learning russian

[Eihli]

rosetta stone is the nuts, i highly recommend it. well worth the moneys.

i've tried pimsleurs too, they don't compare to rosetta.

[Miscreant]

I'm about 6 months into trying to learn it. The Pimsleur CD's are pretty good, they are geared a little too much towards business but there is no substitute for audio, its impossible to learn from books alone. I like the New Penguin Russian Course book and http://www.masterrussian.com/ has some decent resources also. PM me, we might be able to work something out as far as loaning you my stuff as I finish with it.

This is the textbook I used when I learned Russian in university. Pretty solid.

I am going to try and teach myself Russian. I am looking for a suggestion to help me learn it. I am open to using books or computer to try and learn.
I have seen commercials on tv for the Rosetta Stone but I am not sure how good it is.

xhawks,

I've been studying Russian in school for a couple years now, and this [censored] is hard. I don't think I would be able to do it by myself if I didnt have a teacher constantly correcting my mistakes.

itunes has some learn Russian (Henry N Raymond) which seem ok. I have downloaded it onto my ipod in an attempt to learn (the wife is Russian).

I have since decided that I can satisfactorily hate the bitch in english alone.
