Dear Friends,

I have been receiving requests about the less difficult ways to learn a few basic Russian words and phrases from those who only need Russian for their short trips to the Russian speaking countries once in a while. If you are one of such people, you are very welcome to share your learning goals with me, and I will help you find the best resources for fast and effective learning.

You are welcome to check the Romantic Russian Phrase Book — a simple huide to the most needed Russian words and phrases for those who are about to take short trips to Russia and meet local people there. One cannot learn to speak Russian fluently in a few days or weeks, but it is possible to protect yourself by having a great ‘assistant’ at all times right at hand during your trip: a book of phrases (with translations) to use in daily situations during your visit to Russia.

If the book still looks too long for you, please contact me personally , and we will select even a simpler way for you to reach the goal of being able to communicate with Russians during your trip.

I wish you to have a wonderful and successful trip to the Russian speaking world!
