Well, German is the language I'd like to focus on next. As of now, I have the following
for it:

All levels of Michel Thomas
Pimsler 1-3
Two old versions of Colloquial German
One old version of Hugo: German in 3 months
One old version of the Berlitz Self-Teacher: German
A 1980's version of Linguaphone: German
German Without Toil (though, this one still has not been delivered in spite of being
ordered over 2 and a half weeks ago. It is starting to make me nervous!)

I won't have an opportunity to begin using these until the end of this month, but I'd
like to think I can get through it all in about a year. This also doesn't count all the
random things I've downloaded, but I prefer physical copies

I'm not a collector/hoarder at all, but on the other hand I still have a couple of
Russian courses gathering dust since I gave up on the language (Penguin and Princeton)
which I'm sure could keep me busy for a good year at least. But then again, if I were to
start learning Russian again I'd just skip these and go for Assimil instead. Apart from
that, it'll probably be another few months before I finish Perfectionnement Italien and
my second run through Using French.

Hahaha, I LOVE to buy new language learning materials. A vice, some might say, but there are worse ways to spend your money. By the time I got through them all, I'd make Methuselah look young. And I suppose it would be Zeno's paradox: I go on buying more, meaning it takes more time to complete, more time means I go on buying more, ad infinitum. I hope there's a language lab in heaven, lol.
