 Worthless..., 2007-03-22
Bought this several years ago to learn Russian. The cost (around $10) was great...but the product is VERY lacking in helping you to do anything in learning or speaking the language. If you're going to spend your money on any product to learn a foreign language...go with Rosetta Stone or Pimsleur. Even a college textbook will help you learn more. Don't waste your money on this.

 Seriously Flawed, 2006-01-31
First of all, don't but this if you're a beginner looking for an introduction to the basics Russian language. This product is only meant for learning words and phrases through repetition and memorization. That constitutes the first CD. The second, on the other hand, is absolutely ridiculous. It's basically a game that you have NO way of winning or even doing well at unless you're relatively schooled in Russian. The one thing that this product did come in handy with was helping me to at least hear spoken Russian from native speakers while I worked my way thorough Nicholas J. Brown's "The New Penguin Russian Course," which you should redirect your search engine to right now if you're looking to this product to help you actually learn Russian language - it's the best of the best. All in all, buy this if all you want is to memorize words/phrases or if you need the aid of hearing a native speaker while attempting to self-instruct yourself through the basics of the Russian language. Either way, you'll only receive any use from the first of the two CDs.

Difficulty with Immersion Russian CD, 2006-01-05
I liked the combination of repetition of words and games to reinforce learning, although the male and female's pronunciations were difficult to hear at times. Also, the program stopped running in the middle of the lessons. I have Windows XP, and have not been able to figure out the problem, rendering the CD's useless to me. If anyone knows what the problem is and how to fix it, I would like to know.

Not Mac OS X native, 2005-08-22
Hi folks, the reviews below do a fine job reviewing the content of these CDs. I just wanted to alert Mac users that this software is not OS X native, but it works fine with the "classic" environment available to all OS X users. It's definitely worth 10 bucks. These CDs will be useful as a supplemental learning aid, or for a total novice planning a trip to Russia.
