The site is in French, but many resources are useful even if you don't know French.
Have a look at the the songs section!

Other than Michel Thomas and Pimsleur, does anyone know any other Russian audio courses that are accessible to begginers?

I finished MT and want to have another audio course to do during my walks.

Teach Yourself offer a "get talking, and keep talking" russian (ISBN: 9781444185546), and Linguaphone have a "PDQ Russian" course. I've not used either of these myself.

This looks like a good resource: Russian Language & Culture through Film.

And a free Russian reference grammar here.

Thanks for the links, IronMike.
It seems you need a login to access the resources from the first link, though.

Is it bad that I've only seen like five of those films? :lol: Wasn't even aware that there was a remake of Служебный роман..

There's RussianPod101, which I can recommend, if you skip the series that has Eddie. Some of the dialogues are droll. There are vocabulary lists and grammar points, etc.

There's also a series of graded readers with audio at Red Kalinka, which I probably wish I had investigated earlier. It's late for me to start with them, but I'll probably make a swing through at least some of the B2 material.

Both of those would require you go through the material at least once on the computer to read the transcript, text. But then you can replay comprehensible audio umpteen times.
