Customer Reviews

Echoing the others
I read the other reviews and thinking Amazon probably had a batch with printing errors, I found the same book at a brick and mortar competitor and, sure enough, no accent marks on a single page. Obviously a publisher printing error, right? Kind of makes the book useless.

A place to start.
Schaum's Outline of Russian Vocabulary would be useful to a student during the very earliest introduction to Russian. This book's material is duplicated in other introductions to the language. An advantage of these outlines is the large number of excersises for practice, all with answers.

some glaring issues, but otherwise ok
I bought this book after purchasing the truly stellar "Schaum's Outline of Russian Grammar" expecting this to be of the same quality. The book *is* useful and *does* have a lot of information packed in there, and the organizational structure does have some good ideas that make the exercises (which are good) hang together well. I have two main problems with the book beyond this. First, you are absolutely sand blasted with vocab. This may be good or bad, depending on your point of view, but I found it to mostly be bad, because it wasn't designed with absorption/acquisition in mind. I think this would be a great review or refresher for someone who was already very advanced with both grammar and vocabulary. Not so much for somebody trying to build up to that point.

The bigger problem is that unlike the Grammar Outline, or basically any other Russian course on the market, the vocabulary is presented without any accent marks. I can't imagine why they did this, since a word's stress is so critical to developing proper Russian pronunciation (much more so than for say, English or Spanish). Especially since stress shifts in case endings or verb conjugations can lead to hilarious or tragic misunderstandings or no understanding at all, this decision just doesn't make any sense to me.
