5.0 out of 5 stars The Absolute Best Pocket Dictionary, August 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Pocket Oxford Russian Dictionary (Paperback)

No other pocket dictionary compares to this one. I have studied Russian for two years part time and have been to Russia 6-7 times, using this book all the while. All other pocket dictionaries that I have seen are inferior w/r/t quality and completeness. This one is the choice of the experts, and I couldn't agree more. It is rare for a pocket dictionary to give several nuances in English for the same Russian word. Also,often there are short useful phrases associated with certain words.This pocket dictionary is an excellent choice for travellers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value!, April 21, 2002

By A Customer

This pocket Russian dictionary is one of the best that I've used.
It shows all perfective and imperfective verbs, it includes irregular verb endings
and indicates the accent (udarenie) of all Russian words.
I disagree with the poor rating given by a reader that complained about the lack of Cyrillic transliteration.
This dictionary is for people who ALREADY know the Cyrillic alphabet.
A great dictionary at a great price!

5.0 out of 5 stars superb help with the spoken russian word, July 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Pocket Oxford Russian Dictionary (Paperback)

This book accompanied me on my trip to Belarus this summer. It was an indespensable item in the daily chores of communication with my belarussian host and friends. It has for its size and scope the best working range of any book in its class. I can only recommend it for any one who would like to learn the russian language.
