Summary: An absolute MUST for any beginning Russian student
Comment: This should be your first stop when looking to buy books for your beginning study of Russian language. I used this and am very thankful that I found it because it painlessly got me started with reading. It taught me the cyrillic alphabet and introduced me to the cursive writing. Every page is actually FUN. There are puzzles, crosswords and other things to help you quiz yourself. You learn without hating it:) The only thing I hated about this book is that it ended too soon.It helped me accomplish what I wanted, but I rather wished the author could be my teacher and I could just go ahead and learn the whole language from her, because she made the alphabet so much fun.
This book was inexpensive and worth much more than I paid. DO GET THIS if you need to learn the cyrillic. You will be glad.
P.S. See my other review about the set of children's writing books I used for learning to write in cursive. That was the thing I did right after I finished this book, and it turned out very well for me, too.

Summary: great refresher

Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent way to learn Russian Language pronunciation!
Comment: I have purchased all three of the "Teach Yourself...Russian..." books and each one is excellent. This book teaches you the Cyrillic alphabet and the transliteration (conversion) of the alphabet into Latin characters. This will help any English-speaking person learn how to pronounce Russian words.

Summary: a quick way to learn both print and script
Comment: I got this book through InterLibraryLoan for a buck something and I was done with it in less than three weeks. By that time I could read Russian print about 100% and Russian script in a couple textbooks I have around 75%. This was only a couple of months ago and I am still learning to write and read the cursive script. But for even the new price this is a painless way to learn how to read and write Russian letters. The language itself takes somewhat longer (doh!) to learn. But this is a good start.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Just right, good introduction
Comment: I found this book just right for learning the Russian script. It is taken in gradual steps with lots of cognates so you don't get bogged down with vocabulary learning. The book keeps your interest using many tips on Russian life and introducing pertinent (practical) words which will be useful on any visit to the country. Also examples of ads, tickets, announcements, etc. to give you a real life idea of how the script is used. I didn"t give it five stars because it does not tell you how to form the letters of the handwriting and you will have to look closely at the examples to find out which letters are higher than the others and which go below the line. Would recommend this along with a basic Pimsleur audio course before tackling a grammar.
