A great tool to help you learn Russian

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago

This is not a complete course in Russian, but it is an excellent supplement to your Russian study. It is filled with pictures that illustrate principles of grammar. It's expensive, but I would say it is well worth the price. Many times a picture in this book allowed me to instantly understand a difficult point, when it would have taken me much longer to try to figure out a written or verbal explanation.

Russian Student's Best Friend

If there's anything about Russian Grammer you don't understand or think you might not grasp fully, this book is perfect. It explains everything very clearly and thoroughly, and for those of us who are visual learners, with seperate pictures for each example (of which there are plenty). The text is divided according to parts of speech with extensive sub-topics and extra attention to the more difficult aspects (pun intended) of Russian grammer. This book has been an incredibly valuable tool during my study of the Russian language, and I think you'll agree.

Helpful, and Entertaining

When I was in Russia, we scoured the city for copies of this book. It is great for learning basics of Russian grammar. The pictures are easy to understand. The section on prefixed verbs of motion and prepositions were especially helpful. Many of the examples would be helpful for a teacher and could be placed on overheads.

A superb companion to learning and teaching Russian grammar

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago

This book can be used by students (beginner or advanced), and teachers alike. Although written completely in Russian, it is incredibly easy to follow and comprehensive, and covers many aspects of grammar including (but not limited to) the cases, participles, verb tenses, verbs of motion, and prepositions. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about learning or teaching Russian.
