Summary: Expensive and limited
Comment: The reader from Tel Aviv got it exactly right. This course is good, but it is extremely expensive and offers only a limited amount of vocabulary and grammatical structures. The result is that you will be able to say a certain amount of things clearly and with good pronounciation, but you will be broke and will have trouble understanding (let alone expressing) even moderately complex thoughts.

Summary: Not for an advanced student.
Comment: I have studied Russian for three years, but unfortunately, because I am graduating, I will be unable to take the advanced course that my college offers. For the past couple of months, I've been trying to find a good package so that I can learn Russian on my own. Out of all the ones I have explored, Pimsleur looked to be the most promising. While it did help me in that I am able to speak more clearly, I don't see it as being a replacement for an advanced Russian course. For one thing, the vocabulary is extremely limited. It will help you have casual conversations, but don't expect to be having any deep discussions about complex subjects. Two, because the reading supplement is so limited, many problems will arise when you have to write. Three, and most importantly, I feel that the speakers speak too slowly, at least compared to the people in the listening supplement of my textbook.

Summary: Pimsleur le vouz Rooskie?
Comment: A superb course. No doubt about it. I have a slight preference for the cassette-only, bar code-less and ISBN-less "Audio Forum" sets (hard corps drills, & every bit as pricey as Pimsleur), but Pimsleur delivers what it advertises-- "audio only".
My favorite feature? Is the lack of beeps, tones, sound effects (esPECially ringing telephones), music lead-ins, time-wasting and annoying self-congratulatory promo's, smarmy "study tips", "culture capsules", etc., etc. (ditto for Audio Forum, btw).
