buying on ebay or wherever.

Yes, that was exactly what I had in mind when I started that thread.

I have the German course. I always wanted to use it, it looked so dense and packed with wonderful dialogues and information. But the instructions just seemed way too daunting and I never ended up using it regularly. Pick up this book, look at that book, rewind the track, then pick up the written exercises but don't do them yet, then go back to the original book, then do the.... it was just way too confusing and I wasn't sure in the end what the actual way to do it was. I wish someone would have sat down with me and showed me the proper way to go through it, I think I would have really enjoyed it.

You just went through a laundry list of sequential instructions and then you say you don't know the actual way. While I have not done a LP course, it sounds like that they do give clear instructions if you have all the books and tapes. While they may seem complicated in switching back and forth, that does not make them unclear or confusing.

The instructions that they give in the order they give them *are* the actual way. If what you mean is that you don't wish to do it like that for whatever reason, or are trying to find a way to shortcut the process, then state that and maybe some forum members here can give you such alternate methods of using the course.
