'Rasskaz-Sensatsiya: v pomosh izuchayushim russkiy yazik (ne tolko
dlya Gvadeluptsev)' (The Story Sensation: for learners of the
Russian language (and not only for Guadeloupians ) is a sarcastic
story, a detective line, written as an aid to making the Russian
language study process a little bit more bearable for adult
learners. The story contains approximately 800 Russian words from
such topics as clothes, food, politics, office, sports and gym,
transport and business that are required for everyday
communication.

The story is completely fictional, with fictional characters and
scenery, full of sarcasm and jokes with a mockery of stereo-types.
Ignaty Dyakov, professional Russian teacher, wrote it as an aid to
making the Russian language study process a little bit more
bearable for adult learners. By no means can it be seen as a
substitute for the classical language textbook but the author's
humble hope is that it can become a useful and enjoyable supplement
to the course materials for Elementary & Pre-Intermediate
levels.
'Rasskaz Sensatsiya' contains approximately 800 words that are
required for everyday communication. Every word appears in the text
several times so that the learner can become accustomed to its
meaning in the context. The author tried to include words from such
topics as clothes, food, politics, office, sports and gym,
transport and business. He also tried to use some common Russian
set expressions and proverbs and quotes from famous songs. There
are many dialogues in the story. There are lists of new words in
every chapter. No translation is provided so that the learner can
make a note of the meanings in their own language. At the end of
the book, one can find a concise Russian-English dictionary.
The story is written in slightly simplified Russian. Thus, the
learner will find it easier to recognise and memorise grammar
structures. At the end of each chapter there are questions and/or
grammar exercises.
The book is published in association with "Russia Local Ltd,"
London-based linguistic consultancy supporting international
organisations expanding their business in Russia, "Russo-British
Chamber of Commerce" and "ctms Travel Agency." It is illustrated by
Gregg Ink.
"5% of all proceeds from the sale of this book will go to support
