Do you know a language course called 20 hours?
These courses have been published in Italy in 1960/1965 in the following languages:
English,French,German,Spanish and Russian.

They were very comprehensive with 1600 pages and about 16 or 18 hours of audio in 52
vinyl records.

All explanations were with interlinear language(foreign language and Italian)

This are the free file in German,English and Russian languages:

provalo.htm


I think these are the best languages course published in Italy

Interesting. I listed to lesson 8 on the link above. The German accent sounded a little
funny.. are they Italians on recording? Or maybe just a regional accent..

I have downloaded some German and Russian lessons. I will look at them tomorrow. (I am having trouble with the audio on my computer at present. I will have to play them on my laptop.)

I like the look of them as well.

But 299 euros is a lot. Still, you seem to get a lot for your money. I think the price is comparable with Linguaphone.

They certainly are expensive, given the age of the material, but there seems to be a lot of high quality, colloquial language on them. They are ahead of their time.

For a downloadable course, I'd say about $99 is closer to the mark.

I'm a great fan of Linguaphone, but I believe they price themselves out of the acceptable range, especially when you can get both levels of a Living Language Ultimate course for a fraction of the price.
