Hey all,
I was wondering if there was an Assimil equivalent for other countries (specifically European ones like Italy, Spain, and Germany) that produced comprehensive series' they were well-known for like with Assimil and France? 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Professor Arguelles made a series on youtube, where he presented quite a lot of different companies publishing language learning materials.
It is a quite edifying and interesting presentation. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Teach Yourself and Colloquial are both British courses and almost always have British narrators on the audio.
I think Linguaphone is British too. Edited by LanguagePhysics on 29 July 2013 at 6:27pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Interesting. I have only ever seen their dictionaries and vocabulary builders. I think it would be cool to learn French with Assimil, German with Langenscheidt, etc...Have you ever used Langenscheidt to learn a language? Or do they only teach from German? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I used it to complement my learning of Latin, Icelandic and Finnish. Those old Langenscheidt textbooks are very dry, but also quite comprehensive. There is a lot of focus on grammar and translation. Langenscheidt has a new series now in their product line, but I cannot comment on those books and software products. Base language is German, but they have a course for those wanting to learn German too ... I don't know whether it's entirely in German, but I highly suspect the vocabulary to be translated into English.

Langenscheidt's new Russian course ("Russisch mit System") is the best language course I have ever worked with. Full stop.
I wished all language textbooks were that good. Edited by Josquin on 29 July 2013 at 7:57pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
