In addition to the best team of language teachers ever assembled in history, we provide our teachers, as well as our students, with an unprecedented set of supporting materials that can be utilized in linguistic studies. The materials can and will be easily adapted to any language pair according to your specific needs. All modules are numbered and sorted according to the industry and/or the grammatical points being studied.
Module 01.01 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
Monosyllabic (OneSyllable words) words sorted into groups that share the same vowel sound.
This list of popular words containing only one syllable.
The words are sorted in such a manner that the student only needs to focus on generating the same syllable, which appears only once in each word.
The words containing the "TH" sound have been categorized into two separate lists. The first list includes words that begin with the "TH" sound and contains 99 words, such as this, that, thirst, and many others.
The second list comprises 250 words where the "TH" sound appears in the middle or at the end of the word, such as rhythm, seventh, and pathology."
Module 01.02 (03)(04)(05) - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
This module contains supporting materials for studying English phonics.
The materials contain all possible combinations of syllables as well as consonant sounds, not letters.
The materials are designed so that the student is taught not only combinations of a vowel sound followed by a consonant sound, but the reverse as well.
The sounds are presented using the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), which is used in the standard transcription of English words.
Therefore, the student will acquire the skill to read English words and sentences using the IPA. By doing so, the skill of sounding very close to standard American English can be acquired.
Module 02.01 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
This Excel table continues our exploration of phonics. It contains 4,700 words, incorporating all possible phonetic combinations found in frequently used vocabulary.
These words are then used in short sentences, with links to various resources where students can explore the usage of each word further, and listen to pronunciations on Module 01.02 (03)(04)(05) YouTube and other videohosting platforms.
Module 03.01 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
Similar Sounding Words in English and Russian.
This module features a list of 5,000 words that sound similar in English and Russian. The Excel spreadsheet actually contains two lists: the first comprises 5,000 words, and the second includes 1,200 frequently used words in both languages.
This module offers an excellent method for students to rapidly expand their vocabulary with minimal effort.
The list is also particularly appealing to young students, as teachers can use it to create the impression that Russian and English are not significantly different.
Module 04.01 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
1000 Questions Starting from Short Sentences.
This module addresses the challenge of understanding the grammatical rule that word order must change when forming a question.
The sentences are structured so that short examples are presented first, such as "What is beauty?" "What is truth?" "What worries you?"
Subsequently, the interrogative sentences become progressively longer, such as:
Who was your favorite teacher in school, and what did you like most about him or her?
This approach avoids simultaneously overburdening the student with both a new grammatical rule and increased sentence length.
Because word order remains consistent in interrogative and declarative sentences in many languages, including Russian, many English learners struggle to apply the word order change rule in English when building interrogative sentences and to equire this skill students needs a significant number of hours to fully integrate it into their foreign language use.
Module 05.01 All Phrasal Verbs - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
This module is dedicated to the topic of phrasal verbs.
There are several Excel spreadsheets, each containing a different number of phrasal verbs.
Some of them are translated into Russian and used in the example sentences.
For example, there are lists containing the 50 most frequently used phrasal verbs, the 100 most frequently used, the 200 most frequently used, the 500 most frequently used, and the 5000 most frequently used phrasal verbs.
The list of 5000 phrasal verbs covers more phrasal verbs than native English speakers typically use in their entire lives.
If the English you currently study is used as a communication tool, you might need to study the lists of 100 or 500 phrasal verbs to cover 90% of your communication needs.
If you want to become a professional translator or an English teacher, start with the list containing 5000 phrasal verbs, or start from the list containing 50 phrasal verbs and work your way up to the list containing 5000 phrasal verbs.
Module 06.01 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
Most Frequently Used Words.
This module contains two different lists of most frequently used words. One of them contains 5000 frequently used words in English, and the other one contains 7000.
Also, there is a list of 1500 socalled international words, which sound almost identical in many languages including Russian.
