5.0 out of 5 stars
The best book in English to learn Russian, December 30, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Russian Complete Course, with Book (Teach Yourself Books) (Russian Edition) (Audio Cassette)
When I bought this book I didn't even know the alphabet, to-day I am a fluent Russian speaker, and I owe it all to this book! If you want to learn Russian on your own, this book is the one you need to do it. It really can be done!

Great for people going to Russia, not a student's guide..., May 29, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Russian Complete Course, with Book (Teach Yourself Books) (Russian Edition) (Audio Cassette)
This guide is quite comprehensive. It starts off with the things you will need to know when you first go to Russia, like the alphabet, dealing with customs officials, meeting people and asking for directions, before moving on to other areas. Quite logical, and includes grammatical notes and various common coloquial expressions. Not so much for people studying in other courses as travellers who want to learn the langugae at their own pace while in a Russian-speaking country. But you really need the tape!
