There is a free first lesson of the Ruslan CDRom at 
www.ruslan.co.uk/demos.htm if your colleague would like to try it

SEELANGtsy,

I recall a thread some time ago about the perils of self-study
language programs (like Rosetta Stone).
A colleague recently asked me about teaching himself Russian using one
of these; apparently his wife is Russian but isn’t interested in helping him
learn it, despite his interest in doing so.

I don’t have much experience with these types of programs
(or marriages, for that matter), so: accepting the limitations of this
type of learning, are there recommendations from those who know more than I 
for
specific products, programs, or other resources that might help this 
colleague?

Gratefully,

DB
