Try "Teach yourself Beginner's Russian" book. This is what I am following and is quiet easy and interesting.

I strongly second the recommendation of the penguin course. With some kind of
additional material for listening practice of course (I got started with this book, supplemented by listening to Russian radio from the BBC world service). But the penguin course gives clear, no-nonsense grammatical explanations that are extremely helpful with a language like Russian and decidedly out of vogue in conversationally-structured courses that dominate todays language learning market. And despite its compact size, it is very thorough. Having worked through that book, you'll have an understanding of all the essential parts of Russian grammar. In my more than two years of daily Russian reading since I finished that book, I can only think of two grammatical constructions that weren't covered by that book. If you really want a full course that integrates audio and text, I've been impressed with what I've seen of the Living Language Ultimate Russian course. This is a bit more colloquial, and looks pretty thorough as well, a very strong course, but it is not quite as elegantly structured as the penguin course. Whatever you choose, I wish you the best of luck in learning this fascinating language! Edited by unityandoutside on 06 June 2011 at 5:45am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

New Penguin Russian course is a good book, but the chapter about Russian pronunciation is
totally wrong. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
