2008-08-31 Useful, though simple and a relatively expensive way to learn some basics.

I have GCSE level russian and wanted to recap and learn how to make good conversation in russian. This CD is somewhat basic, as it does not include anything beyond GCSE, and having previously been to russia I found that that is not enough to make decent conversation, although it is enough to get around. I was hoping for some complex conversations with translations which would help me pick up modern russian conversation. You could pick up more by watching a russian film. I suppose this is useful, but its not really russian conversation. More like a simple audio travel phrase book. I would have bought something else had I known.
