Werkhaupt, G: Russian Reader -

Résumé :
Excerpt from Russian Reader: With Exercises of Conversation The alphabetic vocabulary at the end of this volume gives the pronunciation of each word for those who are obliged to avail themselves of our book without the help of a teacher. As the Russian pronunciation differs in many points from that of any other modern language, it would have been impossible, to employ one of the current systems to mark the pronunciation, or to adapt it to the use of the Russian language. The author of this English edition has therefore been obliged to invent a proper system. Of course this system could not be meant for a study of the phonetic subtilities of the Russian language: the author's chief object has been the greatest possible simplicity; and he has therefore restricted him self to the absolutely necessary.
