Hey everyone,
I've been studying Spanish for a while now, and want to return to review French. I'm a huge fan of the Assimil programs, and I"d love to practice both languages at the same time.
So, I'm looking for a copy of any generation of Francés sin Esfuerzo. Only problem is, the only one I can seem to find easily is going for $195 on Amazon.com. Could anybody point me towards a cheaper place that I could order this program?
Thank you,
Boisjolie

It's cheaper on abebooks. Still a little steep though. I couldn't find a better price on the usual sites that I shop.

depends whether you want the cd's as well?
You can buy it from Assimil for about 70 Euros. With the cd's. This is another one of those cases where it becomes second-hand and suddenly on Abebooks etc. it's worth its weight in gold.

Yes, I am also looking for the CDs. Well, I suppose buying from Assimil direct may be my best option. I've never paid that much for a course, though. Of the courses I've bought (Spanish, Japanese I & 2, French for English Speakers, and Ruso Sin Esfuerzo), they've all been around $35 or so.

Buying it directly from Assimil will be 65 Euros plus shipping. The price from the link I posted is about 60 Euros including shipping but hey it's your money.

I found a sight based out of Mexico that would probably get it to me faster and be a bit cheaper.
