THIS ISN'T A PHRASEBOOK! BUT RATHER THIS IS A SYSTEM DESIGNED TO TEACH THE READER HOW TO COMBINE WORDS IN ORDER TO CREATE THEIR OWN SENTENCES!
THIS BOOK DOESN'T CONTAIN ANY WORDS IN THE CYRILLIC ALPHABET! ALL RUSSIAN WORDS, IN BOTH THE KINDLE AND PAPERBACK VERSION OF THIS BOOK, WERE WRITTEN IN ENGLISH-TRANSLITERATION!
Have you always wanted to learn how to speak Russian but simply didn't have the time?
Well if so, then, look no further. You can hold in your hands one of the most advanced and revolutionary method that was ever designed for quickly becoming conversational in a language. In creating this time-saving program, master linguist Yatir Nitzany spent years examining the twenty-seven most common languages in the world and distilling from them the three hundred and fifty words that are most likely to be used in real conversations. These three hundred and fifty words were chosen in such a way that they were structurally interrelated and, when combined, form sentences. Through various other discoveries about how real conversations work--discoveries that are detailed further in this book--Nitzany created the necessary tools for linking these words together in a specific way so that you may become rapidly and almost effortlessly conversant--now.
If your desire is to learn complicated grammatical rules or to speak perfectly proper and precise Russian, this book is not for you. However, if you need to actually hold a conversation while on a trip to Russia, to impress that certain someone, or to be able to speak with your grandfather or grandmother as soon as possible, then the Nitzany Method is what you have been looking for. This method is designed for fluency in a foreign language, while communicating in the present tense. Nitzany believes that what's most important is actually being able to understand and be understood by another human being right away. Therefore, unlike other courses, all words in this program are taught in English transliteration, without having to learn the complex Cyrillic alphabet. More formalized training in grammar rules, etc., can come later. This isn't a pronunciation book. Thus, this book is recommended for those with prior knowledge in pronunciation of the Russian language. However, for those who aren't previously familiar, this book does provide some basic tools to teach pronunciation.
You will notice in this program that occasionally the endings of certain Russian words change slightly depending on di
