Russian Without Burden

The book is deliberately conceived as a tool: the authors have gathered typical mistakes in speech, both written and spoken, explained them in simple language, and packaged them in a form understandable to the reader — with the help of... mnemonic poems and almost 120 amusing and memorable illustrations, anyone will learn to distinguish "in general" from "generally," "to dress" from "to put on," and even "as a result" from "afterwards." Do you think that the Russian language is boring and meaningless? It's not surprising, as the red pen and dictation are all that most of us remember from school days. Meanwhile, we continue to write and write — for work, for business, for no reason. And the quality of speech has long become a pass into the world of necessary requirements: increasingly, questions are resolved by written, rather than spoken, words. Communication is turning into text, and it requires hygiene.
