Om Podcasten

Easy listening practice for Russian learners who already speak and understand some Russian and are willing to improve their understanding and listening skills. Each episode is a short story read slowly for you to hear how sounds and words are connected in sentences and then – at a regular speaking speed so that you can hear the speech melody. Comments on certain vocabulary are provided. The transcripts and extra materials, such as grammar notes and glossaries, are available on russiancast.ru
