Easy Russian Practice Ep. 76: Social Support and Retirement

Hello. My name is Lidia. You’re listening to a podcast in Russian — slow, simple, and real. If you’re just beginning to learn Russian, or if you’ve already started but miss regular practice … this podcast can be your quiet space to return to the language. Each episode is like a small training: listen and repeat. I’m a teacher of Russian as a foreign language. And I’ve created this podcast for those who want to practice regularly, to feel more confident, to speak more clearly and grow naturally. Welcome! Let’s begin. 🔵 Монолог 1 Моя бабушка — пенсионерка. Её зовут Валентина Ивановна. Ей шестьдесят восемь лет. Она не работает. Она получает пенсию. Она живёт одна, но ей помогают соседи и друзья. My grandmother is a pensioner. Her name is Valentina Ivanovna. She is sixty-eight years old. She doesn’t work. She gets a pension. She lives alone, but her neighbors and friends help her. 🔵 Монолог 2 Мой дедушка раньше работал врачом. Сейчас он на пенсии. Он получает пенсию каждый месяц. Он говорит, что раньше пенсия была меньше. Сейчас он живёт спокойно, читает и слушает музыку. My grandfather used to work as a doctor. Now he’s retired. He gets a pension every month. He says pensions used to be lower. Now he lives calmly, reads, and listens to music. 🔵 Монолог 3 В нашей стране есть социальная помощь. Пенсионеры получают деньги от государства. Некоторые пожилые люди работают, потому что пенсия маленькая. Им нужна поддержка. In our country there is social support. Pensioners get money from the state. Some elderly people work because their pension is small. They need support. 🔵 Монолог 4 У нас в доме живёт пожилая женщина. Она одна. Мы помогаем ей: приносим продукты, лекарства. У неё есть пенсия, но она маленькая. Ей трудно. Но она очень добрая и всегда улыбается. There’s an elderly woman living in our building. She’s alone. We help her: bring groceries and medicine. She has a pension, but it’s small. It’s hard for her. But she is very kind and always smiles. 🔵 Монолог 5 Я думаю, что социальная защита — это важно. Люди должны получать помощь, если они не работают или уже старые. Пенсия нужна всем: и врачам, и учителям, и рабочим. I think social protection is important. People should get help if they don’t work or are already old. Everyone needs a pension: doctors, teachers, and workers. Thanks for listening to Easy Russian Practice. See you soon!