The two lists of most popular words are intertwined because two different methods or word sources were used to determine which word is more popular and which word is less.
Anyway, it makes sense to read out loud the two lists in order to bring your vocabulary up to a level where students will be able to read, listen, and comprehend 90% of the general content.
Keep in mind that we are not talking about professional terms in medicine, law, or chemistry.
The words in this module are your "survival words".
If you don't memorize 70% of them, you will not be able to resolve any more or less serious issues in an English-speaking country.
It is essential to acknowledge that for an average student with very little passion or willpower for hard work, this list of words might be the only foundation for their entire English study.
Therefore, we strongly suggest working on this list by reading out loud the 5000 and 7000 words lists, with translations in your native language, every day for a period of 30 days. Don't skip a single day during this time.
Module 06.02 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
The list of 16,000 Most Frequently Used English Words.
This module contains 16,000 words sorted by usage frequency.
Every English word has all possible translation meanings into Russian; therefore, if students read this list aloud, say 1520 times, within a month, the result in terms of text comprehension will be significant.
If you are not a professional linguist or translator, and if you do not have ambitions to study English to the level of a native speaker, once you have memorized twothirds of these words, including their second and third meanings, you probably won't need to study any more vocabulary, except for vocabulary related to your specific occupation.
Module 07.01 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
English Homophones and Antomyms.
This module contains 1,100 homophones and 1,500 English antonyms. In terms of studying any language, including English, if the issue of homophones and antonyms is not addressed at some point, then students will always make mistakes when translating or communicating in English.
Read out loud these two lists between 10 and 20 times every day, and return back to the studies a month later.
Module 08.01 and 08.02 - $50 or 5000 Russian Rubles for All Modules
English Tenses, 250,000 words of practice.
This module explains all English tenses in Russian, providing examples of usage as well as a visual representation of the tense on a time scale.
The advantage of this module is that there is another, almost identical, module (08.02) that exists here, where the same materials are explained in English.
We address the problem of Russian students being presented with grammar explanations in Russian text, after which there is usually no equivalent explanation of the same grammatical points in English.
If the grammatical point explanation is never taught in English, students will spend a significant amount of time reading texts aloud in Russian, which is counterproductive, because at least half of the time in the class they will spend speaking Russian.
However, if the grammar point is presented only in English, the initial grammatical point comprehension level will be low because the students will be overwhelmed by the large number of tasks while trying to absorb such a difficult part of English as English tenses.
A two-stage study approach will make the whole process much more efficient.
In other words: first understand the grammatical point in Russian, then memorize the rules and example sentences in English.
For an average student, we recommend reading all grammar rules in Russian for 30 consecutive days, and then reading them in English for an additional 60 days.
The best way to study this topic is to memorize all the tense rules, which comprises approximately between 300 and 500 words of rules and betweeb 200 and 300 words of examples for each tense.
Module 08.03
All English Tenses; Short Example Sentences.
This Excel module is designed to enhance your understanding of all English tenses by providing over 500 example sentences for each tense.
The examples are colorcoded to highlight the parts of speech crucial to forming each tense, or so called tense markers; these are colored in purple.
Each of the 500 sentences is concise prepared for every English tense, averaging between 3 and 7 words, so as not to distract from the focus on tense formation.
In total, the module comprises approximately 50,000 words, with roughly 3,500 to 5,500 words dedicated to each tense.
Most English grammar textbooks offer only 10 to 20 example sentences per tense, which we consider insufficient for achieving even mediocre fluency in both understanding and using English tenses.
For those learning English primarily for everyday communication rather than aiming to become interpreters, linguists, or to improve their language skills close to nativelevel speakers, reading this module from start to finish approximately 30 times will be a sufficient step to move on to the next grammar point. This module provides practice with roughly 7,000 sentences.
If you repeat and write these sentences, say, at least 30 times, their sheer volume should be enough to help you avoid sounding uneducated and illiterate.
