This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.
Learn Russian the unforgettable way!
The Russian word for JUICE is SOK. You must imagine drinking JUICE from a SOCK, AS VIVIDLY AS YOU CAN, for 10 seconds. Unless you picture the image for the full 10 seconds, you will not experience for yourself how amazingly effective the method is.
The Russian for BUTTER is MASLO. Imagine my slow sister spreading butter.
The Russian for BEER is PEEVO. Imagine being peeved at not having any beer.
Oh, I get it. Using this method, one can commit such words as "dostoprimachatel'nosti" (sites of interest to tourists) to memory, quickly and easily: just imagine Dosto(evsky), working as a Petersburg tour guide at a low point in his career, telling a prima donna that she's nothing but nasty chattel. Dosto-prima-chattel-nasty. Foolproof!
Dear god.
Order this revolutionary course here for only $9.99! Best of all, the programme features "No Grammar and no sentence structure" - and we all know how incidental grammar is to the Russian language, don't we?

i remember there used to be an advertisement on the radio for learning spanish, quickly and easily. something involved spelling the word socks: S-O-C-K-S. I'm not entirely sure what "eso si que es" means, but it was something that the commercial told me i'd never forget....
