say if I bought Niederlandisch ohne muhe, if I were to find the tapes of Dutch with Ease, would the tapes be the same?
as I understood, the tapes only contain the target language and I can assume all the courses follow the same structure, or no?

Yes, they are most likely the same. If in doubt, you can check the ISBN numbers on the Assimil website.

I have "Dutch With Ease." If you want to post some random sentences from random lessons I can tell you if they match.

Niederlandisch ohne muhe and Dutch With Ease are different courses. I have both and they are completely different.

I bought Niederlandisch ohne muhe when I lived in Germany and found it useful. I bought Dutch With Ease after I returned to Australia and found it excellent. I bought the full course with cassettes from Borders.

My German Niederlandisch ohne muhe is without audio but I did send for a free copy of the first record.

hmm :(
it's because for now I will only have access to the old book, a pity, it would be easier to find the English version. no matter, I can handle the thing with no audio.

on another note, if anyone is able to provide some help with locating the audio I need, fell free the contact me by pm

Did you end up buying a book, Bushwick?

I've been able to find audio of Dutch with Ease but I'm not sure what book goes with
it.

There are 83 lessons and the first lesson has a dialogue where a man talks about his sick
family. I compared it to the sample on Soundcloud of Le NĂ©erlandais and it's completely
different. I don't know any Dutch but I can tell that the title of the lesson and the
dialogue and speakers are different. Plus the sample on Soundcloud indicates at least 100
lessons.

The audio for Dutch with Ease goes with Dutch With Ease.

There are 3 generations of beginners Dutch courses by Assimil, all with different
audio:

Dutch Without Toil/Le Neerlandais sans Peine/Niederlandisch ohne muhe/ Nederlands
Zonder
Moeite by A Cherel (in print from the 1950s-1980s)

Dutch With Ease/Le Nouveau Neerlandais Sans Peine/Niederlandisch ohne muhe heute/Het
Nieuwe Nederlands Zonder Moeite by Leon Verlee (1980s-2011)

Le Neerlandais - Collection sans peine by Ineke Paupert (2011-) (the current one in the
French base)
