Rated 5 starsA Solid Introduction to the Russian Language
I first used this book when I took four years of Russian in high school more than 30 years ago, and have kept this book for reference all these years.

There are written drills of progressively greater difficulty. There are also blocs of paragraphs depicting ordinary conversation...

I recommend this text to all serious students of the russian language. I do not believe you will find a better...

I have used other books, the best of which emphasizes conversation and is geared toward the college and university classroom ("Russian Stage One"). Russian is a difficult language, especially for English speakers. It is not readily accessible like Spanish or French. The vocabulary is difficult and the declensions of nouns, adjectives, and pronouns...
