I thought it'd be worthwhile to compose a list of all Assimil generations for certain
languages. This list might come in handy for those who believe that the older editions had more vocabulary and grammar squeezed into them or for those who simply want to tackle more than one edition at a time. If you think this is reasonable, be so kind and check your own edition(s), then add it/them to the list. I'm mainly interested in Russian, French and Hebrew. Here's what I managed to find so far. Assimil Russian: 2011 - Russian with ease: 100 lessons (25th: Birthday, 50th: Cunning, 75th: A superstitious person) 2008 - Russisch ohne Mühe heute: 71 lessons (25th: Welche Pläne haben Sie?, 50th: Herzlich willkommen!, 71st: Sich kennenzulernen, ist leicht, aber sich zu trennen, ist schwer) 1973 - Le russe sans peine: 100 lessons (25th: L'argent, 50th: De bonne humeur, 75th: Lettre de Leningrad) 1951 - Russian without toil: 100 lessons (25th: You like to spend money, 50th: In good temper, 75th: A waking dream) Assimil French: 2008 - Französisch ohne Mühe: 113 lessons (25th: Deux histoires droles, 50th: Une lettre, 75th: Une consultation efficace) 1967 - French without toil: 140 lessons (25th: Qui sont les Duval ?, 50th: En route pour Paris, 75th: C'est dommage) Assimil Hebrew: 1982 - L'hébreu sans peine, Tome 1: 63 lessons (25th: Pour mieux voir, 50th: Les lieux saints) That's all I could find so far. Let's see if others can add more editions to the list! Edited by BenMilim on 20 August 2012 at 3:02pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I've been trying to find out whether a different generation of Assimil's french courses
exists, to no avail. Would anyone have any information on this? It'd be strange if they hadn't updated their French cours between 1940 and 1980 (I guess New French with Ease came out around that time). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

There is:
French Without Toil French With Ease New French with Ease Using French Business French French from the Word Go (a phrasebook) Also there was a course called Let's Learn French French with Ease and New French with Ease are substantially the same course. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

So apparently New French with Ease is basically the same as French with Ease with a
couple of additional lessons? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Basically, I'm just surprised about how relatively unchanged the French courses remained
throughout the last decades, compared to the many completely revised Russian courses. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That is probably because French Without Toil is so comprehensive and entertaining...

New French with Eaae is good too. I'd be interested in French Without Toil if the audio was available in mp3 format. It seesm Assimil could increase revenue by just republishing some of the vintage courses with updated audio format. 1 person has voted this message useful |
