Good book, basic words. Has pictures with Russian words at the bottom of the pictures, with immediate translation in English. Would be better if it also had "Russian" word written with English letters too so my 7 year old could try to figure it out and for his reviews. This book is more entertaining to my son then my daughter. I don't see how it is possible to use this book without someone who can speark/read Russian to help you, at the very minimum you'd need to know the Russian letters and sounds they make to be able to make out the words. Bought it for my children (5 and 7) along with some cartoons in Russian, and language teaching CDs to listen to in the house (like "drive and learn" style), and Russian language teaching DVDs (like Rosetta Stone) for them to watch while driving around. The combination of all four plus my talking to them in Russian seems to be SLOWLY working. I didn't teach them when they were tiny babies, now I have to play catch up. I'd estimate 6 months for us for basic conversation level if they don't lose interest doing solid 30 minutes a day with this book and AZBUKA (teaches Russian ABCs and all animals that are associated with each letter) and watching something in Russian every day. We've been onto it for over a month, maybe 5-6 weeks, and I think they are about at 80 words, very random words, can't make out a sentense yet, but we are trying. My son would say: "poshli dom" instead of "poshli domoi" (let's go home), or "ya voda" (I water). Have to be consistent, it is part of our evening routine now.
