I don't think anyone would say that Russian is an easy language to learn, but I've definitely made the most progress using Pimsleur Russian 1 when compared to other methods of learning I've tried. It's hard to find the time to study books or work with computer programs, but I could take the Pimsleur courses with you wherever I went (in the car, at the gym, etc) and listen to them on my MP3 player. It's obvious that Pimsleur takes a lot of time in designing their courses and trying to plan the best way for students to learn. I can't wait to get Pimsleur Russian 2.
The Pimsleur Russian I program taught me to speak some Russian. They also gave me a basic understanding of how to use words I find in a dictionary or phrase book in a sentence. My native Russian speaking friend has no trouble understanding me and I can understand her if she's using words I know. It's not perfect. It does not include a transcript or vocabulary list and sometimes I found myself searching for a words spelling to distinguish "p" sounds from a "b" or "v" Overall I found the lessons quite wonderful and liked them enough to purchase additional levels of the program.
I like Pimsleur method because you can listen to the CDs any time and as many times you want to and need to. Also, I like these CDs because they are very practical. I can listen while I am driving, during my breaks at work, and while I am at home cooking or doing other shores. I really recommend Pimsleur Russian 1 because it gives you the basic knowledge of the language plus preppers you for the next level.

As with most Pimsleur courses, the Russian series is among the best I've ever used. A Good buy and great for beginners and seasoned speakers.
The easiest way to learn Russian. Worth the money. The conversational learning style is truly unique from the reading-heavy and repetition styles-- this is much more natural and results in quicker learning that comes back to you faster in actual, real-world use.
