This communicative, "natural approach" to introductory Russian emphasizes reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Everyday topics are presented to allow readers to begin communicating immediately. Grammar is presented as a necessary tool for communication and is introduced throughout. The book aims at comparing and contrasting cultures, rather than presenting the target culture only.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Russian textbook
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2013
Verified Purchase
I have been learning Russian on my own and have tried out many popular instructional books and textbooks. I have found this Troika textbook to be the most useful and enjoyable. It is extremely well organized and presented with very lucid explanations and charts. Grammatical topics are introduced gradually so if you are in a big hurry to memorize all the case endings better to get a grammar reference book. But if you want a very rational and clear progression through all the key introductory topics of the language this is an excellent choice. I just wish there was a Troika volume 2 for continued learning.

I am Russian, and book for me is very easy that is why I took this class. I just want to say that the seller was great, and and book is new for half of the price then in the my University's bookstore. I got it ontime, and look new, which is exactly what I need it. As far as the content, the book is not up to date, because Russia is different then it was saying in the book. the authors more represent USSR times. However, the exercises are good, and very helpful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost five stars

I am using this book in my Russian 101 class right now. The book itself is well organized and the grammer rules are clearly presented, but this book is in desperate need of a set of(or at least one)CD's to practice pronunciation with. The lab audiocassettes that are available don't go over the exercises in the book, just the listening exercises in the workbook. If this book came with some audio materials, it would get five stars. It is great for someone who is just getting a start in Russian.

The worse book I have ever run across in trying to learn any language and the latest edition is priced ridiculously high! I can see why this one was discarded.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a good Russian textbook to start out with.
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2005
This is the textbook we used for our Russian classes in college. I studied under the author for 2 semesters at UT-San Antonio. My other Russian professor (for the other 2 semesters) was Ukrainian. Even after 2 years of studying Russian, I didn't consider myself fluent. It will take further study (either on your own or with others) to become truly fluent in Russian, but this book is a good start.
