LANGUAGE PRACTICE. A STORY AT A TIME.
The books you love. The language you’re learning.
Listen to a story, sentence by sentence: first in the language you’re learning, then in translation, then once more in the original. Keep the story going wherever your day takes you.
A little further down the rabbit-hole

Read the sample
First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to,
Сначала она попыталась посмотреть вниз и разглядеть, куда же она падает,
but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the sides of the well,
но там было слишком темно, ничего нельзя было разглядеть; тогда она взглянула на стенки колодца,
and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves;
и заметила, что они были уставлены шкафчиками и книжными полками;
here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs.
то тут, то там она видела карты и картины, висящие на крючках.
