At this stage, children who are starting Russian from scratch take their very first steps in the language. Lessons are playful and engaging, making the transition into a new language environment feel natural, clear, and enjoyable.
The course helps children develop listening comprehension, build a basic vocabulary, and learn their first everyday phrases. They begin to understand simple instructions from the teacher without translation, become more confident, and take their first steps toward communicating independently in Russian.

- name toys, clothes, food, animals, plants, body parts, colors, and weather;
