The Living Russian Grammar is intended for university students and for students in schools and colleges, as well as for adults at beginner and pre-intermediate level. It can also usefully be used by intermediate learners who wish to review and consolidate their language skills, wither with a teacher, or in self study mode.
Translated into English by John Langran
Development
The Living Russian Grammar responds to the needs of learners who wish to acquire the basics of communication in Russian with a correct lexical and grammatical basis.
The book was tested in different versions, and improved in response to feedback to feedback from clients - students, business people, diplomats, ex-pats, etc.
Principles
This grammar does not purport to be a full description of the Russian language. it is a teaching and learning tool based on a selection of the most essential grammatical structures, and introducing an active and useful vocabulary. We have tried to show how linguistic elements are organised and uses in real context. Similarity, we have only used examples that might be considered useful at this level of study. Lastly, we have always attempted to make the learning of Russian grammar less abstract, more interesting and more motivating.
Layout
The book comprises 57 units, which allow separate of each grammatical topic, as well as a set of grammatical tables at the end. In the units, grammatical points are explained on the left-hand pages, with live examples, and exercises to practise the language are given on the right-hand page. Certain more complex grammatical topics are split over several units.
