About Pimsleur Russian:
However, the cost of the full Pimsleur Russian course (spanning 5 levels, often totaling over $500) puts it out of reach for many students. This has driven a massive migration toward digital archives, specifically the Internet Archive (Archive.org) .

It is the perfect way to get your ears accustomed to the rhythm of Russian without spending a dime.
