Learn Russian CD's

[Jim Balik]

I am a new subscriber to the list. I am looking for some advice on the
purchase of a CD-based tool for learning Russian.

I recently started a new job that has increased my commute time
substantially. I have always been interesetd in learning Russian and was
interested in purchased a CD or set of CDs that I could listen to during my
commute. I undertsand that this is no substitute for classroom learning,
but thought that I could use this commute time to some benefit. I could
supplement this with a class at some point in the future. I live near
Pittsburgh, PA and the University of Pittsburgh has a very good Slavic
language department and I could easily get classes there.

I do have foreign language skills in French and German, having lived and
worked in both countries. Additionally, my fathers side is Carpatho-Rusyn
and my mother sides is Slovak, and I grew up hearing Slavic languages from
neighbors and relatives. Unfortunately I did not retain much.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
