For babies and not only The pages here in can help babies and not only to memorize simple items of the common life
Misspelled words!! First of all, this looks like a coloring book, which is OK, but should probably be in the description of the product. And secondly (more importantly!!) there are misspelled words! On p. 22, "" is written as "". This is unacceptable!
Not for the English student of Russian Some of these types of vocabulary picture books are designed for native Russian speakers to learn English and not the other way around, but many of us native English speakers buy them in hopes of using them to learn Russian. The main problem with this and similar books is that the Russian words are not stress-marked, an essential feature for learning proper Russian pronunciation. So, you get a lot of words and their associated pictures, but nothing in the way of pronunciation help.
That said, one can use this as an exercise in looking up Russian words in a good Russian/English dictionary and page by page, mark the stress yourself. Could be useful in memorizing the vocabulary and make a marginally useful book, more so. Good luck!
Awful! This book is for people that already know Russian. Not only that, it must be for Russian children. There are illustrations (just like the cover) that look like a coloring book along with the items corresponding names written in Russian over them. There are no translations for these words in English. I would highly recommend a phrase book if you are hoping to learn a bit of Russian. This would prove useful to you.
