Seriously, I'd like to keep on learning, and I know there are many, many ressources on the net, but my problem is that I would like to keep doing this during commuting... I don't have much time for anything else, so the audio method was really great for me.
Do you know other audio methods, but for a more advanced level ? (Well for someone who just finished Pimsleur's ,you got it...)
Or audio stuffs that could be understandable for me ?
Good day to all,
Lyl.
A lot of people have said that the 'Michel Thomas' method is better than pimsleur (I agree because I am doing both for French and Italian)
A Russian version of Michel Thomas is out in the U.K and should be out in the States next month. I am very much looking forward to it! :D

I've found a product that's a pretty good follow-on to Pimsleur in my opinion:
Vocabulearn
The package consists of 12 CD's. Each CD consists of an English speaker saying a word, followed by a Russian speaker saying it in Russian. Halfway through the CD, they change the order (Russian first, then English). As far as quality, it's not the greatest, but unlike Pimsleur the set comes with a book that has a complete transcription of everything that is said. Also, unlike Pimsleur, the CD's have a lot or replayability. There are probably ~350 Russian nouns on the first CD, and unless you're a savant like Lylandra :wink: you won't pick them all up on the first, or even the tenth time you listen.
