Publisher's Summary:
The Learn in Your Car language series is the first system ever designed to teach a language in your car...or anywhere...without a textbook. Simple and effective, you can learn to converse in another language while driving, walking, or doing tasks around the house. And now with Learn in Your Car from audible.com, you can turn any mobile device into your own personal language tutor.
Each course is organized the way you learn best - by learning words and phrases - and building these into sentences and clear conversations. Arrange hotel accommodations, order in restaurants, change money, and feel more at home next time you travel!
The Learn in Your Car language series is:
Level 1 offers an introduction to key words, numbers, phrases, sentence structure, and basic grammar.
Level 2 teaches more challenging vocabulary, additional grammar, and targeted sentences designed to generate confidence in your ability to comprehend and converse.

Members Reviews:
Attempt to buy the booklet.
I've been using this download and agree that it has been very useful. However I've been attempting to purchase the booklet for over a month, with no success. I call the 800 number and just get a series of voice mail choices. E-mails to Penton Customer Service are not returned. Their web site allows me to purchase the booklet as part of the CD set, but by itself.
Good for post-Pimsleur revision
If you have not already had previous experience with the Russian language, then this is not for you as it will befuddle you and probably turn you off the language. It is simply a dictionary of Russian words and phrases read by a Russian woman and an American man who sounds bored to tears. In this course there is no real method to learning Russian; it simply presents the information and its up to you to learn yourself.
If you are starting out, I highly recommend Pimsleur as it starts from basics and actually teaches you the language with a really great method for learning.
However, the great thing about this course is that once you have a good grasp of Russian, it is invaluable in revising and solidifying what you have already learnt, and providing you with tons of new words and phrases that Pimsleur glossed over.
It is a fantastic way to expand you Russian vocabulary, and for like $13, who can say nyet.
not worth the hassle
What disappointed you about Learn in Your Car: Russian, Level 1?
Lack of booklet and complications of burning to disk.
The booklet that supports Learn In Your Car disks is an extremely convenient and well designed aid to the audio. But converting the downloadable PDF file to booklet format is more expensive in time and effort than the price of the whole program. Originally it was possible to order the booklet from Penton Overseas, but they have been out of business for a long time.
When I burned the download to a disk, the result was 8-minute segments that did not correspond to the natural subject breakdown of the original tracks.
