Review
"The technical presentation of the Workbook is excellent, and the amount of information and scope for practice and self-assessment is considerable. Not only is there something here to satisfy most pedagogical approaches, but nothing is presented dogmatically .... We have to be grateful to the author for the sensible and challenging volumes which he has produced particularly in the last four years, not only because of their intrinsic value but because they provide a readily available core on which the teaching and learning of the Russian language can be ready, to 'lift off' once more. J. Ian Press, Dept of Russian, University of St. Andrews
"This book will be particularly usefl for post-A-level or post-Higher students at university, because it will help them systematise and deepen their knowledge of grammar, while at the same time widening their Russian vocabulary .... All in all, Terence Wade's A Russian Grammar Workbook is an extremely interesting and useful textbook, and I shall recommend it to all my students. Irish Slavonic Studies, No. 17
"An outstanding contribution to Russian studies .... I am sure it will quickly become an essential handbook for all serious students of Russian in the English-speaking world and beyond." Dr Margaret Tejerizo, University of Glasgow
"Terence Wade's A Comprehensive Russian Grammar rapidly became a standard text for students after its publication in 1992. The present volume complements the Grammar but can be used either in conjunction with it or independently. Over 230 exercises reflect every grammatical point and include grammatical quizzes and translation texts. The book is well set out with clear, largish print for ease of perusal." British East-West Journal

A Russian Grammar Workbook offers a structured and stimulating approach to the study of Russian at all levels.

An indispensable companion to the Wade grammar book,
This review is from: A Russian Grammar Workbook (Paperback)
There is little to say about this workbook that the editorial review does not cover. If you are a student of Russian at university, or if you are serious about learning this challenging language by yourself, then you would do well to have a grammar book and workbook like the Wade combo to work through. It is directly linked to what you learn in the grammar, and if you are one of those die-hard language learner types who can actually work your way through a grammar book from cover to cover, then having the workbook to practise and expand upon the grammar points in a great bonus. It will turn what is, esentially a reference work into a practice work. Although, personally, I do not think the grammar book covers all that it should (read my review of it for more details) for high level students, it does cover a lot and this workbook makes it all the more worthwhile. There is no short cut to Russian grammar, no matter what other titles that proport to make Russian and its grammar quick or easy. This work makes no such claims either. It is a serious grammar workbook that really puts you through your paces. It will give even the hardened linguist a thorough and challenging workout, and will take several weeks of dedicated study to plough through so don't expect an easy ride. I suppose it needs to be said that if you expect an easy ride, you shouldn't be considering learning Russian anyway.

This review is from: A Russian Grammar Workbook (Paperback)
I am at a low to intermediate level of knowledge of the Russian language. This book is far too complicated for me. It has an extraordinary amount of rules and exceptions to rules, which, for people who already know the language very well, may be quite useful; for me it is impossible to follow.
