Russian Stage One--Live from Moscow! (Russian in Stages)

Summary: Why no answers
Review: I tried to learn Russian in college. I was not succesful. The problem was the lack of guidance with the book. THe answers were unavailable, the instruction was minimal and the examples were virtually non existent. The book does teach vocabulary, but vocabulary is useless if one does not know the proper way to use it. Stick with Pimselur.

Summary: this book is not so bad
Review: I was worried when I read the comments by the last reviewer about this book, since I knew my russian 101 class would be using it. It's not nearly as bad as he claims. A greater number of examples might be beneficial at times, but i made it through a whole semester with this book without a problem, and without consulting other resources more than a few times.
