The little Russian beginners are particularly drawn to the lovable mascot, Mishka. He serves as a constant mediator between cultures and provides learning tips. The characters in the textbook remain the same from lesson to lesson, which fosters identification and interest in the events from the very beginning. Konetschno! offers genuine reading experiences from the start with longer texts and dialogues that captivate young learners. Additionally, at the end of each lesson, there is an optional reading section with a variety of exercises and strategies. Preparation for the TRKI exam takes place in both the student book and the workbook, with each student volume including two optional training units and solutions for self-assessment in the appendix.
