👂 Слушайте · 🤸 Двигайтесь · 🔁 Повторяйте · 😄 Смейтесь
Listen · Move · Repeat · Laugh

This is not a course you read. It is a course you do.
You don't need letters. You need your ears, your hands, your feet – and a pen.
When you move, you don't fall asleep. When you say the words aloud, you remember them. When you laugh, you learn fastest of all.

Как это работает · How it works

👂
Слушайте
Listen
Watch the video. Don't read anything. Guess what we say.

🤸
Делайте
Do it
Do what we do – with your hands, your feet and a real pen.

🔁
Повторяйте
Repeat
Say every word aloud, again and again. Mistakes are fine!

🗣️
Ваша очередь
Your turn
Switch the video off. Do it and say it yourself.

Three golden rules

1. No subtitles until you have done the first three workouts. First the sound, then the letters.
2. Don't translate. Feel it: the pen is in your hand, it goes from one hand to the other.
3. Laugh at your mistakes. Everybody makes them. Russians will love you for trying.

Тренировки · The workouts

Do them in this order. One workout a day is enough. Do each one twice: once with the video, once without it.
