I like Dragunkin's course. There are both audio and video.
I like a non-traditional, more understandable approach to learning a language.
And I also like what he says with humor. Positive emotions speed up memory

I would advise Petrov's course "Polyglot".

Pimsler as the course itself, Dragunkin as motivation and removal of psychological barriers, after that I highly recommend AJHoge - it's not quite elemernary, but very positive ... he has a special course where he tells in English how to learn English correctly.

Not really an audio course, but contains a lot of audio exercises - https://www.duolingo.com/

Ilona Davydova's audio course will be enough for the ability to speak English on simple topics.

You don't need audio courses if you can't read and understand as fast as you would in your native language. On the other hand, the simpler the topic, the easier it is to understand the speech. If you are fluent in reading simple texts, then some kind of children's course will suit you - there are plenty of them on the Web. In a word, choose according to your personal level. If you can’t read something quickly, then you won’t be able to catch it by ear, all the more so - only well-learned turns and constructions, you, without any training, will be able to perceive by ear (it’s enough to know how these words are pronounced, in which email will help you). . vocabulary). In any case, look for materials created by native speakers - in no case do not mess with all sorts of dragoons and polyglots - they will take you to the wrong steppe.

My father-in-law, an “experienced” teacher, adept at Cambridge English Language Assessment, FCE-CAE-TKT-etc-examiner, nervously spits and quite justifiably critically declares that some audio courses, and even more so from a Soviet manufacturer, are complete bullshit and will not lead to anything good.
Because true wei is an integrated approach: high-quality textbooks (Cambridge University Press, Longman) with workbooks and CDs with listening, videos, a competent Russian teacher or native speaker (because “just a native speaker” will not always be able to explain some important nuances understandable for you, and an illiterate Russian may simply not know them) and preferably group classes, films and books (live vocabulary and pronunciation) - and all this together, often and in large quantities.
But such “audio students”, “dragoons” and “lono-drinkers” have to be retrained in batches, because when it comes to real problems (passing IELTS for migration), all the fluff comes up, and knowledge disappears dramatically.
(Yes, yes, I have Dragunkin with Pimsler. Only shhh).

from personal experience.
half a year courses with us are worse than two weeks of courses with them,
so look for an opportunity and go to the language school of the country of the "language"
spoken part - you can put watching a familiar series in English / French / it with subtitles. colloquial speech is usually very simple and limited
vocabulary - reading a familiar book with an electronic dictionary
is all really overpowered by yourself.
but the coolest thing is immersion in the language environment

1. oigovoz.com
You can learn English and Spanish through repeated listening. There are ready-made sets of cards (limited sets) + you can create your own cards (in different languages) and upload them in .csv format (if you have your own phrase book). I even upload Greek there. You can listen in different modes.
2. youtube.com
https://www.youtube.com/user/engvidenglish (engvid.com)
https://www.youtube.com/user/bbclearningenglish (www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish)
The best channels . Very simple and clear lessons, new releases are constantly released.
3. CAPITAL FM 105.3
capitalfm.moscow
Radio station in English (Moscow). You can listen online on the site outside of Moscow. News releases and conversations in English, in the evenings - long stand-ups. A little more complicated than the previous options, but over time you start to get used to it and understand more.
