highly recommended

Good content, poor quality.

PROS: The vocabulary cards are extensive and useful. One of the best features is the card gives you the word in English, and ALL the translations based on cases which, if you study Russian, you know can be quite a pain.

CON: The cards are made with poor quality materials. At best, they remind me of badly printed business cards from a home printer. I wanted to be able to grab a handful and carry them with me in my pocket--glancing at them during "down" time throughout the day as an ongoing learning process. Unfortunately, the "cards" are so thin they become badly worn very quickly.

SUMMARY: The cards are worth the 15 dollars--just dont' expect a durable product to arrive.

These are almost useless for beginners.

I knew nothing about Russian or Cyrillic which ever you would like to call it. I bought these cards thinking it would help build my vocabulary, but I got so confused with which endings to learn. It almost made no sense.

Now, After I have bought several books introducing me, "The New Penguin Russian Course: A Complete Course for Beginners (Penguin Handbooks) (Paperback" is the best I've found, they do come in handy. Just like they proclaim, there are much more than 1,000 words.

I rated a 4 of 5 stars because, in the handy-dandy book, I found every word in English I was looking for, but when I tried to look up the Russian word most of the pages were faded. I'm did not say all copies would be like this, although I was extremely irritated.

Cards are not "plastified".

Great cards. The only but is that I think they should be plastified to protect them from spots and dust and make them more durable.
