popmom Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 My daughter has been using Duolingo to learn Russian for about a year now. She would like to study it formally for high school credit if possible. I cannot seem to find any resources other than Rosetta Stone for learning Russian. Anyone have any recommendations for a curriculum or textbook? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinaPagnato Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Have you looked into online schools? The Potter's School has many foreign language offerings. Of course, the school year has already started, so she'd need to wait until next fall, or do a summer session, possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 8FilltheHeart's daughter works with Julia Denne at By the Onion Sea. If you are interested in online, I'd look into her classes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmom Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Thanks for the options! I'll look into these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 CLRC also offers live classes. (This semester is well underway, however.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 My Dd loves taking Russian from Mrs. Denne. She does not take classes, but has private Skype tutoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) I don't know of any, but you might send an email to the Russian studies department at Texas Tech University and ask for any suggestions they can make. They are one of the best university level Russian language schools in the USA. ETA: If your DD should go on to become extremely proficient in the Russian language, that will "open doors" for her, if she is interested in a career in the military or the intelligence community...

housemouse Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Russian step by step-- either basic edition on your own or school edition. You can call them and discuss differences between two versions but from what I heard and what I have seen from actual textbooks, school edition is much more through than the basic edition. Also school edition counts as 1 high school credit for each book covered. And you don't have to get all the bells and whistles. This is the link for the School Edition: http://russianstepbystepschooledition.com/ This is the link for basic edition: http://russianstepbystep.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlsdMama Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Have you checked your local CCs and your DE options? My dd took Russian in Oregon at a CC and then here at a semi-local college via the dual enrolled option (code for the school district covered the costs.)
