Learning the Russian language?

[< James Joyce]

Does anyone know of a good program or set of books that would work well for learning Russian? I intend to apply myself and become an advanced reader of the language. Reasonably priced systems would be appreciated, but please recommend all.

I am pursuing this field of study due to the fact that I generally cannot stand translated literature. Also, I'm new to the forums and I would simply like to say hello to everyone!

You should get the Penguin Learning Russian Book, im using it the now...its great bud.

Pimsleur's audio courses are good for very basic conversational Russian.


You can also sign up on italki.com and practise a little bit of Russian with Russians who want to practise their English.
