Useful, though simple and a relatively expensive way to learn some basics. - By: Harvey G., 31 Aug 2008
I have GCSE level russian & wanted to recap & learn how to make good conversationin russian. This CD is somewhat basic, as it does not include anything beyond GCSE, & having previously been to russia I found that that is not enough to make decent conversation, although it is enough to get around. I was hoping for some complex conversations with translations which would help me pick up modern russian conversation. You could pick up more by watching a russian film. I suppose this is useful, but its not really russian conversation. More like a simple audio travel phrase book. I would have bought something else had I known.

If Olga Bean is the best Russian tutor in Birmingham, Rachel Farmer is the best CD tutor of Russian - By: Pen, 20 Jun 2008
This had not been reviewed yet, so i can only say that this is a very good addition to Teach Yourself Beginner's Russian, also by Rachel Farmer. I had bought many CD Russian courses... many are by residents of the USA, with their own sloppy version of Russian. Rachel Farmer speaks very clearly & her voice becomes your friend, which is good for not getting stressed when you are listening & learning.... This contains 3 CDs & 44 page reference booklet, following the conversations & quick summary.
