I just received an intriguing language program meant to teach you a large variety of insults in Russian.
The format of the program is not impressive but its innovative content is worth mentionning.
Basically it's a guy who hired a Russian friend and asks him to translate a long lists of curses and insults from English into Russian. What you get is an audio CD-Rom with 1 hour 4 minutes of sound. The sound quality is really terrible, like if the people had been speaking inside a washing machine with their nose pinched. I am not an audiophile and this is really very annoying.
The curses discussed are quite fun, with a discussion of various translations for the human sexual organs.
For all its drawbacks I still think it's a nice example of an innovative homemade language program. I hope we'll see more in the future and of better quality!
The man who sells this is on Ebay.com under the nickname of 'swamphandy'. He makes this in several languages (Spanish, French, etc...).
