Resource: Russian Cartoons

All the Ruslan Russian 1 video cartoons (“Better than the Simpsons!”) are now free online. There are 50 minutes of high quality cartoons with and without subtitles in Russian, in 10 lessons from beginner to A1 level, with illustrated dialogues, texts, poems and songs for learners and with about a dozen different voices, including artists from the Rossica Choir of Saint Petersburg. The cartoons were produced by Alexander Menshikov in Kaliningrad and follow the storyline of the Ruslan Russian 1 course. They will be useful both for learners working individually and for teachers in the classroom, and particularly useful for those teachers who want to inject some fun into their lessons!
