Description: In this course offered by BBC Languages, you get to learn the Russian language in a fun and creative way. The course follows fictional characters, Chris, from London, and Irina, from Moscow, as they fall in love in the heart of Russia. While you try to guess the meaning of the word or sentence to follow the drama of their lives, you’ll learn the language as you watch a Russian love story unfold.
After the experience of the soap opera, take some time to read some facts, learn the alphabet or listen to mp3 clips of Russian words and phrases. If you’re really brave, go a few steps further and try reading the BBC Russian news website.
