Homeschooling Russian

[Alina Israeli]

If he is only 9, make sure you have a native speaker teach him how to  
pronounce Russian words, in other words you son has to a) hear, b)  
imitate, c) be corrected in his pronunciation by a native speaker.  
His ability to imitate perfectly will disappear in a few years, so  
don't delay if you are really into it. No textbook, CD or video could  
replace this.
