At this Russian lesson I read an interesting and refined Russian poem written by very famous Russian poet and writer Alexander Pushkin. It is named "Сказка о царе Салтане" (автор - Александр Сергеевич Пушкин). You say "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" in English.

Thanks to Philip for the idea of this Russian lesson! Because to be honest I gave up reading Russian poetry because I thought it is too difficult and maybe boring but I understood that you, my students, actually like this topic so I will continue making videos about this...

This poem sounds like music to my ears! So beautiful, melodic, sophisticated and refined... Every Russian person knows this tale and Russian kids used to learn it by heart in school.

I believe it is a really good way to improve your Russian reading and listening skills and also it is a lovely Russian pronunciation practice.
Just listen to how I read this Russian poem (I read slowly as a Russian tutor) and try to read aloud together with me and copy my Russian pronunciation.

And of course after I read the poem I explain all the Russian phonetic laws and different facts related to Russian language.

Your Russian teacher,
Veronika
