I want to make this thread as a reference to the Assimil programs criticised.
For example: Name: L'Esperanto Sans Peine Base: French Generation: 2nd? Criticism: Heavy French accent Name: Latina senza sforzo Base: Italian Generation 2nd? Criticism: Many typographical errors in the book, errata sheet available, instead of printing corrections in the book Name: Using Spanish Base: English Generation: 2nd? Criticism: Many translation errors Name: Norwegisch ohne Mühe Base: German Generation: 2nd? Criticism: Many translation and grammar errors Edited by alang on 15 March 2014 at 12:46am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I am not certain, but the new Brazilian Portuguese was mainly the dialogues were not varied and seemed almost childish or something. Edited by alang on 15 March 2014 at 12:48am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Name: Le nouveau Grec sans peine
Base: English Generation: 2 nd ed Criticism: Stilted and strange dialogues. It turned me off Greek completely.i could not get past the first 5 dialogues. When I start Greek again I will do the book I used two years ago, which I loved, first, and then come back to Assimil when I have a base, in the hope that I will then be able to rush through the first lesson and hopefully find more interesting dialogues later on in the book. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I remember hearing about:
Arabic with ease: boring dialogues and extremely slow audio Le coreen: boring dialogues, relies too much on romanization rather than hangul, I think. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well, technically there's no such thing as "native" Esperanto for us to take as standard, so every kind of spoken Esperanto will have an accent from somewhere... =P 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||
