Preserving Russian Language is the best gift to children and grandchildren of the Russian speaking emigrants, for their future life and career. It will also keep the generation link. English has already become a native language for them, and it`s useless to educate them with the student books for the Russian speaking children in the Russia native language environment. The method RSL (Russian as a Foreign Language), which has been successfully used for the foreign academia students in Russia for more than 40 years, is now adapted for children. Using the RSL, children will acquire efficient speaking, writing, and fluent reading skills. They won`t need to memorize complicated rules and rare or outdated words. These books have been successfully used at schools, by private teachers and parents in the U.S., Israel, Japan, and many European countries.

The American Association for Russian Language, Culture and Education (AARCE) is publishing a government-sponsored official reference book of organizations representing Russian education and culture.
