Excellent buy - I now read Russian without even thinking about the Cyrillic letters which was unimaginable for me to read at the beginning. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ muy útil! lo recomiendo! *by A***R on 2 December 2017* Trae un diccionario al final de cada historia que siempre puedes consultar si hay dudas. Es precioso y tiene un tamaño ideal para llevarlo de viaje y seguir aprendiendo. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just the right level *by A***R on 20 April 2025* Having studied Russian for approximately 6m on and off I was pleasantly surprised I could make my way through the first chapter without the audio (sold separately). The author has pitched this book exactly at the right level. This book is not for a novice and won't teach you Russian, but it will aid in consolidating your russian and make you more comfortable with the language. ## Frequently Bought Together - Short Stories in Russian for Beginners (Teach Yourself Short Stories for Beginners-multiple Languages) - The New Penguin Russian Course: A Complete Course for Beginners - Russian Short Stories For Beginners: 20 Captivating Short Stories to Learn Russian & Grow Your Vocabulary the Fun Way!
