Query: good 2nd year conversation book

[Kenneth E Udut]

Hi Joseph!

Consider picking up Pimsleur tapes.  They're
expensive - but *boy*, they do work!

I'm finishing up Russian I with them (30 tapes in all, I'm
up to tape 26), and will be ordering Russian II in a few days.

Pimsleur really holds your hand through it, pushing you
only enough to be able to handle it - and you are
completely guided throughout the tapes.

I'm very pleased with it.  I paid $279+ for Russian I at
amazon.com, but a friend here on SEELANGS pointed me to
booksamillion.com - where you can find the Pimsleur
tapes for $159 if you are not a booksamillion member, and
$139 if you are a booksamillion member.

You wont hear a single grammar term in all of the
tapes, but you will go over them.  And over, and over -
and strangely enough, his techniques are based on
Dr Paul Pimsleur's own research, which was *not*
based on Chomsky, but rather on BF Skinner!!!

Anyhow - that's my suggestion.

Also, pick up from Slavica.com Gribble's Russian Root List.
