For winter sports in Russia, this is THE phrasebook to have. Nowhere else will you find such a wealth of phrases, terms and individual words for such activities as downhill skiing, slalom skiing, cross-country skiing, biathlon, ski jumping, snowboarding, ice skating, figure skating, speed skating, ice hockey, bobsleigh, luge, and curling. Plus, there are all the expressions and vocabulary you’ll likely need for tourism, socializing, simple conversations, everyday living and emergency situations. And you won’t find an easier phrasebook to use. No confusing categories: material is organized like in a dictionary, with phrases and terms grouped under the key word(s) that they contain. Russian equivalents of the English are given first in Cyrillic, then in their English phonetic form in blue font. Asterisks in front of key words simplify searches, preventing mass results for a given word. Eleven appendices cover Russian alphabet & pronunciation, Russian grammar, cardinal & ordinal numbers, clock & calendar time, metric measurements, adult heights & weights, clothing sizes, Russian food & drink, and Russian signs & labels. Book size equals 1161 Word document pages.
