Thread: Has anybody used "Русский язык для всех" text books?

Hello Everybody,
Has anybody here used the text book Русский язык для всех for basic russian. I got it as a standard text book 10years ago when i joined Russian language classes in India. But never went past the 5th lesson.I have this text book with the grammar and excercise books which supports the text book. Now I started to self learn russian again and I struggle to do some of the excercises. Do I need a proper teacher or can I use this set to self learn.
Thanks
Regards
Vivek

It depends on what do you want. If you want only to read then some books will do. If you want to speak and to be understood in real conversation then you need real speaking practice.

Anyways you have to plan to learn more than some basics and to have some continuous practice in reading or speaking. Otherwise you will forget all you have learnt very fast.

This is true about any language.
