Complete Russian: A Teach Yourself Guide (Teach Yourself: Level 4 (Paperback)) 5th Edition

I am only a few chapters in, and have found too many misleading errors.Imagine having spent the last two weeks memorizing and using the neuter forms of "our" and "your" given on page 13, only to realize that they are wrong! Now I have to unlearn them: they are actually the feminine forms. There are 4 errors on page 13 alone.The conversation, so far, is good. However there is not nearly enough of it. The Russian vowels are NOT pronounced as written. "O" often sounds like "a," and many are simply slurred over. The CD should contain a pronunciation guide for each Russian word that is introduced in a chapter. Otherwise we risk saying them wrong in our minds, and developing bad speech habits.I will persist with this book, but am disappointed that I don't feel I can totally rely on it, nor is the spoken portion as complete as it should be. I do not know if later editions have corrected the errors. This one (ISBN 978-0-07-173753-1) was apparently published in 2012. Try a later one.

The book is only okay for a non-native russian speaker... except when there are so many dumb typos and errors. I don't know what the authors and editors were smoking when they made this but I wouldn't mind some to take my mind off trying to tolerate reading this book!
