(Translation: "Hello! Welcome to the Pimsleur Russian course. We'll start with the basics. In this lesson, you'll learn to greet people and introduce yourself.")
Dr. Paul Pimsleur believed that language learning should mimic how a child learns their first language: through listening and speaking first, reading and writing later. Consequently, the official courses do not come with a full written transcript. You get a short "Reading Lesson" booklet in Level 1, but it only covers the Cyrillic alphabet basics and a few key phrases. It does not transcribe the 150 hours of dialogue.