However, if you are the student who is ambitious enough to take their language skills to the next level after completing this module, you should begin working on our next English tenses module.
Module 08.04 All
English Tenses: From Short to Long Sentences
This Excel module is designed to significantly enhance the skill of building and comprehending English sentences using different tenses. It presents 1,500 sentences for each tense.
These sentences are organized so that, initially, the student encounters shorter sentences—typically 3 to 4 words.
Then, every 20 to 100 sentences, one or two words are added to increase sentence length.
Additionally, the sentences are colorcoded; students can identify in purple which part of the sentences corresponds to each tense, known as a "tense marker."
By progressively increasing the complexity and length of the sentences, we gradually make the task more challenging for the student.
Both students and teachers can progress at their own pace and are not forced to proceed to more complicated sentences if simpler ones are not yet understood.
No other study materials have adopted this approach.
Most either overwhelm students with long sentences from the start or provide overly simple sentence structures, making the exercise less engaging.
By giving students too little or too much to work with, most grammar books end up being inefficient. It is highly recommended that students first read the sentences in Russian rather than in English.
This ensures that the meanings are well understood and reduces the cognitive load when later working on English tenses.
There is no easy or fast way to learn English tenses, and we suggest the following:
When you start, focus only on the most frequently used tenses by average English native speakers, which are:
Present Simple (30%), Past Simple (20%), Future Simple and Present Continuous (20%), and Present Perfect (10%).
Do not move on until you have read these tenses with translation 30 times.
If you need to read the materials more than 30 times to absorb the content, keep reading.
Remember that all people are equal, but students are not. Some students may need to study this grammatical point for 5 years every day to make it work.
Do not assume that you will achieve significant results by reading these materials only 2 times.
You will not! It is better to master only the abovementioned tenses—or, let’s say, only Present Simple and Past Simple—and use them correctly than to attempt all of the tenses while continuing to make mistakes.
These tenses cover between 50% and 75% of all native English speakers' communication needs.
If you make mistakes while speaking any foreign language and no one corrects you, your brain might register these errors as correct.
Do not fall into the common belief that you need to start practicing speaking, even if you make mistakes.
This approach may work at the very beginning, but if the student is not corrected by the teacher or does not work to address the mistakes made, he or she will eventually need to relearn everything.
Alternatively, the student may acquire what is called "Pigeon English" and never sound like an educated individual.
Do not rely on others’ tolerance for your errors.
At the very beginning, we suggest that you copy and paste the Russian sentences into any text-to-speech reader to familiarize yourself with the material.
Then, read the Russian sentences only 2 to 3 times for the underlying tense without skipping, and do not exceed this frequency in a single day.
Copy and paste the English sentences into a text-to-speech reader, and listen to them 2 to 3 times without repeating anything.
Start reading English sentences followed by their Russian translations, ideally early in the morning, until you feel tired.
Some students can only concentrate for 10 minutes before their minds begin to lose focus. If this is you, don’t force yourself to continue; take a break.
Go outside, have a snack, but avoid surfing the internet or chatting with friends.
If your reading skills are low, use IPA transcription or read the sentences after your teacher, or after listening to them with a text-to-speech reader.
If your pronunciation is unclear and you are not confident that you are pronouncing all the words correctly, you need a one-on-one teacher.
If you neglect this, you may have a long journey ahead in your English studies.
At some point, you may realize that your speech is full of mistakes and needs to be revisited.
In essence, you may need to learn another language or dialect to sound correct.
Do not become demoralized by the large number of example sentences in this module.
Move at your own pace.
Out of the 1,500 sentences for each tense, set a goal to study at least 100, or perhaps 500 of them.
We have prepared 1,500 sentences for those who want "to take over the world."
If you have studied our Module 08.03 and half of this module, your English will never be the same, and you will start noticing other people's mistakes immediately.
