Do you want to have strong abdominal muscles? In today’s dictation we offer you two types of exercices doing which you can improve your physical form and, of course, learn Russian!
Dictations intend to improve your listening and writing skills: listen to the audio, try to recognize the text by ear and to write it down. As usual, the audio recording is read at three different speeds: normal, slow and adapted (slower than normal).
The transcription with translation is hidden under the button below.
