The Pimsleur Method provides the most effective language-learning program ever developed. The Pimsleur Method gives you quick command of Russian structure without tedious drills. Learning to speak Russian can actually be enjoyable and rewarding. The key reason most people struggle with new languages is that they aren't given proper instruction, only bits and pieces of a language. Other language programs sell only pieces -- dictionaries; grammar books and instructions; lists of hundreds or thousands of words and definitions; audios containing useless drills. They leave it to you to assemble these pieces as you try to speak. Pimsleur enables you to spend your time learning to speak the language rather than just studying its parts. When you were learning English, could you speak before you knew how to conjugate verbs? Of course you could. That same learning process is what Pimsleur replicates. Pimsleur presents the whole language as one integrated piece so you can succeed. With Pimsleur you get: - Grammar and vocabulary taught together in everyday conversation,
- Interactive audio-only instruction that teaches spoken language organically,
- The flexibility to learn anytime, anywhere,
- 30-minute lessons designed to optimize the amount of language you can learn in one sitting.
Millions of people have used Pimsleur to gain real conversational skills in new languages quickly and easily, wherever and whenever -- without textbooks, written exercises, or drills. The 10 lessons in the Basic Russian are the same as the first 10 lessons in the Pimsleur Comprehensive Russian Level 1. The 10 lessons in Basic Russian are also the first 10 lessons in the 16-lesson Conversational Russian edition. Pimsleur learners progress from either the Basic or the Conversational to the Comprehensive Level 1, and not from Basic to Conversational edition. | | | |

Short vocabulary Oct 04, 2008
The number of words taught could have been more. Too much repetition of the same words on the disc impoverish the final number of words taught.
Tks.

 Reasonably effective, and at a good price Sep 15, 2008
This course is slowly paced (which is probably a good thing, Russian is a tough language). The lessons really pound in a few concepts per module, so when you're done your skills won't be broad, but they will be reasonably deep. The other nice thing about this is it's strictly audio, none of this "turn to your books" stuff, which makes it perfect for a commuter. I've used several of these types of courses over the years, and this one is pretty good, as well as reasonably priced.
 very limited scope Jul 27, 2008
This was good as an introduction to the sound/pronunciation of the Russian language, and the repetitiveness does imbed the vocabulary in your mind--but what useless vocabulary! Unless you are a guy traveling to Moscow to pick up a Russian girl (which is unnecessary b/c they will be looking for you regardless of whether you can speak the language) in which case it teaches you to invite her for a drink or out to eat, at a restaurant or "at my place". If you want more, look elsewhere.

 unacceptable Mar 29, 2008
I haven't received anything yet. I will consider it very seriously before I purchase anything on Amazon again.

 Great introduction Dec 02, 2007
This is a great introduction to the Russian language. You won't be able to speak Russian when you're finished, but you'll have a few "catch phrases" to use and a fantastic accent. The repetition is excellent in committing the phrases to memory; very quickly, you find yourself being able to "answer" the prompt, instead of just repeating.
It is by no means sufficient if you are interested in having anything more than an EXTREMELY basic knowledge of the language. But the pronunciation you'll learn, as well as the taste of Russian you get, is insurpassable.
