Fw: [SEELANGS] Suggestions for 3d year Russian textbook?

[John Langran]

Dear SEELANGS
Since I posted this a couple of hours ago I have already had 2 colleagues 
ask off list for free sample copies. I am sorry, but I can't do this because 
of the high cost of postage to the USA. Ruslan Limited is a very small 
company with just this one series.
For teachers who want to sample the book there are downloads of the first 
lesson and the contents pages at www.ruslan.co.uk/ruslan.htm#ruslan3
There are lessons from the Ruslan 1 and 2 cdroms at 
www.ruslan.co.uk/demos.htm and I shall put a lesson from Ruslan 3 up there 
soon.
