options for self-study of Russian

[Malavika Jagannathan]

Hello all,

I have a friend in Austin, Texas who has taken an intensive Russian course
through the Monterey Institute a few years ago (beginner level), but would
like to continue studying the language.  His problem is time.  He has a
demanding work schedule that requires him to travel a lot, so he can't
commit to a class or intensive program.  He wonders if getting a private
tutor, who could work within his schedule, is a good idea.  I'm also
wondering if there are other options -- online courses, for example -- or
books that would help him continue studying Russian on his own.  He's a
committed student, but just simply does not have the time for traditional
modes of language study.  Thanks for your input and feel free to reply off
the list, if you wish.

regards,
