There have been three versions of Assimil Spanish produced throughout the years. One from the 1950's , one from the 1980's, and this new one is from 2014. These aren't simply new editions of the same book, but rather a completely new book with new recordings in each of the three. I own all three and all three are well done and worth using, but of the three this new edition is my favorite and most user-friendly.The previous version left a lot of white space on the edges of the pages and was difficult to read for many people due to smaller font. This version has corrected that issue and is much easier to read. Every 7 lessons is a review lesson in the books and in the past no audio was provided for the review lessons but in this version there is audio. The speakers on the CDs speak clearly and the audio is great.Most of you coming here will probably be familiar with the Assimil method but for those of you who aren't the premise is very simple but very effective. One the left side in the book you have the Spanish and on the right side you have English. This makes practice translating back and forth between the languages simple to do. Instead of having a mountain of grammar drills such as the FSI program had which most people cannot stick to long term or being extremely lacking in the practice department such as the Teach Yourself program is, this program takes the middle ground and gives you just enough bite size chunks to feel like you are making real progress with each lesson without overwhelming you.This program is high priced for what it is, it's true . A paperback book with 100 lessons and 100 audio tracks shouldn't cost this much. I must say , however, it is worth buying regardless.
