The previous reviewer's complaint about the program being written for people who already speak Russian is like complaining that an intermediate reading book is for people who already know how to read. This set is meant as a follow-up to the Teach Yourself basic Russian programs, so of course it requires you to know some Russian!However, those of you who have already put out the effort to learn basic Russian, and can read the language, will find a big surprise in the booklet that accompanies the CDs: The dialogs are not written in Russian script, but in confusing Roman transcription! You'd think they'd have Russian script accompanied by Roman transcription, but I looked and did not find a word written in Cyrillic.
The presentations are most difficult to follow since the spoken secdtions are presented like a person who alreadjy speaks Russian. Therefore, new words and phrases are presented so fast that a clear understanding cannot be grasped and repeated. I consider the course very poor since leaning new material is almost impossible.
Good, but like many of these, it takes the learner down a chosen path with selected dialogue which is not of paramount interest or usefulness.
In the hierarchy of learn-in-your-car CDs, this one is a decent middling effort for beginners.
