			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m always on the look-out for some good books to help me learn some Russian. One of my favorites is &#8220;A Phrase and Sentence Dictionary of Spoken Russian&#8221; (Dover Publications).</p>
<p><center><a title="Dictionary of Spoken Russian" href="http://passionforrussian.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/dictionary_of_spoken_russian1.JPG" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-137" title="Dictionary of Spoken Russian" src="http://passionforrussian.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/dictionary_of_spoken_russian1.JPG" alt="Dictionary of Spoken Russian" width="400" height="533.33" /></a></center></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not very comprehensive, so it&#8217;s best for beginners. But I don&#8217;t consider myself a beginner and I use it all the time.  For every entry, there is a short definition, followed by a few sentences so you can see the word in action! Even for advanced students this can be a lot easier than trying to make sense of phrases like &#8220;что на что кому чего&#8221; that are given in most dictionaries.</p>
<p>If you like the smell of used books as much as I do, pick up a copy for under $5.00 at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Phrase-Sentence-Dictionary-Spoken-Russian/dp/0486204960#noop/" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a>. (New copies also available.)</p>
