Easy Russian Phrase Book NEW EDITION: Over 700 Phrases for Everyday Use (Dover Language Guides Russian)

This is a very practical phrase book. This book enables anyone who needs to communicate from English to Russian in an effective way, to do exactly that. The book is very well organized, and covers 700 key phrases that are very relevant. Each item in the Russian language is shown in both the Russian (Cyrillic) and 'phonetic English" forms. I am a "fan" of the Dover Publishing Co. series of language study books. and this phrase book continues that tradition.

Good book for beginners to intermediate Russian language students. I find it quite useful. Glad I bought it. The price was great for the excellent quality & content!

I already have some knowledge to be able to use and pronounce the vocabulary and phrases in this book.If you are thinking about buying this book, educate yourself first in the Russian basics first because this book doesn't come with a CD or a digital file which is my reason for my 1 star deduction.I strongly recommend the guidance of a Russian native teacher or someone else that has a lot of experience acquired that sound native.

new russian/ukraine neighbor (escaped through poland) speaks no english and i speak no russian..until now..we are both learning english/russian using this little books phrases...fun and satisfying communication

This is review for me. I'm going to be teaching someone Russian, so I bought one for her and one for me. It's excellent. It provides the phrases in Russian, English and a transliterated form that makes it easy to figure out how to pronounce everything. (It even shows when to pronounce unaccented vowels differently! Wow!). Highly recommend it.

For someone just diving in, I'd recommend it as an intro. Good phrase selection as far as I have seen; can't really go wrong with this one. If you are intermediate or fluent, probably limited use from this one.

THIS IS A HANDY GUIDE TO USEFUL PHRASES BUT A FEW CAUTIONS: TRANSLATIONS ARE INEXACT, HE USES 'I WANT" TO TRANSLATE I WOULD LIKE', FOR EXAMPLE; AND THE CYRILLIC IN THE KINDLE VERSION IS TINY FONT; ALSO SOME OF THE PHRASES ARE MISMATCHED, THE INCORRECT RUSSIAN TO TRANSLATE THE ENGLISH. KINDLE VERSION SHOULD BE AVOIDED.

This was my first phrase book and I only looked at it for a few minutes but it does feel like they give you the basics on how to read, pronounce, and form basic phrases in the Russian language.It's a relatively small book, easy to carry around. Nice sized print for easy reading.
