[QUOTE="Atilla, post: 303226, member: 4670"] If you want an all-audio course: Michel Thomas Advanced. Also, review some of those Pimsleur lessons. Even if you feel you know it, you don't truly learn until you review. This goes for all educational materials. If you're looking to learn some serious Russian, many people have given very positive reviews of the free [url=http://depositfiles.com/files/7lwe6i6s6]Princeton Russian Course[/url]. [b]My Method:[/b] Listen to the Russian audio while looking over the English text. Listen again to the Russian audio while looking over the Russian text. Read the Russian text out loud. **This is the most important part: begin reading the Russian text again, but this time, repeat each sentence out loud without looking at the text. Just read the text, look away, and repeat out loud. Listen to the Russian audio without any text, and if you have a general understanding of what is being said, you're done. You can add the audio to your mp3 player if you like. Don't try to memorize anything. Just understand what is being said, repeat the sentences without looking at the text, and trust that the Russian will gradually sink in. It usually takes 15-20 minutes per lesson, not including some quick review of previous lessons, and I'm done for the day. After you've gone through half the lessons of the course, from the first lesson, begin translating the English text into Russian. That is the Assimil method in a nutshell. My favorite part about learning languages is when I wake up in the morning feeling like I've begun understanding a major grammatical concept, even when I'm still in the sleepy dummy mode. It seems to be most likely to happen after studying the language a lot the previous day. When you've spent many hours learning something, your brain sinks the information in and puts it together during your sleep. [/QUOTE]
