Russian Vocabulary - 2000 Most Common Words in Russian Language
Site is aimed at helping English Language speakers to learn Russian Language but also can be used by Russian native speakers who are Learning English.
Words are taken from
The frequency dictionary for Russian. Source states that 2000 most frequent
words covers 72% of word forms in texts (in modern Russian Language).
For Russian to English translation I used following dictionaries: Wiktionary,
Multitran, Rambler-Словари and
Babel Fish Translation
2000 most commonly used Russian words are sorted by their frequency of use (word usage) and broken down in 100 lists of 20 words each. Each word includes its part of speech and English translation. Click on any word in a list(Russian or English) and a new pop-up window(if your browser doesn't block it) will display more comprehensive definition or translation for that word. List of Russian-to-English(for Russian words) and English-to-Russian(for English words) dictionaries and references are listed in two dropdowns, change selection any time and look up same word in a different dictionary.
Each list is followed by a practice quiz-drill where you need to match Russian word to its English translation. Quiz remembers every incorrectly answered question and asks same question again.. and again.. until you answer it correctly, so quiz is completed only when you know all the answers.
In addition, All words are divided by parts of speech.
You may study list of only
Russian Verbs,
Adverbs,
Nouns,
Pronouns,
Adjectives,
Prepositions,
Conjunctions,
Cardinal Numbers,
Ordinal Numbers,
Particles, Predicates and Interjections
and test yourself only on that subgroup of Russian words. Some words, depending on how they are useds, can act as different parts of speech
and will appear simultaneously in different lists. Remember that these lists are not complete and have only words
included in 2000 most used Russian words. For example, Ordinal numbers has only five words!?
I plan to add more lists later.
Have fun learning Russian Vocab with these word matching quizzes.
