What is iLearnRussan?

iLearnRussan is a project by Russia Online bookstore, which concentrates exclusively on highlighting and presenting materials for
learning and teaching Russian as a foreign language.
The major purpose of iLearnRussian.com is to combine materials for
all language levels: from beginner to advanced; for both instructors
and students in one place.
The information on the web site is carefully organized, so one can
choose a textbook and/or other additional materials according to
their proficiency level, quickly and efficiently.Through detailed
descriptions, sample pages and exam copies, teachers can critically
select titles from the best materials to enhance their lesson plans
and methodologies.

als that can build on their classroom learning or self-study about

the whole range of topics from Russian verbs to Russian culture and
current politics.
Our goal is to provide a comprehensive resource, useful for anyone learning or teaching Russian at any level - from high school to
university to those learning on their own. We offer the best materials
on many aspects of Russian language and give the opportunity to the
teachers and students to make the education process interesting and
fun!

Levels of Russian as a Foreign Language:

Additionally, teachers will find a wide-range of great new readers,

grammar books and other items that can be used to supplement and
expand upon existing materials - regardless of publisher or level.
These additional materials allow flexibility and keep lessons contemporary and relevant to student experience and goals (enhancing
their major, foreign travel, etc.).
Languages are living creatures and are always changing - learning
a foreign language should reflect this dynamism. Static, unchanging materials lead to students disinterest and negatively impact
their motivation. Our inventory is always growing and developing,
so there are always new titles reflecting the contemporary world.
Browsing our selection, students will be able to select extra materi(301)903-0607
