surprisingly good

After half an hour I knew some Russian to my surprise. The only issue I had was the assumption that I was American and would be telling people this. However It gives you the word for English, I think once I'm a bit more familiar I'd be confident with changing the sentences which I don't see as being a bad thing at all.

Gives you an insight into their way of teaching Russian

The first Chapter just introduced Pimsleur. The second used conversation to begin to teach Russian. For (at this time) a complimentary download, it was a good lesson for those who learn well just listening. Personally, I have to write things do to learn so felt that this is only suited to a specific group of people as they state you should only listen to this lesson and are not to write anything down.
