Reviews
A great reference text for learners of the Russian language
An extremely useful text that gives the 5000 most commonly used Russian words in the order of frequency with an example and the English translation. In addition there are 26 themed boxes that give the top words used in specific topics like for example, moods and emotions. At the end of the book the words are listed in alphabetical order with their frequency ranking enabling you to quickly find a word. Another section lists the words in their “parts-of-speech”, for example, the most frequently used adverbs, and another section that gives the most commonly used multiple word expressions.
