I'm forced to think that I AM alone in this world. I'm afraid that it will take a long time to managing this language. I have learnt Russian for 3 months and I just get a little. How did it come? I just learn from internet and books. Is that enough? How long would I be a native-speaker? Does anyone know what should I do besides being active in this only-site-I-know which discussing about Russian?
(I'm sorry... I'm a little bit depressed...)
Pimsleur is a set of 90 audio lessons, 30 minutes each. It's almost like having a conversation with a tutor, they ask you questions and you answer. I think it's great for learning how to speak/pronounce and just generally gain confidence in using the language, and for someone living in a non-Russian speaking country those are the hardest things to get practice with.

For listening practice I use http://russianinternet.com/radio/ , mostly the first one Russkoe Radio since 90% of them don't even work, and for TV there's http://russianinternet.com/video/ , RTR Planeta is the best I've found, 24/7 live broadcasts and the quality (visually) is surprisingly good. I recommend going to their homepage http://www.rtr-planeta.ru/ and getting the feed from there though.

I'll send you a message about Pimsleur so if you're interested in trying it out let me know.
