`Review from previous edition The recorded material is of an exceptionally high quality and executed in a very professional manner, which differentiates Take off In Russian from other similar textbooks available on [sic] both the Western and Russian markets, . . .'
Marianna Taymanova, SEER

An essential book for learning Russian!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 27, 2011

Verified Purchase

Based on the only review given to this book I decided to buy it and it is really a gem! Although it is small and compact in its format, it gives what it promises: A complete learning Kit for those who study on our own.And it comes with 4 cds and downloadable MP3. Thanks to the reviewer and specially to the author for this great tool. I hope other students of Russian language buy it.

Good place to start learning how long and often discouraging the road to fluency really is

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2015

An excellent pocket-sized introduction to Russian. But forget the claims that learning is easy, or that this is more than a very simplified first step towards knowledge. I'll bet that 99% of readers give up long before they're halfway through.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He said he wanted to learn Russian language on his own. I figured it would be a good start, and since I am originally from Russia, if he had any questions I would help him on top of it.

Great learning system/product

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2010

This easy to use book and cd's will help you learn the basics of Russian in no time. The language is tough, but with the Take Off In Russian book/cds, you'll have an easy time understanding the basic principles of the Russian language.

Very good - Excellent for revision purposes .

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed it. I have done some Russian before so loved it. Clearly laid out, and fast-moving, it's a lot of material for a very reasonable price. Came in very good time and in excellent condition. It's a very good buy for the money- and my favourite out of two purposes for a Russian teaching package.

If I were being pernickity, I just think that it's not quite as practically absed as it might be, eg, in early section it mentions what "today" is in Russian, but not yesterday or tomorrow. If you're on holiday, you need the vocab, eg, if transport, are thigns early, later, delayed, cancelled, etc. Very traditional approach to language with some modernness thrown in, eg, for me I do not need to know what the Russian is for grandmother, nephew, etc, is if I'm going on holiday or business.

Full of lots of information, perfect course

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 5, 2014

Brought this book to learn Russian after having brought a lot of other "learn Russian" books. This book is totally different from the usual learning books it has vast amount of information and just doesn't feature how to ask "where your hotel is" type of information.

This book is brilliant for truly learning the Russian language.

Good.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

A good place to start off in Russian, and has a few useful tips. It does a good job of simplifying it and its not a bad price for what you get. Everything was delivered as planned and I have enjoyed using the CD and the book for references and it has helped my learn the basics well enough. Although I found it quite boring.
Thanks!
