Ok thanks everybody. Im going to try the pimsleur and michel thompson also. Should I even bother with Rosetta Stone after understanding some? Does repeating the audio from pimsleur actually work too?

I am using Pimsleur Russian and Michel Thomas Russian, Assimil Russian and a Norwegian course, Sosedi, as well as a plethora of other resources, and I am happy with all the ones I have mentioned. I am unfamiliar with Rosetta Stone, but if you already have bought it, I would squeze it for whatever information I could get from it, and then just move on to other things.
I do not think that even the very bright and very experienced learners could learn a language from one source only. If you are starting out with Russian I would give you two pieces of advice: 1) Spend as much time as is humanly possible on it. 2) Do not get frustrated that it takes a long time to learn, longer than any other language you have learned so far. Still assuming you are in the beginner phase, I would recomend two books in the Teach Yourself series: TY Russian Script TY Russian Grammar I have found both very helpful. The first one I found so inspiring that I did almost the whole book in one sitting, and the other one I just keep coming back to. They have divided Russian grammar into neat little units, that you can do in 20-30 minutes, and you can just pick whichever grammatical point your heart craves at any given moment. I make sure I do the exercises in a little note book apart, so that I can redo the chapter whenever I need to, and just write the date of when I went through the chapter at the top of the page. In that way I can see which chapter I have done, and that it gets easier the second and third time around. You can of course always do the chapters in sequence, but I find that I learn better when I am doing a chapter about a point which I have been wondering about, rather than just doing the chapter which comes next. Good luck! 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||

The Princeton course is excellent, I'm using it too. There's an excellent Grammar course called "A Living Russian Grammar" which has audio and a key for the exercises. It's a tad expensive, but definitely worth it.

You can use Assimil Russian (for English speaker) to boost your Russian studies.
