Hi James
I am back in the office on Friday 3rd, but in the meantime, why did you 
leave my name and Natalya Veshnyeva's name off this release? Also Vassily's.

John

> KENSINGTON, MD, JUNE 09, 2009:
>
> Russia Online, Inc. is proud to announce the first North American edition 
> of Ruslan Russian 1 textbook and workbook (beginner's level). The Ruslan 
> series, first published in the UK, is the leading textbook for the 
> communicative approach to teaching Russian in the United Kingdom. Ruslan 
> has been published in translation in Germany, France, the Netherlands and 
> Sweden. Previously available only as an import, this course has been 
> revised and edited to meet North American academic standards. Russia 
> Online collaborated with the English author and a contributor here in 
> Washington DC to make sure the course book is interesting and relevant to 
> beginner students of Russian in the United States and Canada. To date, the 
> Ruslan course has been used with great success in high schools, 
> universities and with the US Government.
>
> Ruslan 1 was created by teachers in the UK with years of experience 
> teaching both adults and young people. The course maximizes the enjoyment 
> of learning a new language, while giving a thorough grammatical and 
> structural introduction in a communicative context. The course can be used 
> by people learning in groups with a teacher, and there are a large number 
> of group activities and language games. The series is also useful to 
> self-learners, especially when used with the Russian 1 Workbook, or the 
> Ruslan 1 interactive CDROM. The approach is practical and communicative, 
> with up-to-date, useful language, thoroughly vetted by Russian teachers 
> living in Russia, and by Russian Language instructors at the US Agency for 
> International Development (USAID), the US Department of Energy (DOE) and 
> the US Department of Commerce (DOC).
>
> Currently the Ruslan Russian 1 communicative Russian course and the 
> supplementary Workbook (both include audio CDs with dialogs) are 
> available.  Work has begun on preparing the second level textbook and 
> workbook.
