5.0 out of 5 stars
Every part of the book is worthwhile,
This review is from: Russian Motion Verbs for Intermediate Students (Yale Language Series) (Paperback)
I'm not going to say that I completely understand Russian verbs of motion after reading this book (it'll take me a few years in the country continually practicing and using them to reach that level!), but this book is an immense help and provides a very strong base for learning the logic of Russian verbs of motion. Everything from the descriptions of the verbs and prefixes, to the exercises, to the appendices in the back of the book are useful and very well done. The verbs of motion in the Russian language will always initially be difficult for foreigners to learn, but fortunately, this book does ease some of the pain and frustration, and for that reason alone, it is worth being a part of every Russian student's library. My thanks to Mr. Mahota.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good content, no key,
This review is from: Russian Motion Verbs for Intermediate Students (Yale Language Series) (Paperback)
Russian verbs of motion are undoubtedly one of the main hurdles to overcome to become accurate and functional in the language. This book on motion verbs fills a gap left when the Khavronina version went out of print. Mahota's book is very well planned and does a very good job of explaining the verbs of motion in bite-sized chunks. Plenty of real-world, useful examples are given throughout, as well as ample opportunity to practise what you have learnt for yourself. So why three stars? Although the content is excellent, and useful for any student of Russian I would imagine, the book has no key to any of the exercises, so you can only use it with a teacher! In my opinion, the lack of key reduces the value of this book by half because no student studying by himself can use it effectively beyond the explanations, as there is no feedback for the exercises! This is a serious lack of foresight, as there are a lot of self-study language learners out there these days. Add to that the fact that you are paying 30 dollars for an incomplete book.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.,
This review is from: Russian Motion Verbs for Intermediate Students (Yale Language Series) (Paperback)
The authors have made a genuine contribution to east-west relations with this clear and thorough explanation of the puzzle of Russian verbs of motion. This book will take a week and a half to get through for intermed students, but the benefits are unlimited. Those who have ever struggled with Russian public transport will especially value this book. It is a genuine lifesaver.
