If you want to relearn the grammar try the Teach Yourself series. My ladies mom was a professor of Russian Literature and she and my lady help me with my lessons. They both said that my book was very accurate. Some of the others had mistakes. Nothing major but just a little off. Sort of like my own translations and conversations. Usually understandable but a little off.

Good enough for me and light, easy to carry.  Its been to and from Russia many times with me now.  I think it cost $2.95 plus tax.  The best way to learn Russian is with weekly private lessons from a Russian speaking teacher.
Pimseuleur is good to supplement your learning.  I like Learn in Your Car Russian as well.  It is extremely hard for me to learn Russian - but fun.

I have the Katzner dictionary and think it is pretty good. As far as learning to understand, read and speak Russian, try Rosetta Stone. It's a little pricy (about $200 for the first CD) bet well worth it. You can get the intro lessons for $20 to see if this method will work for you.

You can also pay for Rosetta Stone lessons with a monthly access fee. My wife used this to supplement her learning of English and found it to be quite useful. just go to their website.

Thanks, I may try that. Though I don't have a need to learn Russian anymore, I'd like to finish what I started. At least I'll get one thing out of this expierience.
