Synopsis
Since 1946, when Living Language pioneered study-at-home foreign language programs, the Complete Basic conversational series has been miles ahead of its competition. Originally designed to train overseas-bound diplomats and military personnel by Living Language's founder, Ralph Weiman (head of the US Government's War Department), this series has constantly evolved to meet all language needs, whether for work, school, travel, or fun.
Today the series includes eight languages with a coursebook, learner's dictionary, and three hours of recordings -- all for only $25.00. The price simply can't be beat! Best of all, every language in the series is now available on cassette or compact disc.
