Distance Learning: Russian by television???

[Natalie O. Kononenko]

Dear Steve (and others on the list who may be interested),
        The Public TV Russian program was put out by BBC.  I do
not recall what it was called, but I'm sure someone else on the
list will.  I would also suggest exploring using bits from the
Russian version of Sesame St. -- Ulitsa Sezam.
        Of computer programs -- have played with Rosetta
Stone.  No particular thoughts on it.  Have not examined
Transparent Language.  Did, however, talk about modifying
things like Reader Rabbit for Russian, though we never did it.
Reader Rabbit has antonyms, synonyms, slovosochetanie, and
various other small, useful things in a lively and colorful
format.
