2000 Most Common Russian Words in Context: Get Fluent & Increase Your Russian Vocabulary with 2000 Russian Phrases (Russian Language Lessons) Paperback – October 8, 2019

I received the book within time of delivery and in good shape as in the picture

This is a practical guide for learning/improving Russian vocabulary. I love that it starts with words you'll use/see more often and works up to the ones less frequently used. I have a guide to 800 commonly used words, and the first page includes words like 'adjustment', 'angle', and 'apparatus'. I'm sure these words are good to know, but they're not the most helpful for someone just starting in the language. This book has words like 'and', 'in', and 'he' on the first page. Rather more useful than my other guide. I also like that this book has sample sentences using the words. The sentences also seem to get more advanced throughout the book. Overall, this seems to be a helpful, practical guide.

Good for what it is. The description fits it well. Won't teach you the language but some key phrases are there.

I just got this book two days ago and I have already been through the entire thing! I love the context sentences, although some are beyond my level, they are another wonderful way to expand vocabulary. I highlighted all of the words that I already know and will now concentrate on those that I don't. The only thing that would be helpful to me, would be to have the stressed vowels bolded. I don't care for the way the stress marks are notated in this book. Also, eliminate the cursive font in the introduction. Russian is hard enough to read without adding cursive! Otherwise, I highly recommend this book if you are studying the beautiful Russian language.

We bought 2000 Most Common Russian Words in Context: Get Fluent & Increase Your Russian Vocabulary for our daughter who is learning Russian this year and she will love this!!!

Like the other Lingo Mastery books for languages such as French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese, 2000 most common words in Russian is a great addition to any program of language study whether one is taking a course, learning with a tutor or roughing it out in self-study. Because these words are presented and learned in the context of real (and useful in their own right!) sentences, you end up learning way more than the 2000 words in the title and also are exposed to and pick up Russian grammar through reading simple comprehensible input (a well researched and frequently recommended way to acquire languages). Highly recommend!!

I purchased this so that I had a hard copy of the most frequent 2000 Russian words to make flash cards from. It suffices for that job. When I first got the book I was happy to see that it has example sentences to add clarity to the process. My issue is that the ideas amazing but the execution is poor. I can’t speak to the issue of poor direct translations mentioned in other reviews but it wouldn’t surprise me. Also many of these words have multiple meanings. ie. В can mean in, on, or at, however the book often only gives you one example sentence and you are left wondering how the word would be used in other ways. This is no small thing seeing that the word probably made the list because it is technically used often because it has multiple meanings. If you only learn one 3rd of its utility then it doesn’t really help your fluency as much as they say it will.

I just bought this book on Kindle and I'm already so happy with it. I really believe that learning the 2,000 most common words is going to help me a lot. And I love the way the book is laid out. It has the example sentences for each word in Russian and in English, and the word itself is boldfaced in both sentences, so you can see the word order. The Kindle version was inexpensive too.
