Summary: Learning Russian from the Ground Up
Comment: This series is great if you really want to set the foundations for truly learning Russian. This is not for travellers who just want phrases and a basic "gist" of the language. They take you step by step so that you can actually learn to read the language starting with the pronunciation of each letter and its possible sounds so you can sound out words if you are stuck and need to bring out a dictionary. This is a great series to start out with if you have the will power to dedicate yourself to being a student of the language and not just a parrot.

Summary: Tapes not well-designed for self learning
Comment: A great deal of effort went into preparation of the tapes for this product, which is a shame because they have some fundamental flaws that make them very frustrating to use, especially in the car. First of all, there are actually two sets of tapes, one called Learn at Home, which is designed to be used with the text, and another called Learn on the Go, which is designed to be used without the text. They use the same lessons, so you are only getting half your money's worth. The Learn on the Go series rarely gives the student the opportunity to say the phrase in Russian after hearing the English phrase, so it is almost useless for practicing what you have memorized. It is better than some comparable products in that it doesn't have a lot of fluff (music, chatty cultural stuff) that wastes time, but not nearly as good as some. Penton's Learn in Your Car series is by far the best, but unfortunately does not go beyond the beginner level. The other makers of language products should learn from Penton's simple, efficient methods. I taught myself Spanish in the car and am now learning Russian, but I am frustrated by the lack of really good products beyond the beginner level.