You will see how hopeless these people are in their pitiful attempts to wrap their heads around such a complicated grammatical point as English tense.
Dedicate between 1 and 6 months solely to English tenses, and do not distract your mind with other competing study materials.
Additionally, writing or typing these sentences on a computer is very helpful for developing your writing skills and works hand in hand with your verbal skills.
Come back to these materials 12 months later. Read everything out loud from the beginnint to the end, perhaps, you won’t have to deal with English tenses in the future at all.
Finally, at the very last table in this module, we placed all the sentences in this module one after the other in the following manner:
Present Simple: I work every day.
Past Simple: I worked yesterday.
Future Simple: I will pay my bills tomorrow and so on.
Altogether, there are about 18,000 sentences, which is approximately 200,000 words. It takes a lot of effort to read these 18,000 sentences, but if you do, even in a year or two, your results will be remarkable. Good luck!
Module 09.01 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
This module contains a glossary of 150,000+ different technical terms, with explanations of each term in Russian and then in English.
This module is not designed to improve your ability to book a hotel in New York City or Hong Kong, but after reading it aloud with translation, let’s say 3 to 5 times, you will be much more advanced in understanding your computer, electronics, electricity, physics, etc.
Taking into consideration how we depend on technology these days, familiarizing yourself with these terms is considered a must.
Module 10.01 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
This is a conversational book covering many everyday topics, targeting students who need a socalled quickfix solution.
There are 38 conversational topics, containing relatively short phrases totaling about 8,000 words.
The conversational topics are: 01 First phrases, 600 Words; 02 Greeting, 200 Words; 03 About Yourself, 200 Words; 04 Pronouns, 40 Words; 05 Colors, 130 Words; 06 Numbers, 100 Words; 07 Fractions, 30 Words; 08 Money, 500 Words; 09 Weight and Size, 200 Words; 10 Times and Dates, 250 Words; 11 Emergencies, 800 Words; 12 Love, 450 Words; 15 Doctor, Health, 500 Words; 16 Food, 100 Words; 18 Shopping, 600 Words; 19 In the City, 100 Words; 20 Weather, 150 Words; 21 Phone Calls, 400 Words; 22 Languages, 150 Words; 23 Airport, 600 Words; 24 Trains, 200 Words; 25 Cruise Ship, 100 Words; 26 School, University, 450 Words; 27 Word, Salary, 350 Words; 28 Everyday Services, 400 Words; 29 Transportation, 300 Words; 30 US Visa, 200 Words; 31 Vacation, Travel, 200 Words; 32 Sports, 300 Words; 33 Hotels, 300 Words; 3 or 4 Feelings, 100 Words; 35 Covid, 50 Words; 36 Covid Text, 12K Words; 37 Weather, 115 Words; 38 Covid19, 3800 Words;
This is excellent training material for students who are planning to travel to an English-speaking country and are interested in refreshing their memory on various possible topics.
It takes about three hours of reading time to read this module aloud, and we recommend reading it for at least 10 consecutive days prior to the trip.
Module 10.02 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
In this module, there are about 3,000 socalled small talk phrases and topicrelated glossaries for everyday situations.
The phrases are easy to remember because they are between three and eight words long.
This material is excellent for preparation before a vacation or business trip to an English-speaking country. It contains about 17,000 words and takes about three to four hours of reading from beginning to end.
Read this material for at least 10 consecutive days aloud, and you will sound much more confident.
Module 11.01 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
English grammar summary.
This module is designed to introduce students to English grammar from a bird's eye view.
In other words, instead of spending weeks or even months studying English articles, tenses, and conditionals, students are provided with a onesentence explanation and limited example sentences for over 180 grammar points.
This summary contains approximately 6,000 words and may take up to two hours to read.
Since almost every grammar point in this summary is likely to be completely new information for the students, we strongly recommend reading this material no fewer than one hundred times.
