Can anyone recommend a good Russian phrasebook for an intermediate level? I want something that has lots and
lots of sentences, and more complicated ones than, say, "My name is ____."

An English-Russian phrasebook is what I need primarily, but I'm also on the lookout for a Spanish-Russian
phrasebook, as well.

Thanks to all who reply!

I recommend Conversational Russian in 7 Days. It is published by McGraw-Hill and can be bought as a pack with book and audio CD. I just have the book and I found it excellent.

It also has a lot of travel information and information about surviving in the country.

Thank you for the recommendation, fanatic, but I'm not sure this is the book for me. The book advertises
"vocabulary and phrase lists for everyday situations such as dining, shopping, and asking for directions" and such
things, but I already know how to say all that. I think I'm looking for something with more advanced phrases.

"more complicated" and "non-everyday situations such as dining, shopping, and asking for
directions"

I can say it's nine times out of ten you will find just such a great content in it. It's
pretty obvious thing..

Why wouldn't you just go with movies or books? There are tons of phrases and sentences in
there.

Hi,

Try: DLI Better Russian (free)

There are there tons of intersting stuff.

This weekend, l'll publish a formated version. Epub and pdf

You can have a preview here : it's a work in progress (some corrections to do and formating adjusting) (my wife is checking the Russian part and I the English part)

Link removed .. I'll publish the final version theses days ...

It was a very big time consuming work .. the pages were badly scanned ...

Eric

Thanks for the response, Eric, and my apologies for my extremely tardy reply. I'll check out your file. :)
Meanwhile, I ordered this
book
, but it hasn't arrived, yet. When it does, I'll give an update.

Hi,

check Russian verbs of motion on my website ( Russian verbs.)

It's a short book on the perfective/imperfective and indeterminate forms of the motion verbs. Very usefull.

You'll find there also the DLI book I just finished to format: DLI Better Russian.

It's exactly this sort of vocabulary I never found in other books, and vocabulary/phrases everybody needs to know. I'll try to record the vocabulary of this book (in Russian) ASAP. I just need time .....
