Hello. I just ordered some course for learning Russian. (and Polish.)

Pimsleur's Quick and Easy Russian Course - I bought that because Pimsleur has gotten many good reviews, and I like the method Pimsleur uses. The course contains 8 lessons, which is supposed to be a teaser for me to buy the expensive 'conprehensive' courses. Well, I'll see about tat

Pimsleur's Quick and Easy Polish Course - I bought this for the same reasons above. I plan on learning both Russian and Polish, but I couldn't decide which language to go at first, so I bought both Pimsleur courses.

Idiots Guide to Learning Russian *book* - I have the Spanish version of this book and I like it. I like to read books like these that are easy on you, and provide tips and tid bits of info that other books don't give. I actually laughed before I bought this book.

Now, my questions is, if I learn everything from the Pimsleur courses, where should I go? Should I buy the other Russian courses, or is there better software that I can purchase. I didn't spend much money on this purchase, so just because I bought these items, it doesn't mean I have to continue with the rest of the courses. I already have the Transparent Language course for Polish, so I won't buy any more software for Polish for a while.

I have some really old "How to learn Russian books", printed in the 60's in the Soviet Union. The books are really for little kids, I think they are for the youngsters that are just learning to read. They have poems, short stories and other stuff to read. (as well as pictures of Lenin in the background lol.) I have been reading these books, and I've learned most of the Russian Alphabet.

I'm not an idiot at learning languages (that's why I laughed at the Idiot's Guide book.) and I know about the different aspects of language learning. So, if there is software that is more for people that know a lot about languages, just tell me. I can take it!
