THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE MENTOR
A different kind of website

Description
The Russian Language Mentor (RLM) is a self-paced Language Maintenance and Development Curriculum intended for intermediate to advanced Russian linguists.

The RLM Curriculum currently consists of the following Tools:

  • Reading Comprehension
  • Listening Comprehension
  • Grammar Review
  • Cultural Literacy (written in English)
  • Scientific and Technical Literacy
There are also Crossword Puzzles available for developing vocabulary, a Sharing Internet Resources section, and several "recreational-yet-edifying sites" in the Irregardless Gallery at the Boris and Gleb Tea Room, including collections of linguistic bloopers, palindromes and tongue twisters.

Important Note: Most RLM tools can be used independent of each other; however, it is strongly recommended that students complete the first four modules of Reading Comprehension before beginning Listening Comprehension.

Work continues on the expansion of existing RLM tools and on the development of new tools. If you would like to make suggestions or contribute to the effort, please use the Feedback forms.
