Yup, you'll notice that several more times in the second volume. There is one whole lesson that differs from the audio. Edited by newyorkeric on 12 February 2012 at 4:00pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Eric... definitely hit lesson 79 yesterday.
Lesson 79 audio is 100% different than the text, besides the title. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Really? I have gone over lesson 79 several times via shadowing and in my Assimil the text and the audio match, neither have I had a problem with differing sentences in other lessons between text and audio.
I bought my Assimil set October last year ( book publish mark 2005, audio publish mark 2006) , by any chance are you using an older out of date version? Maybe you should ask the palce where you bought it to swap for the most recent one if that is the case. Edited by eggcluck on 16 February 2012 at 7:09am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

eggcluck, I just bought mine off Amazon.com brand new a few months ago. At first these
mishaps were an issue for me because I thought it was really important that I followed Assimil to the "T". But I've since realized it doesn't matter because I know anything I miss in Assimil I'll run into with other materials or in a later lesson. Update: My progress has been really smooth lately. The details of my method change everyday, but the overall idea that guides my "in-lesson" decisions is the same. I basically do two steps in each session. Step. 1 - As quickly as possible gain independent understanding of the recorded dialogue, without the aid of the text (english/pinyin/hanzi). Skim grammar notes. Step. 2 - Re-listen to that dialogue as much as possible, as long as I understand it, until I do the next lesson the next day. Refer to pinyin if I forgot the meaning or some clarification is needed, if the pinyin doesn't trigger recognition than I'll refer to the English. I want to keep my usage of the text to a minimum and capitalize on listening input. Goal = Concentrate as much direct exposure to comprehensible input as possible into my study time. When I start making videos, I want to address the issue of memorizing the dialogues without actually comprehending the target language. As this is a complaint of some people to listening-reading, but also because this was actually what I did wrong when I used Platiquemos and I am successfully avoiding the issue with Assimil.

44 lesson AP, 93 lesson PP today. Pretty stoked, I am regularly coming across all sorts
of realizations about grammar and word usages and stuff. I continue to be extremely excited about the language, even after working for 30min to 2hrs everyday for the last 90 days straight. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Keep up the good work.
Did you get cd's with it or tapes? It's just that I can find a few for sale on ebay but they come with tapes. Or do you know anywhere where I could buy or get the audio only so once I buy the books, I can use instead of tapes. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I got the CDs and I believe, but I'm not sure, that you can get them on Amazon without
the books. But honestly, it was only 30$ per volume w/ the CDs on Amazon. 1 person has voted this message useful |
