Terms of Endearment in Russion,
By DrMommy (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Russian Phrases for Children - An Adoption Language Tool for English Speaking Parents (2 phrase books + audio CD) (Paperback)
I have been listening to this cd in the car for about a month and feel like I have really learned a lot of phrases that will help me in my upcoming adoption. I find I am practicing these phrases at odd times...but they have really stuck. These phrases have stuck much better than the other Russian programs I am working through right now. How wonderful to know how to call your daughter beautiful and to tell her you will love her forever. A lot of more practical phrases as well.

Exactly What I was Hoping For,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Russian Phrases for Children - An Adoption Language Tool for English Speaking Parents (2 phrase books + audio CD) (Paperback)
We are adopting from Eastern Europe, and needed something to help us communicate with our son when we travel to meet him and bring him home. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. The cd includes both a male and female native speaker; the phrasebooks (which are small and great for travel) include both the phonetic and cyrillic spelling of the phrases and words. The content includes everything we'll want to tell / ask our son in the first few days that we're trying to communicate - from "I love you"... to "this is your new room"... to "don't be afraid" ... "are you thirsty?" Even my 4-year-old and 5-year-old daughters are repeating the words and phrases. We highly recommend this for English-speaking families adopting or hosting Russian-speaking children.

Excellen for Ukraine adoptionalso,
This review is from: Russian Phrases for Children - An Adoption Language Tool for English Speaking Parents (2 phrase books + audio CD) (Paperback)
Used this when I taught myself Russian before we went to Ukraine to adopt. Most of Ukraine still speaks Russian and I knew this before we went to adopt our kids. The most important phrase is "spakoina noch, ya tibia lublu" Good night I love you...we still use each night before bed.
