... in any new language. Including Russian, which I imagine is seeing a massive uptick in interest right now.

My personal experience...

1) Start with Pimsleur 1... get the pronunciation of the language in your head, the music of it... if you follow Pimsleur, those initially impossible words and phrases gradually lose their mystery and become embedded.

2) When you're halfway through Pimsleur 1, start Duolingo in parallel... it's great for learning to read (important!) and for vocabulary expansion.

3) Once you've gained some basics (month or two?), start conversation classes on Italki... no English, force yourself to struggle in Russian.

4) After a while, start attempting comprehension of real language: news (written or spoken) is generally the easiest way in.

Well, that's my strategy (based on other languages: I'm starting Russian now).

In other words: Pimsleur's just the start, but it's a brilliant start.

PS in disagreement with other reviewers: it's really not expensive for what it is.
