nouns anyone?
By Robert Shuler
I learned a few words, like rooms in the house, using the method of this book, which mostly emphasizes nouns. But without the ability to make conversation, I cannot now a few months later remember any of them. And without grammar and practice listening and speaking, Russians cannot actually understand me. It is useful for learning question words. That is how it earned three stars.
