Title: Not for the English student of Russian
Review: Some of these types of vocabulary picture books are designed for native Russian speakers to learn English and not the other way around, but many of us native English speakers buy them in hopes of using them to learn Russian. The main problem with this and similar books is that the Russian words are not stress-marked, an essential feature for learning proper Russian pronunciation. So, you get a lot of words and their associated pictures, but nothing in the way of pronunciation help.That said, one can use this as an exercise in looking up Russian words in a good Russian/English dictionary and page by page, mark the stress yourself. Could be useful in memorizing the vocabulary and make a marginally useful book, more so. Good luck!
