Does anyone know how long it generally takes for Amazon.fr to have Assimil books in stock, after they've been
released? It's now possible to order L'ukrainien sans peine from Assimil.com, but I generally prefer Amazon since shipping is easier to track and usually more secure. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

No idea, but I ordered the new Russian from Assimil directly on Friday, they sent me an email saying it was shipping
yesterday, and I got the package (I live in the North of England) this morning!!! Very impressed with the speed of delivery :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Unfortunately, I didn't have a pleasant experience with them. I ordered Russian with ease directly on their website
and they sent me a Thai course instead. My email exchange with them after that was very awful too. Very bad customer experience in my opinion. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

According to the Italian branch of Assimil the new version of Claude Dessard's Il Latino
Senza Sforzo (the old Latin Sans Peine) which has been re-recorded with church and restored classical Latin is in the post. I hope the text hasn't changed as I can read French but not Italian. I'll give a report when it drops through the door... Edited by Elexi on 08 April 2012 at 1:17pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There's a new Portuguese book out, called, sensibly enough, Le portugais, which I presume
tackles the standard language of Portugal. It's currently available from Assimil.com. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Oh, is that soon? The old audio is in a thick horrible french accent, but the material in the book I've seen been gotten lots of praise. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I got it today - based on comparing the excerpt from Cicero's Catiline orations to those
of Leo Latinus/Nikolaus Groß, the restored classical Latin appears to be properly done - they are professionally recorded (i.e. no reverb or appearance of distance from the mic) and spoken faster than the old recordings. They are in a recognisable Italian accent, however, but that does not really bother me compared to the old Dessard recordings. I've only listened to the ecclesiastical Latin a little - it also appears well done. The text is an unmodified (but Italian in L2) version of the original Dessard edition of Le Latin Sans Peine, so that book has come alive to us again. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
