Dirty Russian: Second Edition by Erin Coyne
You already know enough Russian to get by, but you want to be able to tell those inside jokes, greet your friends in a laid-back manner, and casually pick someone up at a bar. From 'what's up?' to 'Wanna go home with me?' Dirty Russian will teach you how to speak like you're a regular on the streets of Moscow. But you'll also discover material that goes beyond a traditional phrasebook, including: Hilarious insults, provocative facts, explicit swear words, themed Russian cocktails, and more! Next time you're travelling to Russia, pick up this book, drop the textbook formality, and get dirty!
Erin Coyne has held various jobs in Russia including a Peace Corps volunteer and an NGO program director in Ukraine and Armenia. She has spent more nights drinking on the streets of Moscow than she will ever admit to and filling far too much time taking long train trips through Eastern Europe, going to concerts, and hanging out in seedy bars and rock clubs doing research. She is currently working on a PhD in Slavic Linguistics at UC Berkeley. Erin's husband Igor Fisun is a native of Kiev, Ukraine where he worked for a several years in water bottling factory before quitting his 9-5 to pursue freelance engraving. He currently hangs out in Berkeley bars teaching the clientele how to curse in Russian.
