This is a great introduction to the Russian language. You won't be able to speak Russian when you're finished, but you'll have a few "catch phrases" to use and a fantastic accent. The repetition is excellent in committing the phrases to memory; very quickly, you find yourself being able to "answer" the prompt, instead of just repeating.
It is by no means sufficient if you are interested in having anything more than an EXTREMELY basic knowledge of the language. But the pronunciation you'll learn, as well as the taste of Russian you get, is insurpassable. |
