Hello RWD!

[Lord of the Dance]

Over the years I have learnt particularly with the more low brow crowd that not talking too much tends to play better, not elaborating on what you say.

Great point Trenchcoat; so often it seems the less said, the better.

Off topic: Blimey! Fireworks are now flying all around my neighbourhood! With best wishes from Oxford, Happy New Year everybody!   

I know I'm a little late, but happy new year to you kynrazor and all here at RWD. May 2018 bring us all happiness, health and prosperity. ~ Doug S.

He's a smart lad - c. your age, I guess

Hey thanks Ray, I appreciate it. Don't inconvenience yourself, but anything you have in-hand at the moment and want rid of I'll accept graciously. Perhaps I could pick up said materials when I come down to check out your shop / business!

I will send you what I have found so far Doug and may find a few more odds and ends that I can give you when you come down.  I do have the Rosetta Stone set which is a pretty good one and great for vocabulary and the 3 sets of Pimsleur.  Pimsleur I is cassettes and II & III are CD's.  Hope you have a cassette player.  I am also sending a bunch of Language Now CD's.  I threw out the book for them but think I have another someplace that may turn up before you come down.  The Language Now set was one of the first I tried and I liked it a lot.  There is one tape missing from Pimsleur I.  As I recall it got stuck in the cassette player in the vehicle I had then.  There is enough there to keep you busy for a long time and to help you learn Russian pretty well.

Greatly appreciated Ray, thank you kindly for your generosity. As a matter of fact (thanks to my dad's line of work) I've got access to any sort of player I could want... reel-to-reel, phonograph, 8-track, cassette, etc. ~ Doug

Wow, that was fast! Took delivery of your box today... thanks a ton for the great learning materials! Way more content than I was expecting; you're right, I'll be busy for a long time! ~ Doug

You'd think Trench might follow his own 'adviSe'
