Okay, so I have started to learn Polish. I completed both the foundation and advanced Michel Thomas course (they are fantastic btw!). Now, I want to get written material, like a textbook, so that I can practice reading, writing, and working through exercises. I've read on this forum that "First Year Polish" by Swan is an excellent course. So I downloaded the entire PDF course, but I am having a hard time dealing with the audio.
First Year Polish Audio
I found this link that provides the audio, however I am having a hard time finding which CDs correspond to each lesson. Sometimes when a track cites which page the conversation is coming from, I turn to the page and there is no matching conversation. It is really confusing.
Is it possible that someone can point me to an alternate source, where I can find the mp3 files? I find that they also load very slow on the link I provided. Or help me understand how the CDs/tracks work with the book?
Thanks for your time!

I just realized that the audio that I provided the link to is the audio for the second edition. Does anyone know where I can get a hold of the second edition? Is it available in a PDF or just in print? Thanks.

The 2nd edition was released in 1983 and is available on Amazon Marketplace for $20 or cheaper. As far as I know, whatever passes for the "3rd edition" refers to the online version on Swan's website.
