How my 10-year struggle to learn Russian led to the development of this amazing Rapid
Russian Vocabulary System!
This system is so extraordinary, that anyone can develop
an effective vocabulary in weeks or months, instead of painstaking years...
My name is Dan Bauer, and I recently had the great pleasure of conducting a Russian
language class that resulted in men and women of all ages reading, writing, and conversing
in Russian in just months... What can and has taken others 8 to 10 years, including
myself, can now be compressed into just months.
The accelerated language learning methods involved in this breakthrough system are
not secret. Linguists have been researching and developing them for decades. However,
the result of combining these methods into one system has led to an incredibly efficient
way of learning the most useful Russian words... These are the words you need to communicate
effectively with Russian speaking people; to understand, and be understood. These
methods will work for you, with or without this program!
|
I know exactly what you are going through to learn Russian... Look
at the entire library I had built-up over the years... none of these really efficient!
What works is learning words using these proven methods!
|
|
These methods are:
-
Word Association
-
Graduated Interval Repetition
- Word Frequency
- Flashcards
**Word Association
It’s much easier to remember new words by linking them with terms in your native
language, and by visualizing. You probably use this method all the time without
even
realizing it. For example: Do you remember the shape of Italy? Many of us learned
in school that Italy is shaped like a boot. Once you visualize this, and picture
in your mind that Italy is a boot, then it’s hard to forget! But how many of us
know what Germany, France, Poland, and so on look like? I must confess I don’t,
because I don’t have a picture of it in my mind. But I remember the shape of Italy,
even decades after learning it. (Oops! Did I give away my age?).
The memory aids on many slides, use these word associations. As you view them, try
to VIVIDLY see a detailed picture in your mind. Spend 10 or 15 seconds visualizing
it. Imagine details, colors, sounds, tastes, smells, etc. And the more outrageous
or ridiculous you make the picture, the better you will remember. You can learn
over a 100 words a day this way!! And you will REMEMBER THE WORDS that you learn
much easier and faster than simply trying to memorize them.
For example:
Foot in Russian sounds like "stoop nyah" in English. Imagine that you
STOOP over to touch your foot. EXAGGERATE by imagining something such as your foot
being swollen to the size of a watermelon, and turning purple. (Even better, actually
STOOP and touch your foot, or have your students actually do this). Then say, "doesn't
this look foolish? NYAH, let's not do this." And there you have the word! STOOP NYAH...
Was that difficult? Why not learn Russian the simple fast,
natural way?
And don't let pronunciation intimidate you... see
my article:
Correct Russian Pronunciation… The Key
to Oral Communication...
You can make up these word associations yourself. In fact, if you make them up yourself,
you will remember them even better. But much of the work has been done for you in
this program. About one third of the words already have these memory aids.

Now you will remember the word with just brief reminders from time to time. Which
brings us to the next accelerated language learning method.
**Timed(or Graduated) Interval Repetition
Of great importance is reviewing the words at the correct time. I can’t emphasize
this enough!
To get the maximum benefit from these methods, you must know about
and apply this
principle!
Even if you don’t obtain this program(which would be missing a tremendous opportunity
to seriously accelerate your learning curve), you still will benefit greatly by
applying this principle:Each time you review a thought or a word in your mind, it’s impressed on your neural
net more deeply. In practical terms, each time you review a word, you remember it
for a longer period of time.
For example:
The first time you learn a word, you might only remember it for 10-seconds. But
if you review it again in 10-seconds, then you can remember it for 20-seconds. Then,
if you review it in 20-seconds, you can remember it for 40-seconds,
and so on. What does this mean for you? To make the best use of your time, and really
remember vocabulary, you must review it at appropriate times.
This doesn’t mean spending massive amounts of time. On the contrary, even reviewing
the words at one per second is enough to reinforce your memory. So review new vocabulary
words several times in the first session until you feel that you remember them.
Then review them again that evening, then the next morning. Double the length of
time between each review to daily, then in two days, then in four days, etc. This
need not take a lot of time! Remember, all it takes is one second or less to reinforce
the word in your memory. The repeat buttons in the vocabulary program are designed
to help you do this.
Much time and effort has been spent by researchers to verify this principle scientifically,
and ignoring or not taking advantage of it will be to your detriment.
After, all,
who wants to waste their time learning a word, only to forget it soon afterward?
And believe me, I’ve had this experience more than I care to remember. It seems
like I’ve looked up some words a hundred times in the dictionary, and still I don’t
remember them-IF I DON’T APPLY THIS PRINCIPLE!
Don’t be afraid to practice what you learn with other people. And this is a highly
effective way to make use of timed interval repetition. But what if you’re worried
about making mistakes? We all make them as part of the natural learning process.
The mistakes you make can actually help you to remember. For example, one student
was trying to learn the expression, “Do you have children? In Russian you literally
say, ‘by you there are children?’ But the word ‘there are’- есть in Russian- is
the same as ‘to eat’. So this student thought he was saying, “Do you EAT children?”
We all laughed about this, and now we all remember that expression!
I also highly recommend

