Short Stories
Here you will find a collection of short stories from a variety of Russian writers adapted for an English-speaking learner following the popular Ilya Frank's method.
Each text is broken up into small parts. The adapted paragraphs with inserted literal English translation and brief comments in parenthesis come first. The notes in English are designed to match the original Russian in a way that facilitates understanding while not distracting greatly from the Russian forms. After reading an adapted excerpt and working out the meaning, read the same part without prompts. Then continue your reading.
