Customer Reviews

learning russian

this is an excellent resource. We use it for homeschooling. it provides worksheet type papers to document your progress. we fill it out only aftr mastery of section on reg. paper. WE combined this with some fun word picture book, early russian reader, a russian-english dictionary, library audio and a tutor once-a-week and less as we progress accurately.

Learning the Russian language

I have not reviewed a lot of publications on learning the Russian language, but I thought this one was very helpful. It provided pronunciations, the Cyrillic alphabet, and repetitive information to learn the most commonly used words in Russian. I highly recommend it!

Good supplemental study tool.

For anyone who wants to begin learning Russian, I wouldn't recommend relying on this book exclusively - you've got to have some language tapes or other means of aural study - but it makes for a nice compliment to more traditional texts. Of course, the "10 minutes a day" concept is silly. However, when study time comes around,I find myself turning to this book more than any other, especially when I only have a little time to study or when I've had a particularly draining day and don't feel up to more serious endeavors. The stickers are great, and I've found the pronunciations to be pretty accurate. It is a definite flaw that they don't show you the stressed vowels, but the individual pronunciations do account for the differences between stressed and unstressed vowels. On its own, this book isn't going to teach you Russian, but it is a fun and accessible supplemental study tool.

EXCELLENT FOR VISUAL LEARNERS!

I AM A VERY VISUAL LEARNER AND THIS BOOK WAS PERFECT FOR ME. IT INCLUDES NOTECARDS, PICTURES, FLASHCARDS, AND STICKERS. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT ENTIRELY JUEVENILE. I ONLY WISH THAT IT INCLUDED MORE CONVERSATIONAL RUSSIAN AND LESS "TOURIST RUSSIAN" OVERALL IT WAS GREAT!
