Summary: Teach Yourself Russian Conversation
Comment: This is the third product from the "Teach Yourself Russian..." series that I have purchased and they are all outstanding! I have purchased other products by Pimsleur and Rosetta Stone to try to learn Russian but this series is the best I have found.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not bad
Comment: I haven't made it too far into this yet. This is because I also purchased the Learn Russian in Your Car series which I have found to be more to my taste.
The very first section in this course is quite repetitive to the point where I was losing interest fast. There are only so many times you can listen to and repeat the exact same conversation over and over. I would have preferred the course designer include more lessons rather than put so much repetition on the CD. If one nees to repeat something, that is fairly easy to do on modern day CD players.
My one big complaint about this course is that the inluded course text does not have the conversations in cyrillic (Russian). It is all spelled out phonetically in English. My opinion is that it should have both.
Overall, it is a good course for basic conversational Russian. For me, I've been reading the Penguin book at home, and then using the Learn Russian in your Car course which I like a lot. This course, Ive not been using as much, but I think if I hadn't also purchased the others, that I would be satisfied with this one.

Summary: Nice addition
Comment: This set will be a nice addition to your library if you learn Russian for the first year. As a Russian language teacher I think these CDs can help you to improve the basic Russsian conversation skills BUT a big minus of this set is that all Russian conversations are given in English transcription along with the translation. I am converting for my students these conversations in original language because if you are serious about learning any language you should be able to read it. Otherwise these CDs are not a bad buy.
