This is the first Russian grammar book I picked up and it's quite good, but Schaum's is better. Don't get me wrong, I've used and can recommend both, but if you only want one, get Schaum's Outlines of Russian Grammar by James S. Levine instead of this one.

This is a fantastic book which explains the complexities of Russian grammar in plain english. I must own half the books ever written on Russian grammar but this one just explained things in a simple straight forward manner giving excellent examples and the practice exercises were meaningful and worthwhile. I also liked the way it tackles grammar in small bite sized chunks building as you go without overwhelming you with new vocabulary.

All important spects of basic Russian grammar are presented here in very clear, well ordered format. each section covers a different topic, with a clear explanation, and a few simple exercises to trest your understanding. If you need a review, are looking for a supplement to your school text, or are talented at learning languages and want an intro to Russian grammar I can absolutley recommend this book as the best of its kind.

This product never arrived. I ordered this book along with New Penguin Russian Course months ago. New penguin arrived in days but I still don't have this book.

Very well done; easy to assimilate. Disciplined approach. A companion audio would be helpful.

I took Russian 1 last spring. I found this book to be somewhat helpful but I don't think the CD is much help for someone starting fresh. I was disappointed.
