I will review this product by answering some of the questions I've asked my self before buying the product and by reading some of the reviews written by others.Q. What is inside the box?A. The level 1 box contains 4 CDs and a booklet with all the words and expressions heard on them. Each CD contains a different part of speech. disc1 contains nouns, cd2 adjectives and adverbs, cd3 expressions, and cd4 verbs.Q. I heard some reviewers complain about the background music by saying it is loud, annoying, and makes listening to pronunciation more difficult. Is that true?A. First of all, the music starts at the beginning of each track and runs for only 4 minutes or less while the speakers say the words. The music then stops and the speakers keep saying the words without the background music. Each CD has 4 tracks with each running for about 15 minutes. So you roughly get 11 minutes in each track without music, which is a good thing because I think it is annoying. I personally had no problem with the music being a bit loud since I have some background about Russian pronunciation. However, this might cause a problem for the total beginner. But once one becomes familiar with the Russian pronunciation, it shouldn't be a problem. In fact, it might be a good practice to hear Russian while there's some kind of distraction. This will improve the comprehension skills in the long run, which is what one will encounter in most real situations.Q. Are the CDs for Russian speakers learning English or for non-Russian speakers learning Russian?A. It can work both ways since each CD uses two approaches. For the first two tracks you hear a word said in English then followed by Russian.
