Note that a dictionary will be useless if it isn’t geared toward the user’s purpose. So, if you need a dictionary to help you find words for a class in Russian law, you will need a specialized dictionary with Russian legal words and terms. Buying a standard student dictionary will not give the reader what he or she needs. Most learners need a standard bilingual Russian dictionary. Many monolingual dictionaries are also available–so it’s best to double check the title and description to be sure you are getting the dictionary you need.
