Media Russian Vocabulary 1: Anki Flashcards

‘Media Russian Vocabulary 1’ Anki Flashcards presents all key vocabulary words and phrases from the book along with their example sentences with audio for each. Each card is presented twice, Russian-English and then English-Russian, bringing the actual number of cards to over 4,000.

The Media Russian Vocabulary Anki flashcards contain sub-decks for each unit (Politics, Crime, and Arts and Entertainment). You can study a sub-deck to focus on the vocabulary from a particular unit or study the main deck to review vocabulary from all units.

Anki flashcards provide a highly effective method for mastering the vocabulary found in the related eBook (sold separately). Thanks to Anki’s smart spaced repetition technique, you get to optimize memory retention. Additionally, you can repeatedly listen to and emulate the pronunciation from the sample sentences to enhance your listening skills. Once you feel confident in your learning, you can gauge your progress by reading the related articles and other texts in the eBook.

The cards in Russian-English format showcase the key word (or phrase) in Russian, an audio clip of the key word (which can be replayed by clicking the audio icon), and an example sentence to practice reading and trying to understand. If you struggle to remember the English translation of a word, try looking at the example sentence. This sentence can serve as a hint, helping you decipher the meaning based on the context. In a subsequent stage, you’ll be given the English-Russian version of the card, which displays the English translations of the key word and example sentence. Your task is to remember the key word’s Russian equivalent; for an optional challenge, convert the example sentence back into Russian. Upon revealing the answer, both the word and sentence in Russian will be visible and audible to you.
