I'm looking for TY Further French, by Robert Olorenshaw. The book is largerly available (ebay etc) but the audio is very hard to find. If anyone could help me, I'd be very thankful.

I wondered, if someone tried the new TY courses, since I last posted here..
And therefore I wonder, where is the difference between

I mean, I know that the last one is newer, but is it very different? Better or worse?
And where is the difference between the first two?

EDIT: I don't know why, but the links doesn't seam to work as hyperlinks..

I saw TY Hindi yesterday in Waterstones, thats my next purchase:) All in Hindi script too.


I have TY Hindi previous edition, Snell, the book with love story, and I believe it is one of the better books out there. It used to be the textbook of choice in many universities all over the world, until Tuttle(?) came up with Elementary Hindi by Delacy.

EDIT: Just double checked the year of that post. Oh well, I hope you enjoyed your purchase!

Since you mentioned it... what's Delacy's textbook like? What's good about it? What's it lacking?

Jeffers, I did not end up buying the Delacy's book. But I did have a classmate who used to be his student and had studied from what ended up to be that book. Heard a lot of praise from there. Also, many universities switched to Delacy soon after, which, in my opinion, also says much. Otherwise, why would they bother? It's quite a lot of work, all the supplementary stuff needs to be made from scratch. Plus, there is a workbook, which TY does not have. Amazon has good reviews (4.4 for Delacy, 3.9 for Snell).
