English for Russian Speakers

Troy asked me earlier where to find Pimsleur English for Russian Speakers, and the first answer, of course, is "try the library." I find that the most precise way to locate stuff in the Montgomery County Library on-line catalog is by ISBN. To that end, I visit Amazon.com to lookup the ISBN numbers. I'll list the ISBNs I find in hopes of helping you. If you can't dig any of these up in your local library system, check out Amazon's used prices.

I want to give a mention, also, to Rosetta Stone which, to my amazement, is available online through the Montgomery County (Maryland) Public Libraries. The interface is available in a handful of languages not including Russian, but some swift tutelage should be sufficient to enable anyone to use the system to learn English. (Here are my hints: Step 1: use the Guided Exercise then, Step 2: click on the blue/red ribbon to start taking tests.) If you live in Montgomery County, MD or can otherwise obtain a library card number, avail yourself of this excellent resource.

Also observe the links to Audible.com, which offers the first eight lessons, downloadable for ten bucks. Not bad.

It looks like the cassette version, ISBN 067158233X, is available in the Montgomery Co. libraries.

By the way, there are many websites selling Pimsleur materials. One of my favorite discoveries is that you can buy entire sets of 30 lessons on a tiny audio chip. That looks too cool!
