Pimsleur RussianAnother popular product is the Pimsleur Russian all CD course which you can find here. The course is completely different from the Michel Thomas method. With Pimsleur there is little explanation of the grammar rules, instead the program uses repetition and anticipation to teach the language. This is great for those who looking to learn phrases and popular words quickly. There are three levels to the course, starting a very basic level and gradually moving to more complex sentences. |
