METHOD OF STUDY:

For each Unit,

1. Listen to the entire dialogue while following the English translation in the book to tell you what the foreign sentences mean.

3. Listen and repeat each sentence several more times. Avoid reading the written Russian.

4. Read each sentence in English and try to produce the Russian translation without looking in the book or listening to the tape. Check yourself against the tape.

5. Say the sentences of the dialogue along with the speaker on the tape again and again until you can produce the foreign sentences easily and quickly given only the English ones as cues.
