About this title

Review

The best way to learn any language is to emerge yourself and read. This book does just that. It gives you all the words you will encounter in the paragraphs to come and then, you read. I also like that there is a link to go to a website where the paragraphs are also read so you can hear what each word sounds like. I've taken Russian for over a year via a phone app, which just teaches words. But learning sentences and how each word relates to the other is how you learn. Great book.

This has been a wonderful book for learning Russian. It is probably too advanced for a new beginner. I'd place myself in advanced beginner/intermediate level for reading in Russian. It is interesting and practical with a paragraph or two on a subject regarding ordinary life (commuting to work, what the apartment looks like, daily routine, etc), translated into English, followed by questions and answers regarding the paragraph. There are jokes, proverbs and short lessons on grammar.
