Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on intermediate-level Russian language learning resources. I took Russian for three years in college and was quite good at it. However, that was eleven years ago. In the interim, I did speak some Russian with an Afghani family that I was friends with, however, even that is four years ago now. I feel reasonably comfortable with basic conversation and vocabulary, helped by the fact that I speak another Slavic language, but the grammar could use some review.

The reason I want to brush up is that I will be moving to Uzbekistan in August. My future employer kindly provided me with the Rosetta Stone Russian course, but I have been very unimpressed with it. Ultimately, I'd also like to learn Uzbek, so I'm anxious to get going on the Russian. There seem to be a fair number of beginner courses out there, but I'm looking for something more mid-level with a focus on grammar. Thanks.

A Comprehensive Russian Grammar by Terence Wade is a very good book.

Thanks for suggesting the last link. I've started using it and I'm finding it quite enjoyable and at the right level.
