First year Russian Audio Materials to accompany the Welcome textbook

Below you will find links to pronunciation practice materials for Welcome, our first year Russian textbook. These materials are extremely useful for practicing pronunciation of new vocabulary. I urge you to use them. However, you will notice that the page numbers on the tracks do not correspond to the page numbers in the book. This is because I have revised my book since making this recording, and I cannot bring myself to redo it. It's about as fun to make as you can imagine. I'm sure you'll hear the enthusiasm in my voice! Luckily, the materials are almost the same, and the chapters are in the same order with the exception of ch. 9 and 10. Just go by the chapter number.

Russian 101 Textbook Alphabet-Chapter 5 (Also for RUS 150)

Russian 102 Textbook Chapters 6-10 (Also for RUS 150/151)

Russian 103 Textbook Chapters 11-15 (Also for RUS 151)


Each folder contains a complete list of MP3 tracks and one .zip file which will allow you to download all files at once. The compressed .zip file can be uncompressed using WinZIP utility (MacOS X and Windows XP both have the ability to uncompress .zip files without the help of third-party applications).

Happy listening!
