Course Overview
Break the Secret Code and Learn Cyrillic
Who has time to learn a new language?! If you're planning a trip to Russia or any country using the Cyrillic alphabet, this course is for you! In just an hour and a half, you can be a master at reading Russian. Which means you will be able to read and understand hundreds of words, simply because they are the same as words you already know! Getting around will be much easier and way more interesting, as you will be able to translate many signs.
Nancy Howland Walker has been teaching nearly her entire life - topics from Russian and English as a Second Language, to Sailing and Improv Comedy. Her teaching style is easy going and fun.

I think I saw that this course was uploaded quite some years ago from now, but it is still very useful from what I can tell. Never knew it would be so easy to read Cyrillic. Nancy, the instructor, has enough experience and awareness to get you well on your way (and a great personality, too! I wish I knew where you did improve comedy, I'd come to a show!). A linguist might be a little picky about the presentation here and there but it's nothing that affects the effectiveness of this course. Thanks, Nancy!

Good course, and teaches the very basics of Russian (just the alphabet) with mostly words that you'd already know in English but into Russian. Not necessarily to read Russian but gets you down to pronounce some of the words. This course has actually clarified a few things in some areas so it was helpful. It is a bit pricey however, and learning the Russian alphabet is pretty easy to find for free, but this course is better in actually teaching you how you should pronounce some things.
