Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 500 pages packed with 200 grammar topics and over 3000 annotated examples, Bootstrap Russian Grammar provides a comprehensive grounding in the fundamentals of Russian grammar using a proven highly effective systematic and incremental method. Starting from the beginning, the idea is progress in small self-contained steps (called 'topics'). Each topic builds on the last, by incrementally adding new grammatical patterns, new vocabulary and lots and lots of useful examples. Bootstrap Russian Grammar proves that a solid grounding in grammar basics is the key to mastering a second language. Grammatical rules and concepts are clearly with one topic building on the next - reenforcing the patterns learned earlier while introducing incrementally new material. Hundreds of new words are introduced alongside the grammar to help learners quickly build their Russian speaking and comprehension prowess. Each topic includes a thorough explanation of the grammar and then lots of examples that illustrate the grammar. Each example includes an English translation, as well as notes highlighting how each example illustrates that topic's grammar, as well as the meanings of new Russian words. THE COMPANION MOBILE APP A companion mobile application is now available called "Bootstrap Russian Grammar".
