Thread: Where can I find a good text book?

I'm studying Russian on my own. I know the basics: cases, declensions, gender, etc. I have found a lot of good textbooks, but none of them give the answers to the exercises. I studied before with a beginner level book which had answers, and it was very helpful. Now I'm trying to find a intermediate book with an answer key. Any advice?

Did you use this yet? Read the reviews for it and see if it fits your level. It is better then most University text books and much cheaper.

I've been learning mostly on my own for about 2 months and I highly recommend the penguin book linked above, it's a great resource. With that book and a native speaker to help you with pronunciation you can do a lot.

I'm studying Russian at the university; my text book has been
written by my professors (in Italy we follow language lessons
with 2 teachers, the official prof. and the lettore, a kind of
associate native-speaker teacher) and its name is "La Lingua
Russa del 2000". It does explain grammatic really clearly, but
actually it does not contain much exercises, so I had to bought
another book full of taskes, to get prepared to an exam.
I have to say, it seems easy to me to study Russian with this
material...
