Hi there
how is that different from any other method for beginners ?
No beginner will ever be able to understand a russian "say the same thing to you in a thousand different ways".
Any method has to start by something, and cannot teach everything at once.
Unless supposing that Pimsleur students are brainless parrots, I think they can (hope I did!) understand some logic with which the sentences are constructed, and thus make some of their own, provided they have the vocabulary, which again is a problem for any beginner.
So, in what book can I find this miraculous method which so quickly make beginners autonomous ?
