Yeah, that one's pretty good. russianlessons.net is where I got my basic standing in Russian during the first three months of my study. practicerussian.com has quite a few good resources as well. listsen2russian is neat as well. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thank you for the links! I just bought Living Language Ultimate Russian (Beginner/Intermediate) for $10! (Thank you gift car) I'm planning on starting this course after I finish "Russo Sin esfuerzo" from Assimil. Oh! and Assimil just came out with a new Russian book (but only in French), With 100 lessons instead of 70. I'm going to buy this one but won't touch it until my French is just a little higher; or I could cross my fingers and hope for a Spanish/English base (unlikely for a while).
My upon finishing all three french assimil books I'm very tempted to try the assimil method in other languages with only french bases. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Finished first week of Pimsleur 3, and bought Living Languages Ultimate Russian: Beginner-Intermidiate to go through after I finish Penguin/Assimil in about six months. Thank you Gift car! I pick up the set for $10 :) I flipped through the book and it looks very comprehensive.
I'm listening to the BBC radio in Russian now Mon-Fri in the mornings. After lunch I switch back to French (RFI/RCI) for the rest of the day. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Quick update 1/2 through Pimsleur Russian 3, Started FSI FAST lesson 1 (went through the first audio track a couple of times), so Iḿ starting to get the hang of Cyrillic (definitely not that bad). Doing a lot of passive listening. Now that I´m starting to understand Cyrillic, I started going over the Pimsleur transcripts for the older lesson I've done.

FSI fast is really good. I got Pimsleur to "break in" my brain as you so nicely put it but I just end up wasting $120 so I've learned my lesson. NO MORE PIMSLEUR :). There is not Assimil Russian for English speakers that isn't out of print or anything so I can't use Assimil. Luck you, you speak Spanish. I congratulate you and encourage you in your Russian studies and I couldn't help but peek at your log as I am learning Russian as well :D!

Just a Quick update. This semester has been brutal, not going at my old pace. Not to
mention I gave myself a semi language break during winter break. That being said since my last update I've done the following: 1)RussianPod101 Newbie series, Survival Series, Beginner Series Season 1 and half of Season 2 2) Michel Thomas Advanced the three first CD's 3) The first 15 Lessons of Assimil 4) I can now read Cyrillic, learning how to write now. So not too bad considering I got somewhat lazy. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Latinoboy, I have a .pdf of Russian without Toil (1951) if you'd like. You'd have to get the audio for it though.
