5.0 out of 5 stars Solid introduction with great audio material, 27 Nov 2008
By R. WEST-SOLEY "raldon" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
The strength of this course is undoubtedly the extensive audio material provided - this is suggested by the fact that the whole pack seems geared towards the provided CDs, the coursebook almost being secondary in the pint-size course box. The book itself is by no means light on detail, however, providing ample explanations, vocabulary and drills to support the listening material.

The course is intensive but well-paced, with each chapter focussing on a couple of key grammatical structures and vocabulary topics. It's certainly thorough, and by the end of it you should have a good, working knowledge of Russian (as opposed to a handful of set phrases, which you might expect from some beginner courses).

A nice touch is the story at the end of each section, which comprises a kind of tongue-in-cheek Russian soap opera with dramatic twists and turns providing a bit of extra listening practice.

Well recommended for a serious beginners' first steps into Russian, or as a refresher course for those who studied Russian some time ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply The Best, 5 Oct 2008
By Mark Mcbride - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have bought many different courses and books/dictionaries in an attempt to learn Russian. I can honestly say this is the best available. A well thought out approach with excellent audio examples. Simply the best.

2.0 out of 5 stars Starts off well, but then left me behind, 23 May 2009
By James Levi (Almaty, Kazakhstan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a complete novice to Russian I found that the course started off very well and was a good introduction to the basics. Unfortunately it then seemed to make a leap at the end of Chapter 2 and lost me with Chapter 3, despite my repetition of the earlier content. This may be an effective course for an accomplished language learner, but for a language "idiot" it did not work.
