Glossika Russian Fluency

The Glossika method is very similar to the audiolingual method of teaching. The user first hears an English sentence, then a translation of that sentence into the target language spoken by a native speaker at natural speed. The user is encouraged to repeat the sentence aloud and follow the rhythm of the recording.

The course is designed to be used each day for a short period of time. Each day’s lessons consist of 80% review of the previous lessons and 20% new material. In this way, the new material is gradually internalized over a few days without conscious memorization on the part of the user.

By training full sentences at a time, the learner internalizes sentence structures and soon learns to manipulate the elements of the sentences in order to form new ones. In this way, syntax, morphology, and phonology are trained simultaneously.

This GMS Fluency Series accompanies the GMS recordings and is a supplementary course assisting you on your path to fluency. This course fills in the fluency training that is lacking from other courses. Instead of advancing in the language via grammar, GMS builds up sentences and lets students advance via the full range of expression required to function in the target language.

GMS recordings prepare the student through translation and interpretation to become proficient in speaking and listening.

Glossika Spaced Repetition (GSR) recordings are strongly recommended for those who have trouble remembering the content. Through the hundred days of GSR training, all the text in each of our GMS publications can be mastered with ease.
