Members Reviews:
useful for tourist phrases not much more
Listen and Learn is usually a good series with real-life conversations, vocabulary, grammar and so forth. For some reason, they decided not to update the Russian version, instead presenting a series of tourist phrases from the 1980s that are apparently meant to be memorized by the listener. As such it's useful as a last minute crash preparation for a visitor to Moscow but not much more. If they updated, and followed their usual procedure, I'd recommend it.
Good design, flawed recording
The CD edition is a well-designed survival course in Russian for travellers. One speaker says a phrase in English and a native Russian speaker says the phrase corresponding to this in Russian with a pause for repetition. It uses the standard one repetition format and provides an excellent choice of vocabulary and phrases, many of which you don't get in other such courses. What I found disappointing, however, was that the quality of the recording was so poor that it was very difficult to pick out what the speakers were saying. I found it was like listening to an old-fashioned short wave broadcast with lots of distortion. The distortion is bad enough to make the CD's unusable for picking up pronunciation details. It's too bad --- it would have been a useful product otherwise.
Five Stars
Purchased as a gift for my sister and she still uses it for reference often.
I don't recommend.
Very basic. I don't recommend.
no manual
this order was a ripoff, no manual was provided with the discs which means it won't be effective and the discs will not be useful
