Schaum's Outline of Russian Grammar

Schaum's Outline of Russian Grammar by Dr James Levine is the best source available for students of this challenging language. I began using this book as an undergraduate student of Russian. I have since lived in Russia and am currently employed as a translator. As such, I have used this book while in the infancy of my study of the language (e.g. I barely knew the alphabet) to today (i.e. working as a Russian-English translator). I can readily attest to the great frequency in which I still consult the pages of Russian Grammar.
My highest recommendation stands by this work: A great source for beginners, intermediate, advanced and teachers of Russian.

I bought this book because I wanted some books to study, after I finished Beginning Russian, by Richard Leed and Alexander Nakhimovsky. I have not yet finished, so I haven't started reading and studying from this book yet. But the book looks comprehensive, and a good complement and continuation of my basic Russian studies.

It is a very well written and well explained rules of this difficult language. It is staight foreward to the point explantion of all the grammatical rules that are needed to learn or even master the Russian Language. It makes a perfect complementary book for a textbook of learning the language. The only thing that I wish it had was if it had come with an audio cd as an outline of all the rules to hear how words especially at the end,change pronounciation under different cases. The price was right given how good the book was.

I had purchased this gramma book for myself over a year ago. Found explanations and exercises strengthened by Russian skills. Only let down being there was not a dictionary in the back of the text for the words used throughout. Nevertheless this is a very useful text to have and therefore purchased an identical copy for a very dear friend who is doing Russian.

A good book, but...why does the author use italics to highlight the words he is trying to make some grammatical point about? I know I need to eventually learn italics (5 small Russian letters don't look anything like the standard letters) but not now.
