As someone struggling to learn Russian, this book has been a game-changer! The parallel English-Russian layout saves so much time compared to flipping pages.

The audio component is a huge plus - hearing native pronunciation while reading has dramatically improved my accent. I love practicing during my morning commute!

The size is perfect - slips right into my work bag without adding bulk. No more excuses for not studying!

My only complaint? I wish there were more texts! The 25 included leave me wanting more content at this perfect difficulty level.

Pro tip: Use sticky notes to cover the English side when you're ready to test your comprehension. The clean layout makes this easy!
