TRANSCRIPT
“I have completed the entire Pimsleur Spanish series. I have always wanted to learn, but failed on numerous occasions. Shockingly, this method worked beautifully. ”
R. Rydzewsk (Burlington, NC)
“The thing is, Pimsleur is PHENOMENALLY EFFICIENT at advancing your oral skills wherever you are, and you don’t have to make an appointment or be at your computer or deal with other students. ”
Ellen Jovin (NY, NY)
“I looked at a number of different online and self-taught courses before settling on the Pimsleur courses. I could not have made a better choice. ”
M. Jaffe (Mesa, AZ)

Introduction
As you know, Russian is written in the Cyrillic alphabet. A full listing of the alphabet has been included for your reference, beginning on page In the Reading Lessons which follow, it is assumed that you have completed the Reading Lessons included in Russian 1. If you have, you will recognize the letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, and you will be able to reproduce the sounds they represent. If you have not yet been introduced to the Cyrillic alphabet, we suggest that you go back and begin with the Readings from Russian 1.
In the reading lessons for Russian 2, you will continue to practice the pronunciation of Cyrillic letters and combinations of letters, as well as their use in different words and contexts. You may remember that stress in pronunciation can change the sound(s) of Russian vowels, and even some consonants. As there is no universal rule as to the stress and patterns of stress with which each word is pronounced, we have indicated where the stress is to be placed by showing the stressed vowel(s) in boldface.
For those who are interested, an English trans-lation of the words and sentences making up each lesson has been provided immediately after the page(s) containing the text for that lesson. You may enjoy learning some new Russian vocabulary after completing each lesson, but when doing the
2
Russian 2
lessons, first use the text WITHOUT translation. It’s important that as you first read through each lesson, you concentrate only on the recognition and pronun-ciation of the Cyrillic. Also, the cues indicating stress are found only on the page without translation.
There are twelve reading lessons for Russian 2. These can all be found at the end of the program. You can either do these Readings along with the audio lessons ... for example, a new reading lesson after every two or three lessons — or, if you find it more convenient, you can do them all together after completing the thirty lessons. Full instructions for the Readings can also be found at the end of the program.
