Russian-English / English-Russian Dictionary And Phrasebook: (Hippocrene Dictionary & Phrasebooks) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Today over 220 million people around the world speak Russian. Despite popular misconceptions, it is not a difficult language to learn. Russian is written in Cyrillic, an alphabet developed in the ninth century from ancient Greek. Visitors to Russia should become familiar with it in order to read signs and get around on their own more easily, as even the larger cities do not have signs and information posted in English. This volume comprises a section on pronunciation providing charts for the English transliteration, which allows users to speak Russian without actually knowing the Cyrillic alphabet. Essential Expressions lists useful, everyday phrases. Each successive chapter covers basic words, phrases, and concepts most often encountered by travellers to Russia in typical daily situations. The penultimate chapter helps make sense of the Russian number system and provides frequently used time expressions. The final chapter offers reference on subjects such as holidays, weather, metric conversions, and other practical information.

This is a very nice paperback dictionary of Russian/English and English/Russian. The Russian entries are the Cyrillic but there are phonetic pronounciation guides that are very helpful for those who are not advanced in Russian. It seems I am constantly referring to mine during my other Russian courses. It has a nice language section in the back with all the useful phrases. I highly recommend it.
Thoroughly comprehensive, and very well arranged. Both English to Russian is clear, and with an extended vocabulary, English and Russian includes technical and scientific terms.
Yes, this book did help me when i was brushing up on my Russian language skills, some phrases were a little redundant for me but nonetheless a good phrase book for anyone heading to Moscow or Los Angeles and New York and you need to get a cab.
I was looking for a dictionary to help ELLs in the classroom. This one has the phonetic pronunciation of the words, so an English speaker can help Russian speakers who don't read yet in their native language. Great resource!
It is a good book. does the job. I am happy with this book. I am not sure what else to say about this book. It does what it sais.
good book to help with basic phases.will would buy this again.Any one going to russian should buy this book asap.
