This review is from: English Grammar for Students of Russian: The Study Guide for Those Learning Russian (English grammar series) (Paperback)
Great book. It will help you identify what parts of English grammar you've forgotten because you've never needed to discuss it. Suddenly, in Russian class, you must identify parts of speech and tenses and so on. The understanding of our grammar is so very important in the successful learning of Russian. Russian uses its grammar to identify the function of words in a sentence. That is - the subject pronoun could appear anywhere in a sentence. The verb could, too. The adjectives could be thrown anywhere. (This happens mostly in poetry, but it's occurred in those terribly long sentences in periodicals and books.) It's the declension of the word that lets the reader/listener know if that word is the subject pronoun or the direct object pronoun, etc. In order to keep up with the complexity of Russian, you must know English grammar first. That way when you are trying to identify parts of a sentence, you will not be slowed down by having to figure out what the instructor is talking about when she refers to grammar "you should know" since you've learned it in elementary/jr. high school. BTW, I learned to speak, read and write Russian first on my own, then on an advanced level in college and grad school. I do not believe Russian is a difficult language. Teachers tend not to teach students how to learn it properly.

Having trouble understanding Russian grammar?,
This review is from: English Grammar for Students of Russian: The Study Guide for Those Learning Russian (English grammar series) (Paperback)
Then this is the perfect study companion for native English speakers learning the Russian Language! I used this book while in college earning my BA in Russian and found this book to be invaluable during my studies.
This book covers basic English grammar in the simplest of terms in short concise lessons that we'll help students learn Russian easier. Lots of examples are given in both English and Russian on the grammar being discussed in each chapter. At the end of each lesson are exercises to test your knowledge on the grammar topic discussed with an answer key key at the end of the book to see how well you learned the particular grammar topic that was discussed.

This review is from: English Grammar for Students of Russian: The Study Guide for Those Learning Russian (English grammar series) (Paperback)
As a teacher of English as a foreign language, I have found this book to be invaluable when a Russian-speaking student is particularly stuck on a grammatical area. A small example: A student of mine was frustratingly unable to remember to include articles in her sentences. A glance at page 13 made this more understandable: there ARE no articles in Russian!I haven't used this book enough to say whether it is great overall or not, but I *can* say that each time I have used it, the knowledge it has given me has been worth the price of the book.
