I should be receiving the new LL complete Russian in the post next week, and would be
interested in participating in a challenge/experiment, if we were to start in the next few weeks. @Embici, I have Dutch from the spoken world series sitting on my shelf, when my Russian set arrives if there's interest in this, I'll happily make a post comparing the differences between these 'new' LL courses and the Spoken World series. Btw just in case there's any confusion as to what the new LL courses are, I believe the OP is referring to the ones that have the bottom halves of two faces on the front.

After reading through the posts here, I was reminded that I did my own "TY Challenge" two Septembers ago
when I was studying Arabic. I completed both TY Arabic ( for MSA) and TY Gulf Arabic as my instructor was from Oman. It took me about four months, spending an hour a day, to get through both of them. I felt like I picked up a reasonable amount of Arabic after completing them and was quite pleased. I will say that I wasn't anywhere near a B1 level though! I'm not sure if I would even call my level A2 ( or the TY scale equivalent ). Perhaps upper A1? Arabic is such a rich, diverse and complex language, I'm sure that my TY results would have been more encouraging with a European tongue. This seems similar to what most people discovered with the Assimil challenge. I was hoping that LLs Ultimate Hebrew would be out by the time this challenge started. No such luck...Amazon says it comes out November 2013. Reviews say that the TY Hebrew course is dreadful. I might try out one of the spoken world courses instead, maybe Dutch?! @polydoc, how did you like the Spoken World Dutch?
