euroTalk Interactive

I would like to ask any native speakers of Russian if the Russian speaking instructors on the EuroTalk Russian beginners CD have good Russian accents.

Unfortunately I can't easily post an audio clip, but perhaps there are some native speakers who have heard the instructors on EuroTalkinteractive Russian, and can comment on whether they have good Russian accents.

Well, as a native speaker, I never needed to listen any audio courses of Russian :( Could you try to post a sample audio clip, please?

I'm not a native speaker, but I can tell you that the accents are OK. The speakers sound like they're natives. I don't like the EuroTalk series too much, although you can usually get it for very little money so it might be worth it to get it just to have.

there are really so many different accents in russia. personally i think the moscow accent versus the peters accent sounds as different as los angeles and new york. if you want to get a good accent you're going to need to spend time there or speak with some natives!
