I studied it for 2 months and then i was able to correspond with Russian native speakers.They were very much impressed by my Russian. I wish i had bought this dictionary before. It is...

Katzner English-Russian dictionary

Very good, because it is American-Russian compared to English-Russian. Binding is not the greatest, but biggest shortfall is that American slang is not included, nor common earthy words that are widely used in American Lexicon, so I would say that its approach is a bit Victorian in a 21st...

Simply Perfect; Only imperfection not a pocket size -- otherwise: THIS IS THE ONE

I'm usually a verbose reviewer. Here there is no need to be. The Russian teacher's review is accurate. But let's just be simple, here: this dictionary -- other than not being a pocket size -- is absolute perfection in every aspect of a dictionary in general and a bilingual dictionary in...

Learning Russian is easier with this dictionary!

This dictionary is amazing. I bought it to use in conjunction with Rosetta Stone's Russian courses and I couldn't be happier. I am learning Russian a lot faster now than before the dictionary because I can look up most of the words from the Rosetta program. If you are a serious student of Russian...

Great Dictionary

This is a great dictionary. In fact, my husband and I have had this dictionary for almost 10 years and stupidly I left it out in the rain a day or two ago. Needless to say, I placed an order for a replacement immediately through Amazon. I would not even consider another dictionary. I bought...

english-russian dictionary

Very Solid Dictionary

The best Russian-English resource I have found outside of having an actual interpreter. The book is easy to navigate, does not dumb-down while providing adequate examples and phraseology to illustrate the usage of each term with a focus on high-use words. The Russian-English equivalent to the...

For Americans

Even though we say we speak english, typical "english" dictionaries use british definitions. If you're from America, you speak American english and this is the only book on the market that clearly uses American-to-Russian and vica-versa definitions for words as well as idioms and phrases. I...

A must have!

This is a great - an indispensable - reference for anyone learning Russian and for advanced speakers too. Advanced speakers would have other reference books also, but I'm sure that this dictionary cannot be outgrown. The layout is excellent with declensions for adjectives, conjugation hints,...

Best Russian-English dictionary I have ever used

This is by far the best dictionary we have ever found. We have used at least a dozen different dictionaries. My wife teaches Russian langauage to American born children and a good dictionary is very important.
