Learning Russian presents a special challenge, as the alphabet itself is so different from our own, but this visual English/Russian dictionary provides the words with their Cyrillic script and also a phonetic pronunciation. Much like an illustrated word book, this innovative language tool teaches foreign vocabulary for readers 5 to 10, presenting 500 pictures with one-word captions in both English and Russian. The illustrations are taken from a variety of vintage sources, giving them an appealing old-fashioned look.
