Title: Excellent - but you need a foundation in Russian
Review: This is a really good book, given to me by a Russian instructor at DLI. You must have a fairly good foundation in Russian to make it worthwhile - don't get the book and expect it to teach you the cyrillic alphabet - you need to already have that and some pretty good vocabulary. The emphasis is on conversation (of course) but there are bits of grammar put in now and then. Overall, a really good book
