I love how Sherlock Holmes is listed as being the "elementary" level. But of course it is, dear Watson. Thank you for providing such engaging content for our studies!
Привет кристина I opened this Russian Sherlock Holmes book. For the most part I was able to follow your reading. I have to practice my Russian every day if I'm going to succeed. You read very well....clearly. It's very useful!. Спасибо
this is great for shadowing technique since it is very slow, please keep doing that, I am looking forward to buy your new graded books, thanks for the video...
It was really interesting, I could understand very well and I learned three new words " навещали" paid visit, "отчим" step father "ругается" то quarrel. Thanks, Aurelio
Words I have learned - отчим, stepfather; деревня - village; слуга - servant. Several others as well! I love this format. It's a great way to learn new words, review words and phrases I've learned previously, and listen to Russian spoken slowly.
Just finished going through the free graded reader with a fine-toothed comb and I’m amazed and proud that I have achieved this goal, I’ve learned so much! I’m so glad I found your channel and I have literally boosted my Russian beyond what I expected from this graded reader.

This has been a great help for me in getting used to reading the Cyrillic alphabet and I am finally making progress in following it. I have tried a number of other RUclips Russian courses, but I like yours the best, it is perfect for me. Thank you very much!
I'm a beginner who just learned the alphabet and some of the rules of the pronunciation variations of some of the letters. I'm not worrying about how many new words I learn. I just want to sound things out. I dropped the speed to 0.5 and this is a huge help.
This is well worth the investment in time and the effort. There is a pretty good mix of basic and not-so-basic words and expressions. I appreciate the translations after every couple of paragraphs in the downloaded text as well as the slow reading. I guess I need to go through this about a dozen more times!
Thanks, Jay, glad you liked it! I'm sure that after the second time you'll get bored and want to move on to the next book! After all, it doesn'r make sense to learn every single new word you see, just the ones that are most common
Спасибо большое, Кристина! I'm a beginner and this is still above me, but I'm not giving up. Your resources are excellent and, in time, I will be reading and comprehending the materials with no problems. I've purchased a few of your lessons from your store and am really enjoying them.
Thanks for supporting my work! I´m glad to hear you´re enjoying my study materials and hope you´ll soon reach the level where you can benefit from all my resources
@@BoostYourRussian I'm now at a level where I can freely read and comprehend this story and am currently reading 20000 лье под водой. Your resources have immensely helped boost my Russian. 😉 I have a lot of learning materials I switch between, but yours are some of the ones I use most frequently.
I got an email from you this morning and downloaded the book. I am just beginning. Using Duolingo and Babbel. I recognized some words and I am getting better at following along as you read, even if I don't know what the words mean. I live in Dillon, Montana. Thank you so much for this.
Hello Krystyna By the way, my name is also Cristina! I am thrilled that you have embarked in this project. Having taught English, French and Spanish as second languages to many adults for quite a few years I know for a fact that using adapted texts is an excellent learning tool. It does really improve pupils' motivation. So, now that I have decided to learn Russian on my own I do appreciate using "my own medicine" to fulfill my goal. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Hi Cristina! I totally agree, adapted texts is an amazing learning tool. They can significantly increase pupils´ motivation and sense of achievement, especially at the beginning of the language learning journey. Hope you´ll enjoy mine!
@@BoostYourRussian I just looked on Amazon (USA) and I find 3 of your wonderful books. Prices: $809.67, $809.67, and $775.00. Those are the only books available. What's going on? www.amazon.com/Kristina-Malidovskaya/e/B01DR9TY7K You said in the video above that you have readers on Amazon for three dollars.
Muchísimas gracias por tu trabajo; no solo me ayudas con el idioma ruso sino también con el propio inglés. Me encanta la selección de textos y videos, y como los adaptas para que podamos progresar. He mirado un montón de páginas para el estudio del ruso, y sin duda, eres la mejor. Tan excelente que no preciso buscar otra!
