"My Russian Friend": Russian for Beginners

In 2006-2008, I designed and delivered Russian language training to foreign businessmen in Moscow. 

The programme was published by Zlatoust Publishing House, titled “My Russian Friend”: St.Petersburg, Russia 2011

The course focuses on developing basic speaking, writing, listening and reading skills as well as acquiring useful grammar. It is tailored to the needs of an adult learner and helps understand and use familiar expressions in everyday and business surroundings.
