First, if you completed the Russian foundation course then you absolutely need to continue with this "Advanced course". Here are the good points:* Clear, not-too-fast pronunciation by the teacher* More grammar, especially the accusative case (finally!) Now you can correctly conjugate direct object nouns. Perfective and imperfective verbs are introduced.* Some more vocabulary* Nice pace which builds on earlier materialAs with the foundation course, there are still some negative points:* Vocabulary is spotty. For instance, you'll learn the word for "breakfast" but not "lunch" or "dinner". You'll learn the word for "tomorrow" but not "today", or "yesterday".* Essential vocabulary is missing. You still won't be able to say "hello", or "goodbye". You won't be able to count to 10. You won't be able to tell the time, or say what day or month it is.* The grammar doesn't advance very far. You only learn the accusative case, not the dative, prepositional, genitive or instrumental cases. It's true that the prepositions "v" and "na" are introduced, but the nouns added to them in this course don't need to change. In general this is not true. The prepositional and dative cases are very often used in Russian so this is a big omission.* I found the explanation of the imperfective and perfective verbs a bit brief and confusing. After finishing the course I don't feel confident to correctly decide which one to use in different situations.I definitely recommend getting this course in order to build on the last course, but I don't agree that this course should be entitled "Advanced Russian". It really should be "upper beginner".
