Russian language labs/tutorials

GLOSS online lessons are meant for self-study (without a teacher). Detailed
teacher comments are incorporated in the "hint" and "feedback" buttons.
Listening lessons have audio files of authentic Russian speech. In addition
to learning activities designed to make it easy for the learner to process
the audio input, every lesson has a "Source" tab. By clicking on "Source",
you can view a full script of the audio file in Russian. At the bottom of
the "Source" pop-up window you can click on "View translation", and a full
English translation will be displayed parallel to the Russian script. You
can also print it.
If you prefer, you can skip all the activities in the lesson and just listen
to the audio file and compare it with the printed script and with the
translation.
Some lessons have two audio files: one is authentic with all the natural
imperfections of natural speech (sometimes people interrupt each other;
sometimes there is some noise, etc), and the other is the studio recording
of the same script, where a teacher is voicing the same text enunciating
words clearly to make it easier for the learners.

If you are an intermediate/advanced learner (ILR levels 2+/3), I could also
send you our beta-version CD with WTE Russian lessons that emphasize
productive skills (speaking, translation, interpreting, etc).

Subject: [SEELANGS] Russian language labs/tutorials

I am a seeking a language lab somewhere in the city of Chicago that would 
offer me a variety of tutorials (audio/video, computer, etc.) that stress 
conversation.  I would be happy to attend as a continuing ed student, or 
any other arrangement.

Since I learn best by seeing conversation in printed form, and also A/V 
form -- so I can mimic the Russian speaker -- any program along these 
lines would be excellent.

If there is no language lab that fits the description, I can read Russian, 
and my laptop is Russified - therefore any online tutorials would also be 
good. I have investigated RUSSNET and it is a bit limiting because I 
really need a program that builds upon knowing the grammar solidly.

Any help from the SEELANGS listserv would be most appreciated.
