I remember using a Hungarian linguaphone course back in 1989. I got it in the library and it came with 4 cassettes. However, I can't find any record of it's existence. I hope I'm not misremembering some other course. I'd love to find it again.

If I remember correctly, the Czech course was basically a Teach Yourself course repackaged as a Linguaphone course (like the Cantonese course).

I think, in the case of Czech and Cantonese, Linguaphone took the TY book as it was at the time, and added audio to it. There was an understandably disgruntled poster on here a while back, who had bought the Czech course off Ebay or somewhere like that, and was disappointed to find an old TY book in a Linguaphone case. He paid about $100 for it, if memory serves me.
Polish and Tagalog need to be added to the Linguaphone list. There were also second stage courses for French and German, and now Spanish too, and Linguaphone also produced an English course that had three levels.
I think Linguaphoen is following the repackaging trend, and now labels the old intermediate courses as advanced, and the basic courses beginner to intermediate. Before the only 'advanced' course was the English course.
