Phrasebook of Love is an understatement!

I have been attempting to learn Russian now for a year and a half. This book has proven to be very helpful both in learning new terms, but also the complexities of Russian Grammar. The premise of this book is to teach someone not just how to write in Russian, but to write it in a manner to convey emotional and passiontate feelings. It takes a little time to get the feel of the book and how to use it, but once you get started, it has many phrases that you can pull out of the entries, and use with others. If you are looking for a book to learn Russian with, this book is more suitable for those who have gotten past the basics of pronounciation and reading the Russian alphabet, an advanced beginner or intermediate Russian student. However, it really brings out the ideas once you start.

Too Bad...so promising....so difficult

What a disappoint this book is....BUT....for one reason and one reason only....the russian translation IS IN THE RUSSIAN ALPHABET!!!! Do you believe it????...and not a word about how to pronounce the words.....other than that....this is the BEST book around for the volume and variety of love phrases..unfortunately, it is worthless for me as I wanted to be able to say the words...not spend an hour getting the English alphabet Translation of the written Russian alphbet translation..so...if your honey is right next to you and you can show her the Russian equivilant you are home free...otherwise you'll be out of luck on this one....darn!!!
