I got these on cassette recently and think they are pretty useful. I think CD would be a bit better just to be able to replay shorter sections over and over.

I might try posting some of the phrases later to see if they are accurate and in common usage. It looks like some of the phrases/expressions are more based on what people commonly say in English rather than Russian. But these recording could be used just as well for Russian speakers learning English.[/quote]

I purchased and sent a second set to my girlfriend in Russia. She knew the level one and two phrases and was using level 3. She found a few Russian word endings wrong and a few placed poorly pronounce. Mostly it is ok. She is focused on the use in English being very helpful. She also likes hearing the native English speaker.
