Russian Picture Word Book: Learn Over 500 Commonly Used Russian Words Through Pictures (Dover Children's Language Activity Books) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Here’s a fun-filled book for young Russian speakers — and at the same time, an easy, effective way for students of Russian to build and strengthen their vocabulary skills. The book consists of 15 common scenes (14 double-page and one single-page), each devoted to a different theme or topic: picnic, on the farm, classroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen, at dinner, supermarket, at the beach, my town, at the zoo, at the park, vehicles, and more.Each scene contains dozens of familiar objects, all clearly identified by Russian words. By studying the pictures, students can learn over 500 terms for a variety of household items, clothing, foods, furniture, animals, parts of the body, types of stores and public buildings, and other subjects.To help reinforce words and meanings (and for more fun), all scenes can be colored. In addition, a complete list of Russian words and their English translations is located at the back of the book. Altogether, the result is an attractive and useful language resource that will appeal to any student of basic Russian, child or adult.

The poor reviews rate this book low for two main reasons:1. It is in black and white, like a coloring book.2. It is in Russian with no English and no guide.Pros:- If you learn better by associating words with pictures, this is great.- If you want to make personal copies (like if you have more than one kid?) then the coloring book style makes this easy.- If you like coloring, you can color it.- You learn a foreign language better by completely being submersed in it. Having the Russian word printed on a picture of it without pronunciation or translation makes your brain work less and learn Russian better through instant recognition, instead of it cycling -> English meaning, Russian pronunciation, funny "letters." Forcing the alphabet on yourself is actually easier.- This book is a whopping $3.95.Cons:- If you can't read Russian yet, buy this book but get a pronunciation guide. If you can buy this book on .com, you can Google a guide.Also, don't think it's just for kids. Remember learning your native language? Did you have pictures? Did you have to sound out the words thousands of times before you instantly read it? Yeah, you did and there is a reason for that--learn Russian the same way.
Some of these types of vocabulary picture books are designed for native Russian speakers to learn English and not the other way around, but many of us native English speakers buy them in hopes of using them to learn Russian. The main problem with this and similar books is that the Russian words are not stress-marked, an essential feature for learning proper Russian pronunciation. So, you get a lot of words and their associated pictures, but nothing in the way of pronunciation help.That said, one can use this as an exercise in looking up Russian words in a good Russian/English dictionary and page by page, mark the stress yourself. Could be useful in memorizing the vocabulary and make a marginally useful book, more so. Good luck!
I speak Russian and bought this for my 4 year old son. I should have paid better attention to the description but I bought it quickly based on the price and overall reviews. I do not think this is appropriate for preschool. The pictures are very detailed with a lot of pictures and a preschooler could never color that. Also, you need someone who can speak Russian to explain what the words mean. I don't really know who the target audience would be. I think a 7 year old girl might like it to color and then have someone practice the vocabulary, but I don't know many boys who would enjoy coloring it. Also, as kids get older you need a better book to have at least some verbs and expressions besides vocabulary. I see this more as a coloring book with some Russian vocab as a bonus.I am thinking of coloring it in myself, and/or copying the sheets and using them to color a little at a time, focusing on a few words at a time.
It's okay, aside from a few misspelled words and the lack of accent marks. It's a beginner book -- it should have accents. You're not going to know how to pronounce a word without them. I had to use a dictionary and manually add accents to every word.You're probably better off if you make your own picture cards instead of using this picture book. Take a picture of everything in your living room (or use pictures from an online catalog) and print them B&W on 3x5 index cards or 4x6 photo paper. Look the things up in a Russian dictionary, then write the Russian (accented of course) on the back. It'll help you more than this book.
First of all, this looks like a coloring book, which is OK, but should probably be in the description of the product. And secondly (more importantly!!) there are misspelled words! On p. 22, "'''''''" is written as "'''''''". This is unacceptable!
I m learning more from it, than I have learned from all other books... I am 30 yrs old. but it's so much fun to just feel like a kid and color in the book... Lol. If you are a beginner, you would need to identify the alphabets first. Or you can always use internet to check what word exactly means what and how is it pronounced.
The pamphlet is fun, and my be useful in pronunciation of some words, but for learning a useful sense of the Russian language it's not effective. With that said it is a family fun activity and worth the cost. The illustration are well done and complex enough for playing a Russian language version of 'I Spy'.
A great coloring book to help someone to learn nouns in Russian!The book is black and white on a sturdy paper.The words are only available in Russian, but because they are paired with pictures the meaning is clear, what is more---the words are nouns, so there is no confusion at all.
