The overall feedback was constructively and positively given according to the feedback received from the participants. The dictionary will be a source and a useful learning tool for medical students regardless of all proposed suggestions given by stu-dents. Wishes and recommendations allowed us to formulate plans for the future, that is, improving the dictionary by adding transcriptions and illustrations.

Development of Russian-Chinese relations has led to extensive learning of Chinese in Russian schools and universities. Knowledge of Chinese provides students with opportunities for professional and personal growth, so they start learning this language in order to seize such opportunities. However, due to lack of proper preparation, not all students succeed in this course. This article is devoted to provide ways of helping students to study Chinese and stay motivated to do so. The choice of high school students as the subjects of the research is explained by the foreign language learning skills, which they had developed while having learned English or other European languages. A step-by-step familiarization with Chinese phonetics and its writing system shall result in making the learning process less problematic in the long run, as well as keeping students interested in learning such language.
