Question:

Hi Robbie,

I have just come across your website whilst researching language learning materials.  I currently own all 3 levels of the Pimsleur method, as well as all 3 levels of the Rosetta Stone program, and am very interested in adding your course to my arsenal.  I’m just beginning my studies, and have a few questions, if I may:

1. My chosen language is Russian.  I was just wondering if you have had anyone apply your methods to this language, and if so, if they have given you any feedback?

2. I am not able to utilize PayPal (in the process of disputing a transaction with someone who didn’t ship a product, and PayPal has temporarily locked my account).  Would it be possible to mail payment to you?

3. Regarding the upcoming audio and video portion of the program… I unfortunately reside in an area of the country which does not have any kind of highspeed internet available, so I am stuck with a very slow dial-up connection.  I presume the media files are going to be set up as a download… do you know if the server you are on supports resumed downloads?  Barring that, do you think it would be possible to send you some extra cash when the audio / video material is ready, and have physical CDs and / or DVDs sent to me?

Thank you very much for your time and assistance, and I look forward to doing business with you soon.

Regards,

Mick 

My Response:

Hi Mick,

Thanks for contacting me! I’ll answer your questions in order…

1. Yes, I have had quite a few language learners who used my method and techniques to learn Russian. From the feedback I received, they were able to learn Russian quickly and at great success. A lot of customers seem to be concerned that because Russian does not use the roman alphabet there may be problems in applying my methods. I can assure you this is not the case. I have personally used my method to learn Japanese which uses a different character set from the roman alphabet and did not have any problems at all. Additionally, I have had many other customers contact me who used my techniques and method to learn Chinese, Korean, Hindi, Arabic and of course Russian without any problems. So, there is no need to worry there.

2. Yes, you can mail payment to me if you would like to avoid using PayPal. Just contact me or e-mail me and I will provide you an address to which you can send payment.

3. At this time the audio and video portions are still being created so you do not need to worry about that yet. If you have a slow connection, you will still be able to access the files and I am pretty sure you will be able to resume transfers if they are stopped. As for physical CDs or DVDs, I will handle this issue when I have finalized the instructional audio and video files.

All in all, thank you for wanting to buy a copy of my book. You will find many techniques to help you learn Russian faster and to fluency with the least amount of effort and in the most enjoyable way possible.

For everyone else, whether you are learning Russian or some other language, do what Mick is doing and take action today to further your language studies!
