Oxford Russian Minidictionary

With 100,000 entries and translations, a phrase finder section, an appendix with spelling rules, declension of adjectives and nouns and conjugation of verbs, this little dictionary is handy yet comprehensive. It is just what I wanted!

I love this Dictionary!!

I have used many russian dictionaries in the past. I am hooked on this one. It has a substantial vocabulary listing - I can always find the word I am looking for. It is small so I can easily carry it everyday. And the cover is durable.

Thorough and Handy

I used this dictionary for 2 years of highschool Russian and it was irreplacable. It is relatively up-to-date so you will find technical terms in it and the appendixes in the back are great. Most of the other people in my class liked it too. Its very small size (about the size of an index card) made it handy to carry around but sometimes the small type was slightly hard to read.

...irreplaceable

What is more important then learn the language? If you agree with that -buy the book! It's execellent!.....Keep it next to the computer! Have few of them....

spellbinding!

A marvellous literary work, by far Oxford's greatest, even surpassing Her famous English Dictionary. It has a mystical attraction that pertinaciously and inexorably draws You in and refuses to release. Well, in any case, this is a very good dictionary, and sadly, i know dictionaries. With an astounding number of entries for its compact size, it is replete with words and boasts several helpful appendices, also abounding in information
