Army, those lessons aren’t missing from my version of the course. You could try to download the course from another source (it has been uploaded to some torrent sites).

This is probably the best free Russian learning course ever. Thanks David.

Thanks for making this great self learning resource available to everyone on the internet. I’ve been using your material the last couple of years and have benefited enormously using it as my main source of learning Russian and the audio which comes with your course is awesome.

I’ve learned so much that I’ve decided to share what I’ve learnt on my website.

Cheers and may god bless you.

Wow, I’m really grateful for the materials. I’m a writer and translator based in Berlin. I used to study Russian back in high school because a few of my friends were from southern Russia. My passive knowledge of the language is quite good but I can barely speak it, and now that the possibility of visiting Russia has arised I intend to learn it thoroughly.

I am a retired teacher . For the past three years have been teaching myself Russian using any resources I can get my hands on – Pimsleur, Penguin Russian course, Schramm, Idiot’s Guide – in short, any textbook old or new that I could lay my hands on. By far your course has been the MOST helpful of any I have encountered. I love your clear and methodical explanations, the profusion of examples you provide, and most of all, your whimsical sense of humor, as appealing to a 65 year old as to the college students for which your course was designed. I also listen to the audio portion for one or two hours a day on my iPod touch, a great way keep those voices floating through the brain. I have picked up three Russian friends in our area for informal “lessons,” and also spent several weeks in the country last fall. Your course has given me a plan for these lessons (I decode Sara with my friends’ help), and it also enabled me to make a stab at conversation with the Russian family I stayed with for five days in Novgorod. I simply can’t thank you enough for making this valuable resource available for FREE!

“there is 2 missing chapter 27 and 29. how possible to get them as i think very important (i check that in the summary)”

Elias,

The “missing” lesson 27 is actually the first part of the Sara story (as you can see if you look at the vocabulary list provided in lesson 33 and the vocabulary list of Sara story 1). Lesson 28 also seems to pick up from lesson 26. So nothing is actually missing, although I haven’t quite worked out yet what is supposed to replace lesson 29.

Also, thank you Mr. Freedel! Your course is absolutely the best available for learning Russian!
