Russian (Paperback)

One of a series designed specifically with the business traveller in mind, this guide has sections on the culture and history of Russia, details of its traditions, business mores (such as when to arrive and how to dress for meetings), and work ethics, as well as the words and phrases that any traveller - business or tourist - needs to get by. Procedures for finding a hotel, understanding telephones, faxes and mail, and setting up and conducting a business meeting are all explained, and there is information on entering the country, getting around in a city, and travelling between cities. Pronunciation and grammar tips and an English/Russian word list of about 3000 words useful in conducting business, as well as colloquial words and phrases, are included at the back of the guide. The author is a grandson of the founder of the Berlitz schools and has written more than 100 language teaching books.
