Modern British IPA

Pronunciation can be added to important phrases so students know what to listen for and how to practise aloud.

Examples from context

The example sentence comes from the dialogue or lesson, so the phrase is connected to a real situation.

Active recall

See the Russian prompt or situation first, then try to retrieve the English phrase before revealing it.
