I was wondering if these programs were any different from the normal Living Language programs, and if so, whether or not they're any good.
Anyone have any experience with them? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Where are you finding this course? I just looked on their site and I can't find it.

There are only a few courses (Dutch, Greek, Thai, Irish and a few more), but they're all on Amazon from what I've seen. They're coming out on April 28, but I was wondering if anyone had anything to say about them beforehand. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Oh ok I know what you are talking about now. Yeah I have seen them in some bookstores in my area. I want to pick up the Farsi course, but from what I hear about them they are actually not bad. Of course I have not actually bought one so I don't really know for sure. I would buy one tho. I have read some reviews on them and most of them are positive. The only complaint I think I have found on the Farsi one is they don't teach you the alphabet. So just learn it before you pick it up/buy it.
You say they are coming out on April 28? That's odd because I have seen the Farsi, Dutch, and Thai out for quite some time. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I was mistaken, apparently; several new ones are coming out on the 28th. I simply assumed that this was true for all of them after checking the first 3.
Thanks for the post. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I have the Korean book, and it is quiet good. The audio CD's for home learning are well recorded; however, I don't listen to the CD's for the road as they have English in them.
I would give the series 9 stars out 10 for a solid introduction into a language. Well worth the price. Edited by digitlhand on 24 April 2009 at 4:55pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