O M G... I am Dutch, in Canada since 1983. I read my first English book in 1968 when I was 14... It was... 😃 The Speckled Band!!! I need more vocabulary before reading this in Russian. Soon.❤😃
What a nice surprise it was finding a graded adaptation of this story in russian! I actually found the original PDF-compilation of the Return of Sherlock Holmes in Russian, although I was looking for the PDF-compilation of the Adventures of S.H. which I couldn't find! 😞 I already got C2 German certificate, but to get to that level, I first had to test out C1, which I did mostly by reading and memorizing the vocabulary in both compilations. By the way, this was the first story I read and worked on! 👍🏼 I did the same with japanese. These stories are great to learn, because they're well written and are a well of useful vocabulary, as well. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Oh, so how many languages do you speak? Looks like you´re a real pro at language learning, so it shouldn´t be too difficult to master Russian since you already have a system that works
@@BoostYourRussian Sorry for my belated replay! I didn't noticed the notice alert!😁 My mother tongue is Spanish, but I'm fluent in English, French, Italian, German, and Japanese. And now, I'm starting to take my first baby steps in Russian! 😅 I started it a long time ago, but I had to give it up back then, because things got a bit hectic! But now, I'm full steam ahead. I started working on it last week in November and by now, I know about 205 essential verbs in imperfective and perfective and some of their derivatives, as well as adjective, adverbs, preposition and nouns. The cases seen to be an uphill battle, like in German at first, but it's a battle I'm planning to win! 🤺🤕🤣 I've been following your videos, working on them and having fun with witty scenes! 😂😂😂 Right now, I'm just gathering sufficient knowledge in my brain to later do some Skype (?) Lessons / Conversation with you, if possible.
Thank you. This is a really helpful format. May I ask if you would be willing to consider making an adaptation of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights? It is my favorite novel. I would be willing to pay a special amount for you to do this on a request-basis.
That would be difficult to make because I have never read it! Shame on me, I know it's a extremely famous novel and I should have read it long ago. Thank you for the idea!
I was barely reading but I didnt understand 90% of the story ahaha, it was useful to hear the pronunciation tho, thanks a lot for making this videos. Like the best I've seen so far. I will keep learning with your lessons and some other tools
Excellent ressource. But it would be even better if you read at normal speed a second time. By the way, I bought one of your readers on Amazon. 20000 Leguas de viaje submarino, from Jules Verne. 20000 .....Под водой.
Благодаря вам Кристина, я прочитал книгу по-русски первый раз в моей жизни )) Спасибо большое. Кстати, я не смог найти те книги, которые вы представили в конце этого ролика (Дама с собачкой е.т.д) в Амазоне ..? можете дать мне знать, как их найти?
Очень рада слышать, что этот ридер стал вашей первой книгой на русском! Так держать! Я сейчас обновляю все мои ридеры и записываю к ним аудио, поэтому они временно недоступны. Через пару месяцев их можно будет купить в формате pdf на моем сайте boostyourrussianbooks.com/
Please make more videos on daily communication what we hear on streets , cause it's difficult to understand what are they asking , kidding, using slang or taboo words etc. that will help a foreigner to understand more clearly . It could be film , drama anything , even Russian films or melo dramas are good , but it's hard to understand because of pronunciation and meaning.
I read this story. The language is easy and it's interesting to read but it's also a bit strange, I mean the way the sister was killed, it's unreal and so there are some sentences, I guess. Also in the beginning I didn't really understand about the family story in the past but that's maybe me not being very good when it comes to family relationship ;-)
Объяснить пожалуйста почему предложный и творительный падеж. 1- Она пришла вся в чëрном. (Здесь чëрном это Предложном падеж) 2- Еë лицо было белым (Сдесь белым это Творительный падеж) Спасибо заранее
1. В чем она пришла? В какой одежде? Она пришла в черном одеянии (outdated word for одежда). Предложный. 2. Лицо было каким? Лицо было белым. Творительный.
I was curious what you had on Amazon and found a link for Russian Reader: Pre-Intermediate. The lady with the dog by A. Chekhov (Adapted graded Russian reader, annotated) by Kristina Malidovskaya (2016-05-24) Paperback - January 1, 1711 it was $775 with $3.86 shipping. теперь я действительно боюсь инфляции в США
Excellent story like all of your books. Thank you Kristina. Another awesome thing is about this story is it corresponds to the Russian version of Sherlock Holmes (ruclips.net/video/saVNmNaRIcY/видео.html) . I had tried watching these movies repeatedly with the English subtitles but really could not follow the Russian and could not find Russian subtitles. After reading your story/book I was able to watch without subtitles as I could pick up on a ton of Russian language. I had the same experience with your Tom Sawyer and Hound of the Baskervilles books. Anyone who wants to learn Russian and does not get these books is making a mistake. They are a gateway to watching the movies which really builds confidence.
Q: WHAT NEW WORDS HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM THIS STORY?
The Russian way of saying "pound" - фунт
I wonder why it begins with ф- in Russian instead of п-?
I wonder that too!
@@BoostYourRussian Hi. Because it derives from the German "Pfund", which is pronounced by stressing the consonant "F"
Отчим (stepfather).
Pop no mop mop
