Customer Reviews

Excellent Resource
Russian grammar can be complicated, but this is an excellent resource for the learner who is struggling to fully get to grips with the sometimes complicated grammar. The guide explains things in a clear way, with simple examples. It doesn't assume too much and is patient. Recommended for anyone serious about learning Russian.

Excellent for quick reference
Russian gramar is not exactly what one would call a simple task to master, therefore you're going to need a very accessible book in order to cope with all its intricacies. Granted, this book is relatively small (at least compared with Mr Wade's other publication on Russian grammar) but don't let that put you off. Every significant area of the language is explored to a reasonable depth although obviously there is little room for extensive verb tables given the 250 page limit. I believe, however, that the author's purpose lies in providing the reader with what is essential for them to use and improve their Russian and the book has certainly managed to achieve that. Definitely the best book available for students doing Russian for GCSE or A-Level and a worthwhile purchase for those studying the language at university. I'd advise serious learners to purchase another book on verbs (there are two excellent publications that are available here on Amazon) but still, Oxford Russian Grammar&Verbs is one of, if not THE, most helpful books I have come across.

NOT FOR NEWBIES!
Great book once you have grasped the basics of the grammar and wish to advance, I would strongly advise against this being your first Russian Book though!
Superb reference book I must say
