Have you been trying to learn Russian and simply can’t find the way to expand your vocabulary? Do your teachers recommend you boring textbooks and complicated stories that you don’t really understand? Are you looking for a way to learn the language quicker without taking shortcuts? If you answered “Yes!” to at least one of those previous questions, then this book is for you! We’ve compiled the 2000 Most Common Words in Russian , a list of terms that will expand your vocabulary to levels previously unseen. Did you know that — according to an important study — learning the top two thousand (2000) most frequently used words will enable you to understand up to 84% of all non-fiction and 86.1% of fiction literature and 92.7% of oral speech? Those are amazing stats, and this book will take you even further than those numbers! In this book: A detailed introduction with tips and tricks on how to improve your learning A list of 2000 of the most common words in Russian and their translations An example sentence for each word – in both Russian and English Finally, a conclusion to make sure you’ve learned and supply you with a final list of tips Don’t look any further, we’ve got what you need right here! In fact, we’re ready to turn you into a Russian speaker… are you ready to become one? Review: Great little book for building vocabulary! - 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. Review: Practical Vocabulary Guide - 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.

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

Learn more Vocab and grammar too!!
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!!

Excellent book for acquiring a solid working vocabulary
Excellent book to use to build a solid working vocabulary. However, it is necessary to know the basics of Russian grammar in order to gain from using the book, so you will need a companion grammar book. I happen to like The New Penguin Russian Course

It's a decent start, but you need much more to learn Russian.
I'm divided on this. Not bad. Most people learn better if the words and concepts are grouped together. This is all over the place. This lacks multi-spaced learning to heap the words sink in. Also, no pronunciation guide. This is not a full waist of money. But like learning any other foreign languages you need to combine multiple strategies and resources.

I think it will be useful
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.

Increase your Russian vocabulary.
A book of the 2,000 most commonly used words in Russian, with a sentence as an example for each word. This book is very useful for building vocabulary, and showing you how to used particular words. It is well writtten and the grammar is correct. I'd say this book is useful for intermediate level students of Russian.

英露の比較最高です。
ロシア語に慣れるために今まで学習してきた英語と比較で覚えられることはとても効果的だと思う。ロシア語は今、最も学ぶべき言語である。

Eine sehr gute und empfehlenswerte Methode
Eine der besten Methoden eine Fremdsprache zu erlernen. Man lernt ganze Sätze und neue Wörter im Kontext - viel schneller und angenehmer als nur einzelne Wörter ohne Zusammenhang.