The next accelerated learning method is all about useful words rather than useless words.
Many people work very hard to learn Russian words and waste much time. The problem
is they often pick the wrong and rarely used Russian words. Instead, learn to focus
on those basic Russian words used all the time. Then learning Russian becomes fun, automatic
and natural. Therefore, pay close attention to this next part because it is very important!
**Word Frequency
The words in this vocabulary are frequently used and useful words, including most
of the words in the famous vocabulary from C. K. Ogden's Basic English. Ogden was
a linguist who devised a language of only 850 words adequate to say everything necessary
for everyday purposes. Ogden said that it would take seven years to learn English,
but only seven weeks for Basic English. The Basic English vocabulary is excellent
for students who want a useful vocabulary in a very short time. The Russian equivalents
to the majority of the words in ‘Basic English’ are included in this vocabulary
program, which makes it of immense value to you, especially when combined with the
other rapid learning methods
As a proof of the idea that this vocabulary was sufficient for ordinary communication,
the Bible was translated into ‘Basic English’, with only an additional short list
of specialized words! If the Bible can be translated with only a few hundred words,
then that is ample enough for ordinary conversation. What that means for you, is
that you can have a functioning vocabulary with a minimum of effort and wasted time.
In this vocabulary are approximately 1,000 words. Including: The Alphabet, Pronunciation,
The 100 most common words, Animals, Colors, Days & Months, Numbers, The Body,
Persons, Time, Food, School, Weather, Clothing, The Home, Buildings & Materials,
Qualities, Feelings, etc. The methods used
will help you to learn and to remember words quickly.
Besides using the program on a personal computer, the slides can be viewed on a
projector in a classroom. With this program, you don’t just see the words, you hear
the words pronounced, which also is important for memory!
Remember, the words in this program are useful words, not useless words!
For example:
The word ‘kitten’ can be substituted for quite nicely with the words ‘young’ and
‘cat’, which are both words in the vocabulary. For more information on this fascinating
topic, search the internet under ‘Ogden’s Basic English.’ Here is one interesting
link:
ogden.basic-english.org/booksum1.html
But to further enhance it’s value to you, this program also includes: The 100 words
that are most frequently used in English, and their Russian equivalents. They make
up 50% of all conversations!
That means that for any conversation, anywhere, anytime, about anything; half the
words would probably be from these 100 words! For example, here are the first
nine and their Russian equivalents:

I am sure you noticed that the words in the right column above are phonetics. The
Russian alphabet is actually in Cyrillic and Cyrillic letters are what you will
be taught to read in this Rapid Russian Vocabulary system. Don’t feel intimidated…
letters in the Cyrillic alphabet, although not looking anything like English,
are simple to learn when you do so in the correct way! The short demo you can link
to below, gives an example of how easy it is to learn the alphabet in just a few short sessions.

Have you already spent hundreds of dollars on Russian textbooks, tapes, videos,
etc., but still can’t converse in Russian? I did! And I have many friends with the
same experience. Careful application of the methods in this program will give you
a working vocabulary in less time, and with less effort than you would have thought
possible.
I guarantee it with a "no questions asked", 100% money back guarantee. And you will
be buying this program through Amazon.com, which is a highly respected internet
name you can trust...
What do you have to lose? Excuse me, you could actually lose something! You could
lose hundreds of hours of boring, mind-numbing rote repetition of vocabulary words
that you may rarely use!
The last method discussed here is:
**Flashcard Method with Timed Interval Repetition
This method will help you to remember
words faster. First, reviewing a small group of words (10 or so), several times
will impress them on your memory. The first time through, listen to the word pronunciation
and repeat. If there is a memory aid, use that. Do this a second time. The third
time through, try to say the word without hearing or seeing the Russian first. Even
flashing through the slides at one per second is enough to reinforce your memory.
Then, extremely important is reviewing the words at the correct time (as discussed
in the section above about timed interval repetition). Each time the word is reviewed,
you remember it roughly twice as long. So review new vocabulary words several times
in the first session until you feel that you remember them. Then review them again
that evening, then the next morning. Double the length of time between each review
to daily, then in two days, then in four days, etc. This need not take a lot of
time! All it takes is one second or less to reinforce the word in your memory.
Now you’ve seen how the methods in this program will multiply your results for the
valuable time you spend investing in a new language.
Of course, you could memorize vocabulary by rote repetition. If you repeat a word
over and over enough times, ultimately you can remember. But how many times? And
how long will you remember? These methods will significantly and seriously accelerate
the speed and ease at which you can learn and remember important words.
This will be one of the most valuable investments you will make in your exciting
new adventure with the Russian language!
There are many excellent ways you can learn the Russian alphabet, pronunciation,
and vocabulary. For example, a university is a time-tested method. However, we’re
talking about a very large investment in money and time. The $29.95 introductory
price for this program probably doesn’t come close to what you will pay. However,
dollar-for-dollar and minute-for-minute, you will be hard-pressed to find anything
even approaching what you will find in this program.

Two close friends of mine, after attending three semesters of a Russian language
class at a highly respected university in California, were very disappointed. They
expected to be semi-fluent after that, but they found that their progress was agonizingly
slow. The "chalk and talk" method of teaching a language has got to be one of the
slowest ways you can learn a language. It’s not the way children naturally learn,
and it doesn’t take advantage of the way your brain functions.
If you’re willing to spend even a few dollars on this new chapter in your life,
this will be one of the wisest investments you will make.
