Format:Paperback
I took this book with me when I visited Russia for the first time with absolutely zero knowledge of Russian. This book was invaluable! Due to the nature of the Russian language, being one that is spelt as it is spoken, I was using words and phrases from this book and being mistaken for a local! The problem was I could not understand the responses I got many times, but that is not a fault of the book.
The book also lists words and phrases in Cyrillic, which means it's extremely easy to learn to read in Russia and I was able to read nearly all of the Cyrllic alphabet within the day!
On my journey on the Trans-Siberian railway I shared my carriage with a native Russian from Omsk. He had only a bare basic understanding of English from his education 35 years ago but passing this book between us we managed to have a decent conversation all day! It was an experience not to forget and one I would not have been able to have without this book.
The local did have one complaint, however. The dictionary at the back has 'few word'.

I have been in Russia for a year now and this book is never out of my pocket! It has been well and truly worn out. It explains things very well and is much better than any of the other phrasebooks I have bought.

This book is very easy to use and most of the translation you need is contained in it. We had someone russian staying with us and she found it easy to use

russian phrasebook
As it's not yet the recorded date of my purchase this request is a bit premature.
However the Gurney Slade DVD I ordered arrived ahead of time and is very good.

Handy size but the print is a little too small for a senior's eyes. I have to remove my multifocals and put on my stronger reading glasses to read it. Read more

The least useful thing I took to Russia
I bought this in a hurry with little thought, and a recommendation. I wish I had been more considered. I found it virtually useless in my brief visit to Russia. Read more

so small, I lost it on the bus
A useful little book edited by a Russian Australian, it includes some humourous phrases (of a sexual nature), and sentences grouped by subject. Read more
