4.0 out of 5 stars Want to learn Russian? Heres how..., July 23, 1997

By A Customer

So, you know a little about the Russian language and you want to learn all there is to know about Russian grammar? The Essentials of Russian Grammar is the book for you! It takes a look at all aspects of Russian grammar and covers them very in depth. If you learn the materials in this book, you will know enough to be fluent in Russian , and thats a fact. But this book is not for the faint of heart. It can get a bit complicated, so a some knowledge of how the language works is probably required before diving into this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great reference but probably not the place to start!, April 1, 2004

By	Blah (New York, New York) - See all my reviews

This book is a great tool for studying Russian. All the essential rules are here in an easy to find format. However, if don't know any Russian this is not the best place to begin. It is quite a dense book that is diffucult to read straight through but great if you have specific questions. I also recommend picking up 501 Russian verbs if you are serious about improving your Russian.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference, June 10, 2009

This book is an excellent reference for Russian grammar due to it's short and concise form. Clear examples are included with most topics which also add value. The only thing this book is lacking is an index (but it does have a table of contents).