Keep in mind that students need to memorize up to 180 new rules and definitions, along with many example sentences related to each particular grammar point.
This task is not easy and requires a lot of effort.
This grammar training module will not make you a linguist or a translator, as English grammar consists of more than 3,000 grammar points compared to the 180 included in this module.
However, if you need to use English as a tool for everyday communication and are immersed in an English-speaking environment, such as a college or school, then this material may be all you need in life.
The primary goal of this module is to introduce students to English grammar in general as early as possible in their studies, allowing it to settle in their minds for 2 to 3 years.
After that, they may begin a more indepth study of English grammar points designed for linguists, editors, and translators.
Module 11.02 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
This is a unique English grammar module where every rule, explanation, and example sentence is written in English and translated into Russian.
Students using this module should either be advanced, highly motivated and be prepared to spend a significant amount of time on it.
The volume of rules, explanations, and translated example sentences totals more than 200,000 words.
That is why we strongly believe that in order to absorb this volume of new information, students must listen to sources such as audiobooks, podcasts, or documentaries for at least one hour per day in addition to this material.
Taking and continuing this task during the school year is nearly impossible; therefore, summer or a vacation might be a much better option.
Keep in mind that since listening to supporting audio materials is not a form of recreational activity, it is highly recommended that the text be accompanied by subtitles or closed captioning on the screen.
Otherwise, the student is likely to miss a lot of content.
The biggest advantage of this module is that:
a. All grammar rules and explanations are presented in Russian and English. Therefore, the students will study and understand the materials presented in their native language, and only then will they move to the English version of the same materials.
b. By spending a significant amount of time switching between their native and foreign languages, the students are developing the skills of an interpreter or a translator.
Developing translation skills may come at a cost: the student's resistance to performing the task and a slight delay in the overall acquisition of the foreign language because the student will be reading in their native language at least 50% of the time during the lesson.
This is why, when a student is under time pressure to improve their English skills, switching from the native language to the foreign language during the class should be minimized.
In other words, the teacher may read the Russian materials and ask the student to only read the English part of this module.
The conventional wisdom is that if a person can fluently speak two languages, he or she can easily translate from the native language to the foreign one.
To some degree, this is the case, but translation or interpretation skills need to be fostered, preferably at an early stage in life.
Therefore, in the future, these skills could be monetized as a separate job description or an additional skill to your future profession.
Switching from one language to another every 30 seconds takes a significant amount of cognitive energy.
For this reason, we can expect that the student will likely resent this mode or will get tired much faster.
For some students, it will be so challenging that after 10 minutes of work, the activity must be stopped.
As a teacher, you need to fall back to more comfortable exercises or repeat previous materials.
Finally, going through this module even once is not easy, even for an advanced and highly motivated student.
That is why, for an English teacher, it is preferable to work on this module face to face with the student or, as a parent, to significantly motivate your child to start and finish the module, let's say during the summer break in exchange for a new iPhone, for example.
Module 12.01 - $50 or 5000 Russian Rubles for All Modules
Irregular Verbs Training: This module contains four lists of irregular verbs based on their frequency of usage in everyday communication.
The lists contain 101, 151, 202, and 277 irregular verbs.
All verbs are not listed in alphabetical order as in most textbooks but are bundled together according to the principle of how different forms of the irregular verbs change.
For example, the first group consists of the verbs where all three forms are the same, such as cut, cut, cut or bid, bid, bid.
The second group consists of the verbs where all three forms change according to the principle where the vowel and/or consonant sound changes: drink, drank, drunk or begin, began, begun, or bend, bent, bent, etc.
In other words, every group of verbs has its own pattern; therefore, it is much easier to memorize a significant portion of the verbs.
We also added two additional forms to all three forms, which are usually not on the lists of the official irregular verbs but are used as often as the three forms in English.
These are the third person singular and present participle.
Therefore, the final list of irregular verbs looks like this: drive, drove, driven, drives, and driving.
