Based on the Speech Plasma Method, the book is designed to teach students of Russian to use the language at elementary level. This volume is ideal for the students who can speak Russian a little, at elementary level, but lack fluency, which makes them feel confused and frustrated. The book is aimed at the development of the learner's fluency in speech through fluency practice drills. The volume contains 40 dialogues and 120 fluency practice drills. Each dialogue is followed by three stories: two of them are told by the participants of the dialogue and the third one is a summary of the conversation narrated by a third person. The stories are told in simple, everyday colloquial style, and for easy reference the English text is printed alongside.
