has terrible translations (but awesome audio), while Using French is a credible
continuation from NFWE.

The experience of the difference in quality for Assimil courses between these two
languages would make me
wonder which block L'Espagnol will be a chip off of.

I've cannot find the thread on it, but I recall reading comparisons of L'espagnol with
Spanish with Ease and recall the L'Espagnol as seeming better. Hopefully the quality of
the translation is up to snuff!

I can't find the old thread, but one thing I remember people saying is that it looked
like the English version was simply translated from the French version, so one problem
is that the grammar explanations focus on the things a French speaker would need to
know about, not the things an English speaker needs to know. (But I haven't used it
myself, I'm just recalling what users had to say about it).
