An excellent book for practicing my Russian when I’m away from my PC. Conjugation is the most difficult part for me, and the book contains good conjugation tables. The pages also have plenty of blank space to make it easy for readers to write down their own notes. Whoever designed this book knew how to do it. VERY useful!
