Wouldn't it be cool to tell your friends next week that you know more than thousand Russian words? This book is for the reader who simply wants to have fun and build Russian vocabulary based on similarity between English and Russian words quickly. Languages have words which can be traced back to sources in other countries. Many languages borrow/ adopt words from each other. Some words are constructed from the classical ancient languages, such as Latin or Greek. Other words are borrowed from indigenous people. Most of these words can be called "international" because their versions are used in many European languages and often are cross-cultural. Despite the language people speak, all of them will understand, for example, the word mama. The purpose of this book was to share the words that sound the same (or almost the same) in English and Russian languages and have similar meaning. You can start from fun picture quizzes with your friends and see who will know more Russian words. So, what are you waiting for?
