Oxford Russian Grammar and Verbs

This book condenses a lot of information into a small space, but doesn't scrimp on detail - it covers all the major points of larger grammars such as Wade's huge Russian Grammar tome, but is compact enough to carry round in your pocket. Each point is very clearly explained with a lot of vocabulary in the examples - very useful for boosting your base vocabulary in Russian as you revise / learn the grammar. The verbs section is perhaps a little short, and you might want to supplement the book with another dedicated, more detailed verb book like The Big Silver Book of Russian Verbs: 555 Fully Conjugated Verbs (Big Book of Verbs Series) , but as far as grammar guides go, you won't miss any of the important points by relying on this handy guide!

As far as the Russian language is concerned, 'there is a lot of grammar'... Without a background in Latin the terminology can be something of a mystery; Masculine, femimine and neuter nouns are relatively easy to spot but having to change the endings according to their use can present problems. This is covered early in the book, which I found helpful. The book provides back up on all aspects of grammar for someone who has attended Rusian classes. It is not really a book for a beginner in the language.

A very comprehensive book, although if you are new to the language it may come over as being very difficult to grasp initially. Best to use as a study aid with other suitable reference material.

I have other Grammar books that promise things like "made easy", "made simple", and...."for beginners", but this book delivers!, it says on the cover" clear and simple explanations" and that's exactly what it does. Grammar in any language is always a pain, but this book has thousands of examples, covering every aspect of " Nom,Acc,Gen, Dat,Ins and Prep. The work is even defined into different typeface for different examples, making it easier to search for worked examples just by spotting the typeface relative to the required subject. In short, for learning Grammar quickly and painlessly, this book is a winner.

In good order and arrived before time. The grammar is clear and concise.

Good quality & very useful.

Nice and small

I think it is really going to be a great help, but I have not had much time to use it yet. However, a quick glance through tells me it is going to be a great help in my studies.

The Russian and English languages are quite divergent and this book explained a number of confusing diverges.

Best book for Russian grammar.

Essa versão é muito pequena! O papel não é de qualidade (reciclável) porém, a impressão é boa e os exemplo de como "hackear" a língua são válidos. Recomendado para quem já possui um conheicmento médido do idioma russo.

This small dense manual is good for those who have completed a year or two of Russian in college and would like summaries of grammatical constructions using a broad ranging vocabulary. In addition to verb conjugation, there are detailed declensions of nouns, adjectives, pronouns, and adverbs, with a decent attempt to review and enlarge your vocabulary. The are many digressions treating irregular forms but these are not so numerous as to confuse or mar the main treatment. There are no pronunciation guides and so you are expected to be able to work out the sounds of the words by knowing the Russian alphabet pretty much backwards and forwards; syllables are given accent markings as appropriate, though. There is a section listing many important verbs and their English equivalents. If you are fuzzy on terms of grammatical use, there is a section explaining them. The book is not for beginners, but ancillary material is available in other books to allow a persistent student to advance.
