Announcement: Russian Language Tool
English-speaking audiences have often turned to the Russia Today HQ with a proposal that a programme was created to help those who learn Russian. At the moment Russia Today executives are preparing a new teaching programme called A Little Bit of Russian, for broadcasting. Every news bulletin will have Russia Today reporters unobtrusively telling the audience about the main notions in the Russian language, which could help one quickly get adapted in the Russian-language environment.
Our channel will be happy to provide you with a set of DVDs with 28 programmes of our A Little Bit of Russian course, which could make a nice supplement to the package of services to your customers (which could make a perfect supplement to the teaching aids set normally used for teaching). We would like to point out that A Little Bit of Russian carries only news and no commercial advertising.
We are ready to answer your questions, should you have any, consider co-operation terms, and discuss technicalities at any time convenient for you.
In the past three years of its broadcasting, Russia Today has established good reputation in the world of television. Since it has been so far the only English-language channel in Russia, it remains the only reliable source of information about all the events in Russia and post-Soviet countries for many people. A public survey carried out in 2008 by Nielsen Media Research among the subscribers of the major US cable TV channel, Time Warner Cable, showed that the monthly audience of Russia Today among the subscribers and those who know about Russia Today’s broadcasts exceeded the audience of BBC America by 11 %.
With our deep respect,