By studying all five forms of the verbs, the student gets a much better picture of verb formation, especially when considering the third person singular (drives), because this form is used in everyday English as often as the first form.
Therefore, why not include them in the study materials to avoid mistakes in the future?
Almost all English students have difficulties processing the rule of adding the ending "s" to the verb in the third person singular, and acquiring this skill when the irregular verbs are introduced is the perfect time.
Additionally, in the supplementary column, we have included a list of synonyms for all irregular verbs.
By working with these synonyms , students can view a list of regular verbs that can better reflect the actual action than the irregular verbs.
The synonyms are provided with translations and IPA transcriptions, which will expand the students' vocabulary significantly in a relatively short time due to the phenomenon known as immersion in the topic.
This approach will also provide a bird's eye view of grammatical points such as irregular verbs.
Finally, regarding the Russian translation of irregular verbs, we provide more than one synonym to expand students' understanding of possible translations.
Module 12.02
This is another expanded module that targets the grammatical point of irregular verbs.
As in the previous module, 12.01, we presented the irregular verbs not in the classical three forms; instead, we pursued the idea that all five forms of the verbs must be included in the study materials.
These forms are the first, second, and third forms, along with the third person singular and present participle, which in some example sentences may be substituted by the gerund.
In this module, we provided one usage example for each verb form. Therefore, the student can gain an idea of how the sentences are constructed.
The example sentences are painstakingly collected one by one from different texts and were not created by the teachers.
The materials are colorcoded and are supplemented by IPA transcription.
Moreover, each form of the irregular verb has a link to a video clip and other supporting materials in which the underlying verb is used in numerous sentences.
This module contains 12 separate tables, comprising 101, 151, 202, and 277 irregular verbs.
The table with 101 irregular verbs features the most popular verbs, while the table with 277 verbs includes almost all irregular verbs that a native English speaker needs.
Additionally, this module contains a table where sentences with examples are translated into Russian.
The same table is also presented with the English sentences but without the Russian translation.
By first working with the table that includes the Russian translation and then moving to the table without the Russian translation, the student can test their translation skills.
Understanding the meaning of the sentences in your mind and the ability to translate them into your first language are not the same thing; therefore, it is wise to see if the student faces significant challenges in completing such tasks.
If such challenges exist, the student may have difficulties in their first language, which is often surprising news for native speakers.
Almost all native speakers believe that they are experts in their own language, which is almost never the case.
Finally, there is a table where all the example sentences, with IPA and Russian translations, are placed in an order that starts with short example sentences (approximately 3 or 4 words) and progressively presents longer sentences.
By gradually increasing the length of the sentences, the student will not be overwhelmed by linguistic tasks and will undoubtedly move much faster toward the acquisition of this complicated grammatical topic.
If the student has serious issues with acquiring irregular verbs, it is advisable to read all 3,100 translated sentences two or three times in Russian from the table where only threeletter sentences are presented at the beginning.
Then, it makes sense to read only the English sentences without attempting to translate them into Russian.
Only then should the student read the sentences with translation without mentioning that we are studying irregular verbs.
If the student follows this process four to five times and then returns to the actual table where all the irregular verbs are selected based on their sound pattern, the student will perceive the study materials as somewhat familiar.
It is a long, multistage process, but no one ever claimed that the topic of irregular verbs is easy.
Do not plan to significantly improve your usage of irregular verbs in a week or two, even if you work five hours every day.
Your time horizon should be between three to six months, or perhaps even a whole year of daily practice with all the modules. Good luck!
Module 12.03
The first half of this module is almost an exact copy of the previous module (12.02).
The second part consists of example sentences for irregular verbs but does not include IPA transcription or a Russian translation.
This structure is designed to make it convenient to read from beginning to end or to run the entire module using a text-to-speech service (TTS) or a tool like Google Translate, allowing users to listen only to the English version of the content.
