English with G. R. Haggard. King Solomon's Mines The text is adapted (without simplifying the original text) according to the method of Ilya Frank: the text is divided into small passages, each of which is repeated twice: first there is an English text with “hints” - with literal Russian interspersed in it translation and lexico-grammatical commentary (that is, adapted), and then the same text, but unadapted, without prompts. Beginners learning English can first read a passage of text with prompts, and then the same passage without prompts. It’s like you’re learning to swim: first you swim with a board, then without a board. Those who improve their English can do the opposite: read the text without prompts, peeking at the prompts as necessary. Memorization of words and expressions occurs due to their repetition, without cramming. In addition, the reader gets used to the logic of the English language and begins to “feel” it. This method relieves you of the stress of the first stage of language acquisition - from a mechanical search for each word in the dictionary and from fruitless guessing what the phrase means, all the words from which you have already found. The manual promotes effective language acquisition and can serve as a supplement to textbooks in grammar or for basic classes. Designed for students, for those learning English on their own, as well as for everyone interested in English culture. Multilingual project by Ilya Frank: www.franklang.ruFrom the editor of fb2. There are two ways to format transcription: UTF-LATIN and ASCII-IPA. To display UTF-LATIN correctly, full Unicode fonts are required, for example, DejaVu or Arial Unicode MS. If for some reason this does not suit you, then use the ASCII-IPA version of the same book (it differs only in transcription encoding). But this is associated with slight difficulties of perception at the initial stage.

In most cases, the translation is accurate and clear, but occasionally there may be incorrect phrasing or individual words left untranslated.
