It will work for the first time

I bought it for my mom to learn English but it was helpful for me as well. Great basics for everyday use + awesome that it has a translation in our native language.

This book arrived quickly & in great condition, is very useful helping an ESL student to learn english.

Many legal immigrants from former Soviet republics can use this as stepping stone into 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.

Great book with a lot of pictures to help translate and learn English.

In many instances, Russian words are not words used by native Russian speakers (for “lunch” they use ленч instead of обед). No accent marks are provided, so learners have to look elsewhere for pronunciation; I tried to add accent marks myself, but kept finding Russian translations were poor anyway. Phrases are presented in the imperative form form in English (“Peel the carrots.”) but translated into the infinitive form in Russian (“to peel carrots”). Please know this dictionary is useless for learners of Russian. I hope it is helpful for learners of English. The description on the cover should make this more clear. Page X reveals this book is for English language learners.
