Is the new Occitan course a completely new edition? I'd love to get my hands on both. Has anyone here used/seen either course?

@ Crush,
I presume Occitan is new, as the course has 100 lessons, while the other had if I
remember 77 lessons.

Awesome, thanks. So the course on the Assimil site is the new course (100 lessons in a mere 720 pages!). The Catalan course was really great and lots of fun to go through, i hope the Occitan course is on par. I really need to buff up my French...

Sad news team. I hit up Assimil for an update:
Quote:
Is the new Spanish course for English speakers now for sale? I did not see any
beginning Spanish course for sale on the website currently, so I wanted to email and
ask.
Also, is German for English speakers still on track for an April release? And will
Arabic, Hebrew & Yiddish for English speakers all be out soon as well?
Thank you for all of the updates. I always look forward to new releases to be able to
buy and suggest to my friends! |

At least they're still on the table! I really wish they'd put out a Quechua course...

Aw man, a Quechua course would be great! Personally, I would love a Polish course for English speakers, as Polish is now the second most spoken language in the U.K.

Do I understand you well, and this means that they will basically reprint the old "Spanish with ease" and will not release the English version of the "L'Espagnol"?
