RUSSIAN 1Introduction

Reading has been defined as the decoding of graphic material which represents the phonemic patterns of the spoken language. Or to put it another way, reading consists of coming back to speech through the graphic symbols. In short, meaning is contained in the sounds of the spoken language. As the written form of any language does no more than represent these sounds visually, speaking a language is the necessary first step to reading and understanding anything written in the language.

Russian is written in the Cyrillic alphabet. This means that you will need to learn to associate Russian sounds with what is probably a new system of symbols. A complete listing of the Cyrillic alphabet and the sounds of its letters follows, starting on page You should use this for reference only, however, as all the information you need to do the readings is contained on the audio along with the reading lessons.

There are sixteen reading lessons for Russian 1, all contained, along with instructions, at the end of the program. You may choose to do the readings along with the audio lessons, after every other lesson or so, or you may want to wait and do them all together, after completing the rest of the course. Feel free to repeat the reading lessons as often as needed for practice with the Cyrillic alphabet and its sounds.

Introduction

Written Russian appears in the Cyrillic alphabet, the invention of which is traditionally credited to Saint Cyril, a ninth-century Russian monk. Today, the Cyrillic alphabet is also used to represent many of the (mainly Slavic) languages spoken in Eastern Europe, ranging from Belorussian to Macedonian. Derived from the Greek alphabet, Cyrillic is a phonetic system, with some symbols added or altered to represent sounds unique to these languages.

If you are not familiar with the Cyrillic alphabet, you may first find that it takes some time to associate the appropriate sounds with each letter and/or group of letters. Therefore, we recommend that you take the Reading Lessons at your own pace, repeating each until you feel comfortable proceeding with the next. With a little effort, you will be astonished at how quickly you are reading Russian.

You will note that many Russian letters (mostly vowels, but also some consonants) have more than one sound, depending on the amount of stress given to the letter or its position in the word. The pronunciations listed in the following “Guide to Pronunciation” are APPROXIMATE English equivalents and, as in any language, the sounds will vary slightly in different letter combinations.
