| Becky: Welcome to 3-Minute Russian Season 1, Lesson 1 - Self Introduction. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to introduce yourself in Russian. |
| Body |
| Becky: Here's the informal way to say 'Hi I'm Katya.' in Russian. |
| Elena: [Normal] Привет, я Катя.(Privet, ya Katya.) |
| Becky: First is a word meaning 'Hi' |
| Elena: [Normal] привет [Slow] привет (privet) |

| Becky: Listen again to the informal phrase meaning 'Hi I'm Katya.' |
| Elena: [Slow] Привет, я Катя. [Normal] Привет, я Катя. |
| Becky: Ok, now let's see the formal way to say 'Hello, my name is Katya.' |
| Elena: [Normal] Здравствуйте, меня зовут Катя. (Zdrastvuyte, menya zavut Katya.) |
| Becky: First is a word meaning 'Hello' |
| Elena: [Normal] здравствуйте [Slow] здравствуйте (zdrastvuyte) |
| Becky: Next is the word meaning 'me' |
| Elena: [Normal] меня [Slow] меня(menya) |

| Elena: [Normal] зовут [Slow] зовут(zavut) |
| Becky: Last is the person’s name, in this case 'Katya' |
| Elena: [Normal] Катя [Slow] Катя(Katya) |
| Becky: Listen again to the formal phrase meaning 'Hello, my name is Katya.' |
| Elena: [Slow] Здравствуйте, меня зовут Катя. [Normal] Здравствуйте, меня зовут Катя. |
| Becky: Next up is the formal way to say 'Nice to meet you.' |
| Elena: [Normal] Приятно с Вами познакомиться.(Priyatna s vami paznakomitsa.) |
| Becky: First is a word meaning 'nice' |
| Elena: [Normal] приятно [Slow] приятно(priyatna) |
| Becky: Next is the word meaning 'with' |
| Elena: [Normal] с [Slow] с(s) |
| Becky: Next is the word meaning 'you' |

| Becky: Listen again to the formal phrase meaning 'Nice to meet you.' |
| Elena: [Slow] Приятно с Вами познакомиться. [Normal] Приятно с Вами познакомиться. |

| Elena: [Slow] Очень приятно. [Normal] Очень приятно. |
| Cultural Insight |
| Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Elena: The typical greeting between men is a firm handshake while saying "Hello". Men can also shake hands with women, but it shouldn’t be strong. Women typically greet each other by just giving the appropriate greeting. Friends can greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. While you’re shaking hands, it is better to remove your gloves. |
Outro |

| Becky: And that’s all for this lesson. Don’t forget to check out the lesson notes, and we’ll see you in the next lesson! |
| Elena: Пока. |

Hello Jason,
thank you for your feedback!
The italic type is used in the lesson focus, that's why some words may look little different. I've asked our team to fix it. 😇
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions!

Hello, I'm confused here! most of the words printed in the Lesson Focus don't right! They don't look anything like what's printed in the Dialog section, or the Word List! What am I missing?

HELLO!
I just started to take the lessons. How can I interact with you so you can check my pronunciation? Also, if you can guide me where to start from the very beginning. I studied a little bit Russian before, so I want to catch up.
Thank you
