This dictionary gives the serious student a powerful tool.

The Oxford Russian-English Dictionary was my first real dictionary as a Russian Language student. Taking advice from a personal hunch I bought the book before I ever stepped into a university lesson in Russian about three and a half years ago. This dictionary has served me extremely well particularly in terms of translations excercises. I personally consider this dictionary to be a fabulous reference tool for anyone student or professor serious about the study of Russian with a focus on finding the most authoritative and accurate translation of over 80,000 words and/or phrases from Russian to English. Please consider purchasing this dictionary if you speak English as a native language and truly are serious about your studies of Russian. The only drawback to this dictionary comes from the fact that it forces the user to have a good sense of the meaning that he or she is after since it provides such a huge variety on certain translations from Russian to English which is quite understandable considering the difficulty in what many term {comparitive linguistics} i.e. (word to word) translation. I hope that anyone who wants to add to his or her vocabularly will consider purchasing this dictionary for I believe that it will help tremendously with this endeavor.