Moreover, if there is a need to translate the example sentences into another target language, this can easily be accomplished using Google Translate.
Simply select the 'Documents' option and choose the desired target language.
Google Translate can process Excel files, and an entire column of translated sentences can be matched with the original sentences.
There may be minor discrepancies regarding the accuracy of the translations; however, these are very rare and not significant due to the short length of the sentences.
Module 12.04
These are the irregular verbs training materials.
For every form of the irregular verbs, we provide three example sentences with IPA transcription and Russian translation.
The materials are colorcoded, and all three forms of the irregular verbs in the sentences are numbered 1, 2, and 3.
Additionally, we have decided to add one sentence for each irregular verb, numbered 0, which includes a present participle that is sometimes substituted with a gerund.
Reading the zero example sentences is beneficial but optional.
The materials are available in PDF format, which makes them convenient for handouts in class.
The total number of English words in this module is 10,000, and it takes between three to ten hours to read this module from the beginning to the end.
Module 12.05 This module is an exact replica of the previous module (12.04), but instead of being in PDF format, it is made in Microsoft Word.
This change is made for your convenience in case you decide to edit this module to satisfy your particular linguistic needs.
After editing your module, you can easily convert it into PDF format to make it printer-friendly.
Module 13.01 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
This module contains 88,000 English words translated into Russian and Ukrainian from several word lists, along with IPA transcription.
The list is designed to expand the horizons of any student and help them memorize thousands of new words in a relatively short period of time.
Our memory is often reluctant to memorize specific words that we may need at particular moments.
This means that if we select a list containing 1,000 previously unknown words, read them aloud, and then write or type them on the computer, let’s say 80 times, we will still learn at most 50% of those words.
Instead, if we read a dictionary containing 80,000 words only once, our brain will pick hundreds, perhaps thousands, of words that it believes are important or that look familiar and will remember them for the rest of our lives.
In reality, the words our brains mark as important may not be particularly relevant in the short term.
This happens because our life experiences, associations, similarities to our native language, and previous exposure to certain words we encountered while studying English or other languages at school help our memory process some words quickly while rejecting others.
In other words, our minds will generate numerous "AHA!" moments. By the time we finish reading a large dictionary like this, we may add 2,000 or even 5,000 words.
This means you can potentially expand your passive and even active vocabulary by up to 5,000 words in a month if you read this sizable dictionary for two to three hours every day.
However, the main issue remains that in the short term, we do not really need these words, or at least that is what we think.
Most people, trying to optimize their educational process, reject the idea that reading a dictionary containing 80,000 words is worth the time investment.
To a certain degree, they are correct, as the first 1,000 most frequently used words account for about 80% of everyday communication needs. However, this highly optimized approach will not work as soon as you move to more serious topics, at which point your comprehension level may plummet.
Here is how much you will be able to understand by knowing the 1,000 most frequently used English words and 5,000 frequently used words when communicating on the following topics:
Politics: between 20% and 60%; Economics: between 15% and 50%; Science: between 10% and 40%; Medicine: between 10% and 30%; Consumer Electronics: between 30% and 50%.
To be completely honest, if you are armed with the 5,000 most popular English words, you will likely miss more than half of the content as soon as you move outside of simple greetings like, "Hi, how are you? I am 40 years old and I live in Moscow."
This leads us to the conclusion that if your goal is to process educational or work-related content, you need to study words by the thousands.
Therefore, reading a large number of words from dictionaries is very beneficial, and that is exactly what professional translators do throughout their careers.
Module 13.02 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
This module is essentially a dictionary containing over 50,000 words.
It includes usage examples and explanations in Russian, as well as transcriptions.
There is no sorting based on frequency of usage; however, it is possible to sort the words according to their IPA transcription.
This feature makes it easier to produce correct sounds because the words are grouped according to their phonetic characteristics.
