This book is a teaching manual for learning Russian as a foreign language and is aimed at Greek-speaking students and teachers who teach it. It is the first book in an original series that we hope will effectively help its readers at all levels of learning this difficult but useful language. Specifically, it will assist in all ways possible in the written and oral communication of those who use it. This manual and the one that will follow, "Russian for Greeks - B, Maybe I Can Too," are aimed at beginners and essentially constitute the teaching material for the first year of study in the four-year study cycle, which is usually called "Russian - A" and "Russian - B" in university programs. The effectiveness of this method is based on its laboratory format and is successfully applied in the teaching of the Russian language at the University of Western Macedonia (Florina).
