Learn Russian: Survival Phrases

Rate this book
My friend Robert texted me one day in London: "Angelos, I'm flying to Moscow tomorrow. Can we catch up tonight at the pub to teach me a little bit of Russian?" Initially, I thought..."WTF? Is he serious? What has he been doing all these days?" I know that it takes at least a couple of weeks to get a Russian visa sorted in the Russian Visa Centre in London. So, he definitely didn't decide to fly to Moscow today! But then I thought...that's a challenge! That's a James Bond mission impossible...maybe possible! Can I teach him the very very basic? What is the very basic Russian? How do I teach him the very basic? If I had only a couple of hours, a pen and a few blank sheets, what would I write down for him? Sometimes, tight time restrictions can awake motivation: "Yes, we can do it!" In this book you'll find the things I wrote down for Robert that evening in the pub. The very basic. In the simplest words ever. I have to say that I enjoyed the challenge but I wrote this book for the next Robert who will ask me to catch up on the day before he flies to Moscow. If you see yourself in Robert, read this book. Don't f***** call me. Kindness and smiles, Angelos Explore Russian

My passion is learning. Learning about languages, psychology, creativity, mathematics, international affairs, economy, history. But also, learning about learning. How does our memory work? How can we remember more and forget less? I write because I learn from my readers. We all learn from each other. There is no point in learning for ourselves. You will find me at livediversified.com. Write to me. Share your experiences. And read. And learn. And grow.

On the one hand it's not a bad book for those who plan travel to Russia without even very basic knowledge of the language. On the other hand, it requires the readers to be able to read Cyrillic. So, I am not sure how it would work without the recordings, but generally the thinking behind it and its realisation is decent.
