5.0 out of 5 stars The best I've seen and I live in Russia, August 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Romanov's Russian / English Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)

I work for the US Peace Corps and speak fluent Russian. Many other volunteers have other dictionaries which don't compare. My Russian friends have been floored at some of the words which are included. I am reading Bulgakov in the original Russian and rarely have trouble finding a word. Because of the intelligent system used,(which you must spend time learning in order to get good use of the dictionary) much more information is in there than meets the eye even in the first year of use. It includes excellent stress pattern systems (rarely wrong) and great grammar references. A must for a student.

1.0 out of 5 stars No good, May 15, 2004

This review is from: Romanov's Russian / English Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)

I bought Romanov's Dictionary because of many possitive comments has been posted in amazon.com about this Dicitonary, there's no avialable in bookstore in my area , I had to make special order. After I openned it and found disappointment, it has the blurry typeface and fonts that makes all the Cyrillic letters very hard to distinguish. For the same price I would recommend Collins Gem Russian Dictionary; ISBN: 0007143044 instead.

This is a great all-around pocket dictionary for Russian and English. With its 35,000 entries, I found it adequate for most of my daily needs in Russian, although I occasionally needed something a little more specialized when reading heavy literature texts. Full pronunciation information is given for the English entries; Russian entries are marked for stress only. Additional features include a reference chart of the Russian alphabet, a short article on Russian pronunciation, lists of Russian, American, and British abbreviations, and a quick reference list of numbers, weights, and measures.
