This practical working manual is a valuable tool to speakers of Russian who want to develop English-language conversational skills. Specially designed for Russian students attending English-language classes, or for those studying American English independently, this book offers a perfect method for the acquisition of a useful working knowledge of English and honing conversational fluency. The handy dual-language format of this learning aid makes it equally valuable to Americans studying Russian.
A series of typical dialogues spoken by Americans reflects real-life situations: asking for directions, making telephone calls, preparing for a job interview, opening a bank account, shopping, visiting the doctor, eating out, and many more. Each sentence is presented in English and Russian, often with a supplemental vocabulary section accompanying the dialogues. In addition, an appendix following the dialogues contains practical guidelines and suggestions for writing resumes and business letters.
