comprehensive explanations of Russian grammar along with the structural practice students need to build accuracy. The sixth edition of this bestselling communicatively based text for beginning Russian has been updated by putting a greater focus on contemporary culture and simplified, visual grammar explanations that will better engage students. Books One and Two are a basic proficiency-oriented complete course in Russian language designed to bring students to the ACTFL Intermediate range in speaking (A2/B1 on the CEFR scale) after 200–250 classroom contact hours, or two years of academic study. The program also covers the basic morphology of Russian (declension, case government, conjugation). The program has been the bestseller as a college Russian textbook through five editions since 1993. It is designed to be the principal textbook for a two-year college sequence running at 3 to 5 hours a week — a total of 150 to 250 hours of face-to-face instruction at the college level, double at the high school level.

The units are organized thematically, and each unit contains dialogs, texts, exercises, and other material designed to enable students to read, speak, and write about the topic, as well as to understand simple conversations.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • For anyone who wants to learn a foreign language, this is the method that will finally make the words stick. “A brilliant and thoroughly modern guide to learning new languages.”—Gary Marcus, cognitive psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller Guitar Zero At thirty years old, Gabriel Wyner speaks six languages fluently. He didn’t learn them in school—who does? Rather, he learned them in the past few years, working on his own and practicing on the subway, using simple techniques and free online resources—and here he wants to show others what he’s discovered. Starting with pronunciation, you’ll learn how to rewire your ears and turn foreign sounds into familiar sounds. You’ll retrain your tongue to produce those sounds accurately, using tricks from opera singers and actors. Next, you’ll begin to tackle words, and connect sounds and spellings to imagery rather than translations, which will enable you to think in a foreign language. And with the help of sophisticated spaced-repetition techniques, you’ll be able to memorize hundreds of words a month in minutes every day. This is brain hacking at its most exciting, taking what we know about neuroscience and linguistics and using it to create the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn a foreign language in the spare minutes of your day.
