I couldn't find the audio, so I picked it up in Uzbekistan.

Ha ha ha !! Yeah, Uzbekistan .... brilliant. Since the publisher doesn't make the audio anymore and the
course is 50 years old I think your conscience can rest easy getting it from "Uzbekistan".   I REALLY wish
Georgetown would remaster all the tapes and put them on 1 mp3 disc like they did with all their Arabic courses.
( and sell the whole package for $30 like they did with their Arabic courses!!)


We are still waiting Georgetown Publishing!!!! C'mon guys!!

This course (I've read a couple of pages or a little bit more) explains Russian pronunciation well, while many or even most books fail to explain even Russian graphics!

Indiana University's audio archive started on July 25, 2012 to host the audio for lessons 1-36 (I presume that this covers both volumes) as .mp3 files. As far as I can tell, there's no password on these files.

Book one is lessons 1-18. They are all there. However book two's lessons are not posted at this time. The tape used is earlier generation to the one used to make the cds I have of the set. Great site thank you Chung. I hope they will post the rest of the audio.

It seems that the links for lesson 25 and beyond are dead links (404 error) as posted by the university. However I did get the .mp3s in those later lessons to play by looking at the links that work in Lessons 24 and earlier and then typing, for example:

www.iu.edu/~celtie/Lessons/Russian/B09/160.mp3 (notice the capital B)

instead of:

www.iu.edu/~celtie/Lessons/Russian/b09/160.mp3

I didn't think that URLs could be case-sensitive but if anyone wants to play the .mp3 files for lessons 25 - 36, he/she needs to enter the URL in the browser's address bar but replace the miniscule "b" with a capitalized one unless someone at IU relinks those URLs. Oh well.

Thanks Chung for highlighting the new audio. Indiana University's archive is one of my favourite bookmarks, and I never realised they uploaded the audio.

The audio I have doesn't feature any English, and is missing sections from the book. Was there a couple of versions of the recordings ? I owned physical copies of the tapes, but had no way of playing them. I ended up using the Uzbek market to get the audio.

According to hobbitofny there are at least two versions of the audio with the CDs that he has being different from (newer than?) what's on IU's page.
