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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
