This is a great book for study when you don't have much time. The vocabulary is grouped by category, so you can learn all about vegetables while you're eating lunch. This also eliminates a lot of flipping pages since everything is on the same page. It also works well as a regular dictionary. Very compact but the font size is a little small for some eyes. If you can't read small print you might want to pass on this one.

I bought this book for my sister when she entered first-year Russian, to go along with her Oxford Russian Dictionary. I've taken a few years of Russian myself, and what I like about this book is the way you can flip through and pick up new vocabulary on the go. I've also found it's available at a variety of big-box bookstores. It's small type but the print is clean and the book feels nice. If you're looking for something to build vocabulary, this is a solid and compact choice -- it had new words for my sister in her first year, and me in my third year alike!

As a longtime student of Russian, I recommend this book to anyone wishing to expand their vocabulary. The words are relevant and useful. Definitely worth the money.

I found that this book was very helpful in understanding some basic words and when it was given the english equivalent. However since I am attending a Russian class, it is helpful to know the pronunciation of the basic alphabet and how certain characters make certain symbols sound different. Otherwise I really like this book and intend on getting a couple more for my comrades. Good Luck ! (zhy-lah-yu u-dah-chi)
