“Our textbooks gave us motivation to create the Journey Around the Schools of the World series, so that Russian-speaking children living abroad had an opportunity to learn Russian culture comparing it to the culture of the country they live in. Russian language teachers from Germany, France, Hungary, Turkey, Bulgaria and other countries supported us with a great interest,” Elena Geddis noted.
The manual is published as a pilot edition. It will be distributed to supplementary language schools free.
