lacks cohesive presentation

I have used several language learning programs and this is the least helpful one I have ever seen. Only one Russian speaker (female)and English translator is male.. no conversation, no context, difficult to learn. I feel I wasted my money. Pimsleur is much better, although it lacks reading skills.

great value for money

While it is certainly true that if you are willing to pay more you will get a more comprehensive course, this is exceptional for the price. However I would not recommend basing all of your studies on these CDs for a number of reasons:

1. There is to little on reading and writing Russian
2. There is an emphasis on learning vocabulary word for word or short phrases and not conversationally based
3. There are no grammatical explanations

As a supplement or refresher this course is superb and I provided you keep these caveats in mind, it is HIGHLY recommended that you buy this course!
