The New Penguin Russian Course

Notes are nice after reading few chapters you can make conversation with anyone book is good for English speaking students

Good book. Takes step by step approach. Also covers pronounciation. Can't blame book that the russian language itself is difficult to learn.

Good

Absolutely essential to have a copy if you wish to start learning Russian. Don't think twice; buy it.

This book is an absolute delight to read and go through, the lessons are quick and easy and well-paced. I would recommend doing other coursework other than the book, while following this book as a refrence. The print quality is lovely.

Best book for learning Russian. Nobody explains the Cyrillic alphabet as this author.

I really liked the book, its step by step lessons and really good for beginners. I was able to learn reading russian and some words to speak. Obviously i need to work hard to learn more, book can only help you.

As an English speaker I found this book is very helpful in increasing the vocabulary and correcting the grammer of a person. Although the pattern through which this book goes is difficult for a beginner to learn. Awesome book and wonderful stuff inside. Thanks to Nicholas J. Brown
