2.0 out of 5 stars Useful but annoying, 15 May 2006
By S. Edwards (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book has two main problems:

Firstly, a lot of useful basic phrases are missing from the book. Being able to ask complex questions about your hotel room are all well and good, but not giving you simple building blocks such as "Why?" is inexcusable.

Secondly, the book has only the English phrase and a transliterated version. The absence of the Cyrillic text for the phrase is incredibly frustrating as no native speaker can read the transliterated phrase. Hence, you will struggle to communicate until your pronuniciation improves. If they had included the Cyrillic for the phrase then you could just point to it and the native speaker can read it and understand you, and also they can correct your pronunication immediately so that you learn quicker.

Lonely Planet would do well to look at their other phrasebooks (such as the Mongolia phrasebook) to see how to improve this book.
