Russian Picture Word Book: Learn Over 500 Commonly Used Russian Words Through Pictures (Dover Bilingual Books For Kids)

Exactly what I expected. I am excited to get started on more vocabulary. I saw some people mention the lack of stress symbols being present to help pronounce the words. I see this as opportunity for you to look it up in dictionary or online and place the stress symbols appropriately yourself to reinforce the material to an even greater degree! Do not get if you cant pronounce the alphabet as this is just words over pictures with translations in the back. Very simple and exactly what i was looking for.

Look, the Cyrillic alphabet isn't that hard to learn. I just watched a video on YouTube several times and learned it in a couple of days. You can also just go on google translate and see where the accent of each word is. I like that this coloring book doesn't have pronounciation suggestions using the Roman alphabet, because those are a crutch if you really want to learn Russian. What I have done with my daughter is practice each word, and then when we have the word down we color it in. We are also using other resources to learn other parts of speech (this book just has nouns) and grammar, including the declensions of the nouns we learn in this book. (You have to do that unless you just want to know how to point stuff and say the names). This book is such a fun component of learning Russian. Highly recommend.

Book is all black and white line drawings. Pros: large vocabulary of everyday nouns. Cons: the font used is not bold enough to stand out clearly, and is difficult to read.

Helps me as a supplement to my Russian 1 class and Living Language course. I get to point out the items in Russian so I learn to think of items in Russian. Great for adults (and kids).

I speak Russian and bought this for my 4 year old son. I should have paid better attention to the description but I bought it quickly based on the price and overall reviews. I do not think this is appropriate for preschool. The pictures are very detailed with a lot of pictures and a preschooler could never color that. Also, you need someone who can speak Russian to explain what the words mean. I don't really know who the target audience would be. I think a 7 year old girl might like it to color and then have someone practice the vocabulary, but I don't know many boys who would enjoy coloring it. Also, as kids get older you need a better book to have at least some verbs and expressions besides vocabulary. I see this more as a coloring book with some Russian vocab as a bonus. I am thinking of coloring it in myself, and/or copying the sheets and using them to color a little at a time, focusing on a few words at a time.

A great coloring book to help someone to learn nouns in Russian! The book is black and white on a sturdy paper. The words are only available in Russian, but because they are paired with pictures the meaning is clear, what is more---the words are nouns, so there is no confusion at all.

Very helpless book with black and white pictures, and Russian descriptions only. My kids don't even like to coloring this book. Very much images on one page which is confusing for them. Very disappointed.

We are trying to teach my best friends 4 year old son Russian as she is from Russia! This book is AMAZING! It is so cheap it is accurate! We are buying multiples 5 star isn’t enough! This could be used for other ages though even a college kid just learning Russian

Puede enseñar y a la vez iluminar con crayon o lapices de color. Excelente material didactico

Highly overpriced with little usefulness.

I liked the way the book benefits a visual learner and helps embed to memory. This is a tried and tested method in Early Learning

It's a book for Russian mother-tongue children, definitely not a "effective way for students of Russian to build and strengthen their vocabulary"

I was expecting more from this book but the print is just horrible - The Printing is too light and faded in places so you can not really read what the Russian text is saying - Do bother wating money on this
