Public figure Gleb Ponomarev has proposed a
straightforward and effective method for learning Kazakh. He published a book
that stands out from ordinary textbooks; instead of presenting rules and
exercises, it explains the language’s features with real-life examples and the author’s
observations. The publication consists of 86 pages and covers 12 key topics
that learners of the Kazakh language frequently encounter, including
pronunciation, specific sounds, cases, and the rules of vowel harmony. The book
is in the public domain, freely available. According to the author, this work
is his contribution to popularizing the language.
«For me, learning Kazakh has been a long and
thorny path. I studied it in school, but the explanations were unclear, so I
learned it on my own, looking for various courses. I know several languages, so
as a linguist, I was able to break down the Kazakh language into building
blocks and convey the rules as clearly as possible. I have enough knowledge,
and I simply decided to share it and support Kazakh citizens in their language
learning. This is my personal civic initiative,» shared Ponomarev, the author
of the book «Kazakh language with Gileke».
