For the longest while, Living Language had a new French course called "Living Language French - Complete Edition" and I've been waiting and hoping for a German edition.
I happened to check again today and it turns out that they released Spanish, German and Italian. Amazon shows it as being published just yesterday. Here are the Amazon links:
Living Language German - Complete Edition
Living Language Spanish - Complete Edition
Living Language Italian - Complete Edition
I've ordered the German one and it should arrive on Fri

Please let us know your thoughts on their new course. If possible please give us a rough
estimate of the number of words covered in the course. Thank you and good luck with your
studies!

According to Theodore D. Sternberg: if the French version is any indication, then beware.

What Living Language needs to do is stop making so many other series all the time. They can't just make one series
that is very in-depth that has great text and audio and then do many languages for that type of course. By this I
mean an equivalent to Assimil's type of series.
In the past Living Language had great courses like the Ultimate courses or the Spoken World. Sadly these are
basically, in my view, the only good courses to have been made. I'm only talking about the newer versions with
audio and not the old versions.
They keep making new courses that are dumbed down and only for a few languages. Those sell for a while and then
they do another course with the same languages it seems like. What they should have done was expand on their
Ultimate Series and Spoken World series.
