This course looks so comprehensive to me, there are tons of audiofiles available and the explanations seem very specific. I've not started studying Russian yet, so I'd like to know if the Princenton's course is enough to get a good basic knowledge of the language, or if I have to add something else (like a grammar handbook or something). Thank you in advance for your replies. Edited by Luigi on 21 March 2007 at 5:05am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It's really amazing! If I had known this course when learning Russian, I'd have advanced much faster!
However, I cannot give you an neutral answer, since I already "know" Russsian. Anyway, it seems to me this course is quite comprehensive and covers most (if not all) aspects of the language. Highly recommended. Edited by Guanche on 20 March 2007 at 5:51pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Yes, the Princeton course is excellent. There are lots of dialogues, also russian songs, poems, and excerpts from stories/books and lots of good grammar explanations.

Indeed, the course looks good especially with the funny dialogues. It's a pity that I don't have time to learn Russian right now. I'd be glued to this course otherwise.

Yeah, I think this got posted a while back as well. I downloaded it then as it appeared quite in depth. I'm looking forward to putting it into practice when I get around to Russian :)

I don't quite see where they teach the alphabet in the first lesson, though that's supposed to be the objective of the lesson... guess the course is not complete after all.
Anyway, here's a great little site that should help you pick up the Russian alphabet: http://www.alphadictionary.com/rusgrammar/alphabet.html I prefer having a few more exercises for each letter, like the lessons I wrote for the Greek alphabet at http://www.wikibooks.org/wiki/Modern_Greek or the Korean alphabet at http://www.learnlangs.com/RWP/Korean , but this is a good start anyway. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Is there some content missing?
SLA101 SLA105 SLA207 How come it's named like that? Should there also be: SLA102 SLA103 SLA104...etc? Just wondering. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Logically, you would think that there'd be SLA 102/103/104. However, numbering conventions for courses depend on the university.
