Russian for Dumm!e$

Now, Russian For Dumm!e$ won’t make you a fluent reader of Dostoevsky in the original (most Russians themselves need somewhat of a preparation for that). It will, however, equip you with phrases necessary to function in many life situations, from shopping to visiting the theater. And little gems of cultural wisdom offered throughout the book help you not only translate the language, but also understand Russians so much better. So, buckle up, and good luck on your journey! Or, as the Russians like to say,

Zhelayem vam udachi! (zhih-lah-eem vahm oo-dah-chee; We wish you good luck!).
