Great for practising your Russian out loud
A good system for practising Russian pronounciation but limited in vocabulary. I've become a lot more comfortable hearing myself speak Russian working through this audio book with the narrator. Looking forward to the next.

Useful and Relatable Lesson Structure
This language series is more than just memorizing phrases or words. This series teaches you how to interact through different situations, like addressing someone you bump into. It pieces together different scenarios, so you learn the context of the language, not just the translation. #Audible1

Effective
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Make it a bit less repetitive and give more time to answer back.
Would you be willing to try another book from Pimsleur? Why or why not?
Yes! I have tried other learning tools but only Pimsleur teaches me the language to a point where I can impress native speakers and have functional conversations. Russian is the 3rd language I'm learning using these audiobooks!
Have you listened to any of the narrator’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Not consistent
What aspect of Pimsleur’s performance would you have changed?
I find that the Russian speakers are not consistent in their pronunciations. A word will be broken down, the last syllable being a "oo" sound, and then when the word is put back together, the ending is "oh" or "ah". A question is intoned differently in Russian, but one example sounds much more like the way an English question would be pronounced than the previous examples had demonstrated. I like the way the course is structured, but the speakers just don't seem precise. If there is some reason the pronunciation changes, I'd like to know why. I'm not sure that I am going to buy the next set of lessons.

Only because there are few
my fiance and her family speak Russian and Ukrainian obviously I wanted to learn. this course is good in theory but poorly presented. the individuals speaking the native tongue do not enunciate properly nor slowly enough. Luckily for me I do have my fiance and she can correct any mistakes this book may have taught me. unfortunately for anyone wanting to learn Russian there are very few audible books available so choose wisely.

Okay for a brush up
This is okay for a brush up if you are a little familiar with Russian. what would make this guide solid is if there was a booklet or PDF outlining what the speakers are saying so you can follow along. At times it can be overwhelming and back-and-forth with the phrases they drop on you

Great for learning to speak and listen!!
I've always enjoyed dabbling in foreign languages, and this series is simply fantastic! It's very repetitious and allows you to learn phrases in a way that becomes second nature to anyone who actively listens to these lessons, and that is something that is rather difficult when studying languages on your own without the guidance of a fluent speaker.
Though, I will say that in Russian the spelling of a lot of words isn't very intuitive, and this series doesn't really help with that on its own since it's strictly audio, so I use Google Translate a lot to help out with that (which I highly recommend since sometimes it's difficult to hear the sounds they're making. Sometimes "n" sounds like "m," or "guh" sounds like "duh").
My own method (which may or may not work for you) is to listen to each lesson twice (once one day, then again the next day), take plenty of notes the first time through, and then let the info really sink in during the second play-through. And I've made it a part of my daily routine.
I've learned so much more with this series in a few months than I had with years of studying any other language!

Wow, I really picked up Russian quickly!
What made the experience of listening to Russian Phase 1, Unit 01-05 the most enjoyable?
I do not consider myself good at language acquisition but Pimsleur changed my mind. I was able to learn the most important words and phrases quickly and retain them during a 3 month stay in Moscow for work. I plan to re-learn Spanish with Pimsleur and I think it will be fun and easy.
Has Russian Phase 1, Unit 01-05 turned you off from other books in this genre?
Rosetta Stone was not helpful for learning Russian and was a total waste of money.
