Book Reviews of Listening Comprehension Audio Cassette (Component) to accompary Nachalo: When in Russia . . . (Book 1)
Book Review: The Best Russian Textbook available (which isn't saying much
Summary: 3 Stars
Having studied in excess of six languages, I can honestly claim that I have never worked with a more frustrating textbook. Grammar is poorly explained, and you frequently find yourself facing vocabulary that is translated nowhere in the book. Tables that explain grammar will show special cases, but rarely, or poorly explain when and why they are so.The dialogs don't really seem well in tune with the more common tasks in life, and the video set to accompany this book offers little added value. The conversations do all flow together and create a story, if not a very compelling one.
The audio cassette that comes with this book is quite helpful. Listening to conversations on a regular basis definitely has helped with comprehension.
Given the rather meagre selection available in Russian Textbooks, one has no choice but to recommend this book -- it's not a very good one (in fact, the school at which I last studied has since abandoned it, and the teachers are presenting their own material), but it's the best out there.