If the student knows a considerable number of words in this dictionary and wants to focus on learning new words, it is easy in Excel to delete from the list any words that have already been memorized and to utilize the word memorization technique known as the Gold List Method.
Each word in the list has a link to supporting materials in the form of reading and listening resources.
Reading this dictionary aloud, even once from A to Z, is a significant assignment that may take an entire summer or even a year to complete.
However, if the student practices this for 3 or 4 consecutive years, it will significantly advance his or her skills compared to others.
Reading dictionaries like novels is not taught or promoted in schools.
While some glossaries may exist for specific topics, we strongly believe that only a comprehensive dictionary can transform an average foreign language learner into a linguist or even an expert in translation. Good luck.
Module 14.01 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
This module contains several glossaries related to different industries, such as oil and gas, information technology (IT), banking, insurance, and management.
In total, there are more than 150,000 words, definitions, and explanations.
It is important to understand that, regardless of the size of a general dictionary, if a student specializes in any industry—whether they plan to work as a translator or for an international company—they need to go well beyond unabridged dictionaries such as Oxford or Webster.
While these and other volumes of dictionaries, which contain more than 1,000 pages of fine print, cover some terminology from every industry, they are not nearly sufficient if the student views themselves as a true professional.
To transfer your educational background—let's say from Russia to New York, London, or Hong Kong—you need to laserfocus on occupationrelated terminology.
If a student does not take this seriously, the consequences of migrating from their home country may include a loss of the professionalism that has accumulated over decades of education and work experience.
It is safe to say that half of the experience and education may easily go up in smoke; it can take years to regain the same level of competency.
There is no doubt that finding a wellpaid job at a large bank in London after spending ten years working as an executive for the Central Bank of Russia is very possible.
However, without specifically targeting industry related terminology, the worker will not start from an equal position; the same salary as a Central Bank executive's compensation; and most likely, they will not break what I would call “the glass ceiling of the language barrier” for years.
Furthermore, if a student relocates from Moscow to Hong Kong, that is one thing; relocating to Chicago is another.
This is because the student must understand the history of the financial markets in these locations, as well as the legal frameworks, social norms, and so on.
This means that, in addition to this particular industry related terminology, individuals looking to relocate must also study the history of the country to which they are moving.
We hope that this explanation, along with the modules we provide, will be very helpful for your future career advancement.
Please read these glossaries if they relate to your career or if you plan to relocate. Good luck.
Module 15.01 - $35 or 3500 Russian Rubles
This module contains 680 tongue twisters, totaling more than 12,000 words, to improve language learners' articulation and speech clarity.
The topic of tongue twisters is underrepresented in English study materials, especially for students who are not aspiring talk show hosts, TV announcers, narrators, or DJs.
However, we believe it is crucial to introduce students to several tongue twisters at an early stage of studying English, both as a second and a first language.
To make this task more achievable, we sorted all 680 tongue twisters, starting with simple two-word twisters and then gradually adding a word after every 20 or 30 twisters.
This approach makes each new set of twisters a little more challenging, but not to the extent that students cannot continue.
We have audio recordings of all these twisters, narrated by both male and female professional Hollywood actors.
Therefore, in theory, an advanced student can work on these twisters independently.
We tried these tongue twisters with several students for about a month. Even without going through all 680, the results are remarkable, not only in the short term but also in the long term.
In other words, any student who masters 100 or 200 tongue twisters will be noticeably better than their peers.
As a teacher, you may purchase the audio recordings of the twisters and allow students to listen first.
Then, you can instruct students to proceed on their own.
Finally, nothing can substitute for tongue twisters in English study.
If an English teacher skips this topic but continues to focus on articulation, pronunciation, and accent, those efforts will be very inefficient.
Only tongue twisters push students to their limits, making everyday speech much less of a challenge than the twisters themselves.
We recommend spending at least 20 hours on this topic, preferably much more for ambitious students or those with speech Impairment, autism, or other developmental issues.
