Review of Living Language, Random House
CDs+Books, No pronunciation scores, Cheap, ★
They offer 18 languages. Usually $25 for a book and 4-8 CDs. The books (300-500 pages) cover a large amount of grammar. The format has varied, so you will find older versions with different formats.
Several Amazon reviewers say they are not for beginners and are not accurate. Trying out the Spanish Complete series, it has few repetitions and little time to repeat. It says a phrase in Spanish first, then English, then pause for you to say it once in Spanish; very confusing to have English in the middle and no repetitions. (Click for Arguelles' review which addresses the slightly older Ultimate series and even older series.)
