Actually they are making one. I sent them an email a month or two ago, and here was their response:
Indeed, we are preparing courses for English speakers as Arabic, Hebrew and Russian (methods collection) and Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Russian (phrasebooks collection).
We have a new Export Manager and he has the will to develop the English market.
Fingers crossed it's still being developed. |

Ah, that's great news! I wonder what made them change their mind. I remember we had a thread on here a few years back getting a lot of people to request that certain courses be made, but it wasn't successful if I recall correctly.

That is awesome!! I've been hoping that Assimil would make a Hebrew program for English speakers! I can't wait for it to come out... Any guesses on how long it will take them?
