‘A new way to learn Russian Grammar’
Bootstrap Russian Grammar is a new way to learn Russian grammar. Starting from the beginning, the idea is progress in small self-contained steps (called ‘topics’). Each topic builds on the last, by incrementally adding new grammatical patterns, new vocabulary and lots of useful examples.
In total there are 200 grammar topics and over 3000 examples phrases.
Each topic includes a thorough explanation of the grammar and then lots of examples that illustrate the grammar. Each example includes an English translation, as well as notes highlighting how each example illustrates that topic's grammar, as well as the meanings of new Russian words.
The companion mobile application is now available also called "Bootstrap Russian Grammar". The app contains all the content contained in this book - including 200 grammar topics and over 3000 example phrases. And in additional, there is high quality Russian native-speaker audio for every example. More details here.
“Not your typical Russian grammar app”
‘At the time of writing I have 2060 consecutive days on Duolingo. During that time I’ve appreciated Duo for the vocabulary but found it very difficult to learn grammar. I’ve got a couple of grammar books (that I don’t have the time to properly study) and I’ve tried several grammar apps (that are characteristically poorly written, poorly explained and generally very unhelpful). I’ve learned more Russian grammar from this app in three days than I have in the past five years. If you’re serious about understanding Russian, this is the best £25 you’ll spend.’

“I think it is fantastic!”
‘I recently purchased a copy of your Bootstrap Russian Grammar and just want to let you know that I think it is fantastic! I have actually been studying the language for years but have only recently had time to spend a lot of time on it and your book is invaluable. The rules are stated concisely and clearly and the examples are a marvellous help. Comparative Adjectives, for example, have always been a bit of a minefield but with the aid of your book I am finally getting to grips with them. I could go on with other examples but won't waste your time. Suffice to say I am delighted with my purchase and thank you very much to you and your team. I can't attach a gold star but the thought is there!’
