The french one has some theatre-style dialogues as a final disc which looked like you could get your teeth into them. I can't comment further as I don't have it with me and I haven't begun to learn with it. My copy was actually incorrectly packed and I am missing this final disc. If someone reading this will take pity on my I would greatly appreciate the audio for this disc, and I have paid for the rest of the course legally. If you could send it in an email to liam.porter@gmail.com I would be delighted. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Now I wish I had bought it when Lidl had it for £5. I doubt I would go through the
course, but I think I would use the audio for some comprehensible input. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I just bought the German course.
It is being sold new by a seller for £6.5 +shipping. If you ask the seller nicely, you might be able to get it shipped internationally. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/3632988757 Edited by Gemuse on 21 March 2014 at 5:08pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I´m glad someone has taken my tip, although I repeat that I can´t vouch even for the
quality of the edition of the series (French) that I own, since I have only ever leafed through it to confirm that it would be suitable for shadowing, for when I turn to French. The audio seems like good no-nonsense, uninterrupted L2, albeit with large pauses. Let me know what you think of it, Gemuse. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Got it today. Review: The approach of the book is to try to cement everyday sentence structures and phrases as a unit in the learners head. It also presents grammar inside the lessons after the dialogues, and also a vocabulary used in the lesson. It explains things more than Assimil. It is like a textbook-Assimil mix. Audio is entirely in German. The level of the book goes up to, and including A2.1 (so unfortunately the reviewer was right). The audio speed goes upto A1.2. People who are studying for A2.2 might still find the course useful if their audio comprehension is lagging behind. Beyond A2.2, this course is too basic. As my audio is lagging, I will find the course useful. But I also really, really wish they had a follow up course. That would have been awesome. I would recommend this before Assimil. Book printed in Germany, on pulp fiction kind of paper. 1 person has voted this message useful |
