Complete Russian Beginner to Intermediate Course: (Book and audio support)

I've been using this book simultaneously with the Duolingo russian course to learn the Russian all by myself (self-learn) and I'm boosting through the language course. This book has dialogues, cultural exposure and tips throughout - there are 20 chapters and I take it with me even if I'm travelling and I'm almost through with the entire book and am pretty happy with it. Definitely recommend but only if you feel you can commit to a self-learn book, as some people would probably be better off with classes in school or uni.

Although it says in the book that audio is provided by downloading the app or streaming on a website, my many attempts to do either on an iPhone (ios system) and a Chromebook did not work. Right on the cover of the book it says Audio online. Had high hopes for this teaching method but now that it shot through. May return it for a more truthful system.

il libro è fatto bene, ben strutturato e facilmente comprensibile

Very nice. Detailed study

Es un buen libro, tiene cosas interesantes y la metodología la considero apropiada y sencilla si ya sabes ruso, como es mi caso. Quería un libro que me ayudará a reforzar lo básico. No le doy 5 estrellas porque no está a color y el papel es 'sedoso' por lo cual es complicado escribir sobre el con lápiz. Tengo el libro "Get yourself started in italian', El cual es de la misma editorial, ese sí está a color y el papel es agradable para escribir.

I simply love this series. I own several for different languages and they're all built kind of the same, but also differs from one language to another so it's not the same content translated over and over again. It has everything: vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, translation exercices, etc. It's a great way to start learning Russian. I'd suggest to get yourself a dictionary on the side as well.
