RUSSIAN I
Reading has been defined as the decoding of
graphic material which represents the phonemic
patterns of the spoken language. Or to put it another
way, reading consists of coming back to speech
through the graphic symbols. In short, meaningis contained in the sounds of the spoken language.
As the written form of any language does no more
than represent these sounds visually, speaking a
language is the necessary first step to reading and
understanding anything written in the language.
Russian is written in the Cyrillic alphabet.
This means that you will need to learn to
associate Russian sounds with what is
probably a new system of symbols. A com-
plete listing of the Cyrillic alphabet andthe sounds of its letters follows, starting on
page 4. You should use this for reference only,
however, as all the information you need to do
the readings is contained on the audio along with
the reading lessons.
There are sixteen reading lessons forRussian I,
Third Edition, all contained, along with instruc-
tions, at the end of the program. You may choose
to do the readings along with the lesson units,
after every other unit or so, or you may want to

wait and do them all together, after completing the
rest of the course. Feel free to repeat the reading
lessons as often as needed for practice with the
Cyrillic alphabet and its sounds.
Written Russian appears in the Cyrillic alphabet,
the invention of which is traditionally credited
to Saint Cyril, a ninth-century Russian monk.
Today, the Cyrillic alphabet is also used to repre-
sent many of the (mainly Slavic) languages spoken
in Eastern Europe, ranging from Belorussianto Macedonian. Derived from the Greek alphabet,
Cyrillic is a phonetic system, with some symbols
added or altered to represent sounds unique to
these languages.
If you are not familiar with the Cyrillic alphabet,
you may first find that it takes some time to associate
the appropriate sounds with each letter and/or group
of letters. Therefore, we recommend that you take
the Reading Lessons at your own pace, repeating
each until you feel comfortable proceeding with thenext. With a little effort, you will be astonished at
how quickly you are reading Russian.

RUSSIAN I
The Cyrillic alphabet comprises 33 letters, listed
in order, along with a guide to the sounds represented
by each letter. You will note that many Russian
letters (mostly vowels, but also some consonants)
have more than one sound, depending on the amountof stress given to the letter or its position in the word.
The pronunciations listed in the following Guide
to Pronunciation are APPROXIMATE English
equivalents and, as in any language, the sounds will
vary slightly in different letter combinations.
