Excerpt from 100 Russian Verbs in Common Use, and 1, 000 of Their Compound Forms One of the chief difficulties in learning the Russian language consists in the length and complexity of its compound words. The object of this booklet is to help the beginner to overcome this difficulty, to Show, indeed, that these long words, which appear to him to be stumbling-blocks, may be turned into stepping-stones across the stream of his ignorance. Brought to a stand by a word of many syllables, the natural thing to do is to look it up in a dictionary. Having ascertained its meaning, the student applies it for his immediate purpose, and then, probably, at once forgets it.
