The older Made Simple series were very good (and I mean those published originally in the 1970's) For those audio WAS available and I have both the book and audio for their French course. I agree that the new versions are below standard - but that seems to be par for the course with so many modern language courses.
@zocurtis I will have to make a video about the Made Simple series because they are not much different from Assimil, except they don't have any recordings.
@Codylangaugesblog Oh. My mistake. I guess I haven't watched enough of your videos. I heard you mention Hutchinson and googled it and got the one in Kansas. Though when I heard you say a word with what to my ears is a kind of Canadian lilt I wondered were you from nearer the border. That said, I can't imagine you're overflowin with embassies in Hutchinson. ;-)
@AndreR241 thats the coldest it ever gets. It doesn't happen often. Its not uncommon for it to be -29 to -9 Celsius during the winter though. Minnesota is right in the middle of north America. We are very land locked and have extreme weather. In the summer it can get as hot as 43 celsius but is usually 29 to 35.
Which languages have you learned so far?

Made Simple is AWESOME!!! I have all of their language learning books except Latin which I wouldn't learn because it is dead.

@Codylangaugesblog So the overall temperature seems to be nearly identical to ours. We have about 10° at the moment.
