Ideas and argument: vocabulary drill

Sixteen questions on the words from the ideas and argument guide: recall the Russian word, recognise it by ear, use it in a sentence with the right ending, and say what it means. Each new round reshuffles the words and the wrong options, and every answer you miss is saved on this device in a review list. Every answer plays aloud, and every sentence comes with a word-by-word gloss.

Three ways of knowing a word: producing it, hearing it, and fitting it into a sentence.
1. Recall 2. Hear 3. Use 4. Meaning Review 0 0 / 16

1. Recall: which word means…?

Read the English, pick the Russian word. You hear the correct word after you choose.

“concept”
“cause”
“consequence”
“however”

2. Hear: what does it mean?

Press play and listen without reading. The Russian word appears only once you have answered.

3. Use: complete the sentence

All three options are the same word; only the ending changes. Pick the form the sentence needs. The note explains which case (the ending that shows a word’s role) it takes and why.

Кли́мат влия́ет _____ урожа́й. The climate affects the harvest.
Э́то привело́ к _____ This led to a crisis.
Э́то явля́ется гла́вной _____ This is the main problem.
Рейс отмени́ли _____ тума́на. The flight was cancelled because of fog.

4. Meaning: what does it mean?

Now the other way round: read the Russian word and pick its English meaning.
