Those who do not speak Russian can join the participants of Total Dictation action this year, TASS reports. For the first time, the international educational action will be held not only in Russian, but also in English. The English version of the text was written by Dmitry Glukhovsky - the author of "Total Dictation - 2021" in Russian.
Dictation in English can be written on more than 50 sites in eighteen cities - in Astrakhan, Bryansk, Vladivostok, Vladimir, Yekaterinburg, Irkutsk, Kursk, Moscow, Novosibirsk, Penza, Samara, St. Petersburg, Sevastopol, Surgut, Syktyvkar, Tambov , Ufa and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
Most English-speaking sites will open in the capital of the country. The text will be read, in particular, by actor Arkady Dzhem, TV presenter Alexander Anatolyevich, blogger Igor Sivov, Ambassador of Malta to Russia Pierre Clive Ajus.
The action in English starts an hour and a half after the start of the Russian-language dictation. The organizers promised that they would not downgrade marks for punctuation errors when checking - only for spelling.
The Total Dictation action should take place on April 10, 2021. More than 270,000 people joined the action last year. Dictation sites operated in 45 countries, and the text was written online in 109 states. The capital of the action was St. Petersburg. It was from there that Andrei Gelasimov read an excerpt from his text entitled Per Aspera. Yakutsk became the capital of the "Total Dictation" in 2021.
