[Joe Bruno · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good product for people studying russian on their own. There are any number of books out there with simple stories that beginning intermediate students can read without too much difficulty. This has simple stories with day-to-day vocabulary that you sometimes don't get in a textbook. This book alternates russian and english paragraphs. I don't know it that is a more effective way of presenting the material or not but you don't have to flip around to look up unfamiliar words.

I bought this on amazon in kindle form for a three bucks or so, it is not long, but I think it is more than worth it. Another thing I do for material is to read online russian newspapers and toggle the chrome translation when I need help. This is similar to that but with simpler writing and targeted vocabulary. Books like this are helpful to look back at now and again but don't replace textbooks.
