Please, elaborate and give details.

This way if a potential learner is informed, then the product can be modified by the customer to help learn the target language or just be avoided.

The Armenian and Tamil courses have been discontinued, so if you're interested in either, grab them now.

I didn't think so at all. The lessons were appropriately sized, for the most part were interesting, and even
contained several dialogs with regional accents.

@flydream777,

Thanks for your review. I am interested to know more about the new programs, as some do change either for the better or worse. I found the Brazilian Portuguese program like you to be useful. I did find the dialogue to be a little slow at first, but someone can modify and speed that up. The new Spanish base will help me, as I will use it to instinctively compare the two languages back and forth out loud.

A note on the new learn Italian program has less vocabulary, than the previous edition, but it is still useful for the learner.

I had the opportunity to glance through the new "Perfectionnement Allemand" at the bookstore. It looks like a very
significant update over the last version. It has 70 lessons instead of 56, 4h10 of audio instead of 2h40, and looks
more like a continuation of the newer "L'Allemand". The audio of some lessons is available
here. I am currently going
through the old version, but I may try the new one afterwards.
