.The New Penguin Russian Course: A Complete Course for Beginners (Penguin Handbooks)

by: Nicholas J. Brown

March 28, 1996
Can someone tell me if this book has accents to show where the stress falls on a word? I have used "Oxford Take Off in Russian", which does have these accents, and found it very good, if a bit thin. So I bought another book Basic "Russian: A Grammar and Workbook", but the lack of accents renders it virtually useless for self-study.
Thanks

.Russian in Three Months (Hugo)

by: Nicholas J. Brown

June 11, 1997
The cassettes are a must if you do not have a regular Russian teacher available. The book gives you a very quick initiation into the language. You often have to repeat the excercises various times in order to become independent of the grammer charts and vocabulary lists. A useful tool if you are prepared to work hard!

.Russian in Three Months (Hugo)

from: Dk Pub (P) (a)

1998-11
The book is attractive and laid out well...easy to find your way around. The tapes are clear, and in the first few lessons, very slow. Each chapter contains a grammar lesson, some vocabulary, and a dialogue illustrating both. There are also a few "quizzes" scattered along the way. The dialogues tell a story, which progresses from chapter to chapter, culminating in an "epilogue" at the end, telling what happened to the characters. The device sounds a little silly, but actually was rather motivating! The only real fault in the course was that there wasn't enough repetition. Some words appeared only once or twice in the dialogues...it would have been preferable to hear them several times, to develop the ability to recognize ... Read More:

.Russian in Three Months (Hugo)

by: Nicholas J. Brown

November 06, 1997
What impressed me about this book was the logical way everything is built up: you simply never come across something you haven’t been properly prepared for, which suggests it’s been put together with the help of student feedback. Other self-study guides are more careless in this respect, and leave you sometimes wondering if you’ve bitten off more than you can chew, when there’s simply been a lack of attention to detail on the part of the writer.

It’s not perfect, of course (complete grammar tables in an appendix would have been useful, for instance), but its only real fault is a shortage of exercises, which was mainly a problem in Chapters 3 and 4, where the accusative and dative cases are introduced. Where German ... Read More:
