Урок один Okay, my new mini-sprint-challenge for the rest of this months is to go through the first 10 lessons of my Russian study book, which will basically cover level A1. Each lesson finishes with a little translation task, so it would be great if you could help me spotting the mistakes. Thanks! Урок один Это госпоша Вернер. Он преподаватель. Он немец.

Well, this might explain, why so many students drop out of the course after only a few lessons. What I don't like about these books as well is, that they only introduce you to jobs like captain, geologist, stewardess, engineer, manager...I don't know about you, but those are not really professions I need to talk about on a daily basis :)

Oh absolutely! The other thing that made me surprised is the word "преподаватель" that they put into the first lesson. If a were a person starting to learn russian, that word (its length) would freak me out :)

Thank you very much, that is good to know. The book acutally says кто вы, it is good to know, that it is not really polite, before getting into action :) Did you notice, how incorrect these study books often are?
