On the lessons 27-52 page, seventy (70) of the links do not work.

It could be any number of reasons why the links do not work. As examples: On the lessons 1-26 page click on lesson 2-08 and the see if the audio plays. On the lessons 27-52 page click on lesson 31-01b. Newbie United States Joined 4151 days ago - Speaks: * Studies. Descargar Libro Lazarillo De Tormes Vicens Vives Solucionario more. Message 11 of 1914 December 2006 at 8:46pm IP Logged For some of these, there isn't supposed to be a recording for the lesson, for section 2-08 for example, the workbook and studyguide says you are supposed to review the video or the text work up (2.01 a through e) for the lesson.

When I was working through chapter 2 this at first confused me too - I dont know why there is a link there for 2-08 - apparently there is a link for each lesson of the workbook even if there isn't supposed to be a recording for that workbook section. If you read the workbook and study guides, and read what is required for each lesson, you'll see I mean - if there isn't a little headphone symbol in the workbook for that lesson, then there's no recording you need to listen to.

By the way, you can find used text books for as little as $1.00 (the 1987 version) through abebooks, the text book contains a partial transcript of each video and is required for some of the lessons in the workbook. The 1987 version of the textbook is fine, although I heard the newer text books are about twice as many pages and have a lot more info in them, they're about $30.00 used. I've been getting by fine with the older text book.

You can also find a transcript for the first 26 programs here, click on teachers index, then go under suggestions by lesson. You should buy the workbooks new, otherwise they are likely to have lots of writing in them. Make sure you get the 1994 or newer versions of the workbooks, the exercises in the 1987 versions don't match up with the audiofiles on the College of DuPage site. I initially ordered some used 1987 workbooks, there were full of writing and the lessons didn't match up with the audio files. The study guides are necessary if you're using the course on you own, they contain material to help you through the lessons in the workbook. I found used 1994 study guides for about $10 each.

Some drills require to check the correct answer in the textbook or fill in the blanks. But most of them give grammar explanations or audio variations or even just repeating drills.

I like to listen to them, even though I don't have the text workbooks yet. Thanks for the link, by the way!
