Want to learn Russian and not go to classes? This is one of the few course that can do it. The two volumes with audio will give you the basics of Russian. It will help you speak Russian so you can live or visit in a Russian speaking community.

The course method was created by the best language experts for the US War Department during World War II. The method was used later in the FSI State Department courses.

There are a few words that dated. Example: words relating to the Soviet government. However if you ever read anything in Russian history, you will need the words. Most of them are in one unit in book 2.

The course is for the serious student of Russian.
