Customer Reviews

Excellent source to study language ( intermediate level)

I was a teacher of English in Ukraine and I always used well-illustrated and informative books working with kids. This is a good example of such book! I will strongly recommend it as a good source for kids!

Dedicated to whom is intermediate students in Russian

I suggest to all students this dictionary, because it gives us the proper argumentations to discuss together our teacher or ourself.

great for learning English

I'm an ESL teacher, and I've had two Russian-speaking students request this book. It's well laid out, and the illustrations are clear and colorful. I don't read Cyrillic, but the other reviewer mentioned a mis-translation; hopefully such errors are few. The book is very well made. In some cases, I felt that the English words were more European than American, but still understandable. Overall, a great tool for learning tons of English words on your own.

Wide array of scenarios

There are 168 pages of different scenarios pictured. Each item in the picture is tagged with a number. The numbers are listed on the bottom of the page with the English and Russian spelling. So, it helps if you already understand how to read Cyrillic letters. The only thing I'm not 100% sure about is the Geography listing on page 124 has an incorrect Russian Translation for South America. They listed it as Þæíàÿ Àôðèêà - South Africa. So I don't know if there are any other small mistakes like this since I haven't gone through the whole thing yet. Other than that, this is a good choice.
