555 Russian Verbs in 110 Short Stories
Master the 555 most useful Russian verbs through 110 connected short stories set in Sosnovka, a small town on the Volga. Each verb appears in a real scene — with its aspect pair and the key forms (я · ты · они́ · past) laid out beside the story — and built-in spaced repetition brings it back at expanding intervals, in a new form each time, so it sticks. With facing-page Russian–English translation, stress marked on every word, and a free audio companion, this is everything you need to finally make Russian verbs feel natural.
