Worth every cent and well put together

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 25, 2007

Verified Purchase

I ordered BOTH the book as well as the CD. The quality of each is more than rich and satisfying.

The book seems at times to be a bit on the more intermedite side. However, when combined with the tests and other learning materials provided on line along with a well-done CD with proper Russian, it can definitely take you to that lower advanced or further level that you may have been striving for. It is work just like with any language learning but in this package, the work seems to be easy, clearly defined (answers are in the back if you need that extra pat on the back or if you really need to go over that part again very carefully.

The book offers intermediate level Russian in an effective format. I recommend that you first complete 'Colloquial Russian - Complete Course' before tackling this book. I especially liked the vocabulary, word sets, and dialogues. Some of the grammar could have been more explanatory, but overall quite adequate. The authors also attempted to provide a glimpse of Russian life with the stories and dialogues which I found appealing.

This is a fun class reader, with interesting topics. We are using it in my 3rd year Russian class, and I like it better then standard text books.

Conversion to Kindle not yet completely usable.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 15, 2012

Verified Purchase

The Kindle conversion of this book is not usable in its present format. We already own this book on paper and needed a second copy, so are able to make a direct comparison.
The text has been converted (not perfectly, see below) to Kindle format. However the grammar tables e.g. The Accusative of adjective and pronouns, appear to have been handled as images by the conversion process. The text in the table remains very pale (it is not wonderful in the printed version) and cannot be enlarged by using the type face size controls of the Kindle.
The only way to get a larger view of the tables is to alter the orientation on the Kindle to Landscape and thus prove a wider screen, which the table then extends to fill.
There is a second a problem with type face conversion. Some accented Russian vowel characters are larger than they should be and in bold. See for example Language Points, The Imperative, which is correctly set out on page 41 etc in the printed book.
There may be further conversion problems but we have not checked through the whole Kindle book and will no longer have access to it.

Amazon have refunded us the cost of the Kindle version. We are now postponing buying a further paper copy of this book in the hope that Routledge will improve the conversion to Kindle. A Kindle plus its cover weighs less than a copy of this textbook and any willingness of publishers to put textbooks onto Kindles is to be warmly welcomed. However, more time and trouble needs to be taken before selling such items to customers.

We are older readers and our normal Kindle typeface size is set at the third from the left.

Not such a problem if your Russian is fairly good, but can mislead less experienced students

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 25, 2016

Too many mistakes via the electronic transfer, resulting in wrong or missing Russian letters. Not such a problem if your Russian is fairly good, but can mislead less experienced students. The book itself is good, so it really merits being re-prepared for Kindle.
