Hello!

I've begun my Russian studies with the Pimsleur courses (up to Lesson 10 so far), and I've covered a few chapters of the New Penguin Course.

I'm wondering if anybody has, or knows where I could find, the Pimsleur lessons in text format. It seems there's a difference, sometimes severe, between the sounds I hear and the actual spelling of words.

For example, хотите I had been hearing as хартите. Additionally, I dont really hear the ь so it's helpful to see the text. And I can't even begin to properly repeat the verb for "to have lunch..."

Thanks in advance for any help/advice!
