RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Lessons. Books. Materials for lessons
Our concept is a harmonious combination of teaching the language as a system and developing speaking skills. Our study materials are modern and stylish. Our goal is for you to enjoy the learning process, feel inspired, and achieve your goals.
Our method
Our Mozi House method textbooks are written with six key ideas in mind:

  1. The communicative approach
  2. Visual aids
  3. Accessibility
  4. Clarity
  5. The four core language skills
  6. Accounting for students' native language

Our main objective was to create textbooks that help learners acquire phrases commonly used by native speakers in everyday conversation. We've selected phrases and dialogues that offer maximum practical value.

Our textbooks teach you how to express joy, surprise, skepticism, discontent, and much more. They also include idioms and proverbs that enhance understanding of native speakers and provide insight into the Russian mentality.

We hope the design of our books will not only serve as a visual aid for clarity in the classroom, but also bring aesthetic pleasure to anyone who interacts with them.


Four Language Skills
The exercises have been selected to ensure a harmonious development of all types of language skills.
Speaking
Our books contain exercises that get students speaking: role plays, board games and tasks in which they are required to tell or discuss something. These types of exercises help students to develop their speech.
Listening
All our books have downloadable audio recordings that are made by native speakers. Exercises with audio tracks help students to improve their listening skills and their pronunciation too.
Reading
We try to create interesting texts that match perfectly with the language level of our students, and we also introduce aspects of Russian culture via those texts.
Writing
Writing tasks are predominantly in the workbooks because we strongly believe that lesson time should be spent in the most productive way—speaking as much Russian as possible!
