http://www.amazon.fr/Nouveau-Russe-peine-livre-coffret/dp/B0 0008CTOR Amazon France still has copies of that version, as well as the new one. Assimil still offers this course as well (through electronic format). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

The link you provide is for the 90 or early 00's version of the Assimil Russian method. It's very different from the one from the 70's. The 90's version is the one I am currently using even with the heavy amount of neutral and bad reviews about it and because I had already bought it. I will suggest to the OP, if he is able, and want a Assimil Method for Russian, to find a 70s edition. Edited by grunts67 on 23 July 2010 at 8:10pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I bought my Russian For Everybody in the mid seventies. It consisted of 10 long-play records and six or seven books. The main textbook was entirely in Russian.
Then, they revised the course making it more politically correct and adding some extra books. The new records were 7 inch and flexible. I believe the course has been revised again for sale in America. This has four or five books and has English instructions and explanations. My recordings have the text, dialogues and exercises for language laboratories. I recorded them onto cassettes and then to mp3. I began learning Russian with My First, Second, Third and Fourth Russian Books by Arakin and Samoylova. They each come with long-play records and cost around five or six dollars each. I couldn't believe the price but the books were subsidised by the Soviet government. They put out a lot of excellent material at very low prices. That was what got me started. I also bought Russian books on mathematics, chess and electronics to supplement my reading material. I also read Russian web pages and I read my Assimil books for light reading. I do find the early 50s book heavy going. Edited by fanatic on 24 July 2010 at 8:22am 1 person has voted this message useful |
