4.0 out of 5 stars very good for independent study 3 Feb 2005
By A Customer
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I relied on Colloquial Russian 1 to get to GCSE level without a teacher (the book actually goes a bit further than that) and hope to get to AS level with Book Two. It's clear on grammar without being pointlessly exhaustive too soon. Instructions for excercises are in English which is great for an independent learner and the translation with answers at the end of each chapter helps to check progress. The texts are up to date and give an insight into modern Russia, and the longer introductory chapter is good revision of the basics covered in book 1. My Russian isn't good enough to spot a Russian mistake but there are several minor but silly ones in the English parts of the text. I don't think the vocabulary at the back of the book is quite as exhaustive as it claims to be and I often have to check things in a dictionary. While the materials are modern, the format is quite traditional (possibly reassuringly so for some people) and there are no gimmicks or tips for studying. However, I would certainly recommend the book (with cassettes or CDs), and expect my copy of book 2 to become as tatty as the first book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good! 13 Dec 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I bought this book recently and I find it is very good. It teaches you a lot of useful vocabulary and has examples of real texts. It also bridges that awful gap between beginners' text books and advanced reading. If you've finished a first level teach yourself text book (any brand) or have done GCSE Russian in evening classes, this is the next step you need. Do buy the tapes or CDs though - it's important to get your accent right now!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good 18 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback
Contains a good variety material and exercises but not the best layout. I didn't like the way the grammar was presented in some areas and don't understand why they place relevant information in random parts of the book rather than all together. However, the articles provided are quite interesting and not too difficult. A dictionary is definitely required whilst using the book because only key words are translated. As is clearly noted in the title, it is for people who already know quite a bit of Russian and would be nigh on pointless for beginners.
Overall, maybe not essential but worthwhile if you're serious about studying the language and have cash to spare.
