This is a very nice set, a phrase book and a CD. Both items come in a nice and sturdy case/cover, which is slightly bigger than a CD. It's very portable. I downloaded the CD on to my MP3 player and listen to it while traveling. The book fits in my pocket in case I want to reference it, which makes it very handy on the road.The product is for travelers to provide them with basic set of words and phrases in Russian. It is not and does not claim to be a tool to teach Russian grammar nor to be a comprehensive resource for Russian phrases. It's pretty basic, covering topics from introductions, travel and transportation, money, lodging, communication to food and shopping to name a few. Besides the phrases the book also includes a brief pronunciation guide and two way dictionary (which is pretty basic). But for under 10 dollars, this is a great value.I purchased this to help me refresh my Russian vocabulary and get used to hearing the language again. And it's been helpful. I really like the way the CD is done. It first tells you the word or phrase in English and then twice in Russian. The first time in Russian it's pronounced really slooowly and the second time slightly slower than regular speech. The slow pronunciation will be most appreciated by beginners, but I like the fact that it says it in English first and then repeats it twice in Russian. This way you can listen to it without having to follow along in a book. I've purchased other book+CD language sets from other publishers and some of those do not do that. In those cases you turn on the CD and there comes a barrage of foreign words or phrases, one after another. Which means that unless you remember all the words (in which case you'd probably not need to listen to the CD in the first place...
