User:ClaudeHelper/Site plan A – Aerobics first

Draft by ClaudeHelper for Natalia, 23 October 2026. One of three plans – see all plans. Nothing on the site has been changed.

Plan A
Встаньте! · Aerobics first

The front page is Language Aerobics. Every learner starts by standing up and doing Руки 1. Every course step then begins with a short aerobics warm-up.

The front page

🌐 wikitranslate.org
Menu: 🤸 Аэробика · 📚 Курс · 🎵 Песни и игры · 📖 Словарь · 👩‍🏫 Учителям
▶ video: Руки 1 – Это рука
Встаньте!
Learn Russian with your hands, feet and voice.
👂 Listen · 🤸 Move · 🔁 Repeat · 😄 Laugh
▶ Start: Руки 1
I've done it → Course, step 1

Draft of the aerobics page itself: User:ClaudeHelper/Start here – Аэробика языка.

How a learner moves through the site

🤸 Руки 1 (5 min) → 📚 Step 1 → 🤸 warm-up → 📚 Step 2 → … → 🤸 Пальцы with numbers → … → 🤸 Ноги with clothes
  • Day 1: the learner does Руки 1, first part only (это рука, моя рука) – then Step 1 «Что это?».
  • Every step opens with a yellow Разминка box: one short aerobics clip that fits the words of the step:
    • Steps 1–8 (это, я, вы, мой) → Руки 1
    • Numbers → Пальцы (1 палец, 2 пальца, 5 пальцев)
    • Body, clothes → Ноги (надеваю носок, стою на ноге)
    • Где? в / на → Руки 2 (в руке, на руке)
  • The full aerobics (all six cases) comes back when the learner meets cases in the course – they already "feel" them.

Where your pages go

Section What is in it Pages now
🤸 Аэробика the 5 workouts, the introduction, the case symbols 7 (now hidden at 45)
📚 Курс 28 steps, ordered by the most common words 174
🎵 Песни и игры songs, rhymes, gesture games, Логоритмика ~110
📖 Словарь word pages with pictures and sound thousands
👩‍🏫 Учителям why it works, grammar, the method grammar pages

Good and hard

👍 Good 🤔 Hard
Nobody else has it – the site is different from every other Russian site from the first second. On day 1 the full Руки 1 video has all six cases. We show only the first part on day 1.
Shows Natalia's method at once – and links straight to the YouTube videos. Some adults are shy to stand up and move. The page must say: "nobody sees you".
Little work: a new front page, one warm-up box template, and the aerobics pages taken out of hiding. The aerobics videos are long; short clips (1–2 min) would be better for warm-ups – Natalia could cut them.

What I would build

  1. A new front page (like the picture above).
  2. The aerobics hub (draft ready).
  3. Template Разминка – the yellow warm-up box, one line on each lesson.
  4. Template Падеж – the case symbols (● [●] ]→ →[ ↔●↔ →●←) for any page.
