 Better Verb Usage October 24, 2008
Glenn Smith (Columbus, Ohio United States)
I have been studying Russian for 10 years. Anyone from Beginner and up will find this book useful. It is very good in showing motion verbs - uni-directional & multi-directional. It can be used to find a pattern for any regular verb not already listed in the book. It is especially useful in finding the irregular forms. The 501 title is a misnomer. If you know the verbs in this book you will be able to confidently speak conversational Russian. The layout of the pages provides a clear and concise understanding of the relationship between the Perfective and Imperfective forms. Each entry provides the accents which are so important to clear speech. There is a dictionary in the back of the book which allows you to find words. Used in concert with 5,000 Russian Words (another publication) and Katzner's Russian/English dictionary you are well equipped to learn and translate from either English or Russian.
 Book is not very well bound August 4, 2008
T. Davis (Seattle, WA)
This is a great resource. It's very helpful and well organized but unfortunately, the binding is poor. My copy has been used only a couple of months and it's literally falling apart.

The 501 Series is excellent for learners of all other foreign languages. I would highly recommend this book and other books in its series under different foreign languages.
 Verb book with out examples...... June 28, 2007

I rented 501 French Verbs from the library. For each verb it had examples of usage. The French book also had idiom phrases, quizzes, etc... Liked it so much I bought it from Amazon.
So I rented 501 Russian Verbs from the library expecting similar content as the French version. What a difference. If you really need a book that shows you how to conjugate 501 Russian verbs without context and without examples, this book is for you.
Honestly how can you have a Russian verb book that covers verbs of motions with one or two word English translations. Completely worthless for learning how to use the verbs.
The differences between perfective and imperfective require examples to begin to make any sense of the usage.
The only reason I can think of for the positive reviews is that it must have been a classroom assignment for extra credit.
Very good April 15, 2007

I got the "501 Russian verbs..." book for my sister who is learning Russian. She says that the book is helpful, detailed, and informative. It is a very good book.
