What you can expect from this book:

This Russian learning resource is a combination of Russian vocabulary book and a two-way basic Russian dictionary:

• Part 1: Topic based Russian vocabulary book
  This is the main part of the book and represents a list of chapters each containing Russian vocabularies for a certain topic. The Russian vocabularies in the chapters are unsorted on purpose to separate remembering them from a defined alphabetical order. You can start at any chapter and dive directly into the topics that interest you the most.
• Part 2: Basic English-Russian dictionary
  The index in the second half of the book can be used as a basic Russian dictionary to look up words you have learned but can't remember or learn new words you need.
• Part 3: Basic Russian-English dictionary
  Easy to use and with just the right amount of words, this third part finishes off with a second index that allows you to look for Russian words and directly find the English translation

How to use this Russian vocabulary book:

Not sure where to start? We suggest you first work your way through the verbs, adjectives and phrases chapters in part one of the book. This will give you a great base for further studying and already enough vocabulary for basic communication. The Russian dictionaries in part two and three can be used whenever needed to look up words you hear on the street, English words you want to know the Russian translation for or simply to learn some new words.

Some final thoughts:

Vocabulary books have been around for centuries and as with so many things that have been around for some time, they are not very fashionable and a bit boring, but they usually work very well. Together with the basic Russian dictionary parts, this vocabulary book is a great resource to support you throughout the process of learning Russian and comes in particularly handy at times when there is no internet to look up words and phrases.
