We have almost every language in the "short course" which is comprised of 5 CDs boxed together. In the more "popular" languages we also carry the "Complete course" which is a total of 6 sets of 9 discs each. Since we have a standing COP order with them, when 1 disc is lost or damaged we can buy just the one we need without replacing the whole set. This saves a whole lot of money. We also carry the Eyewitness travel guide languages. These are great for someone just wanting to know the basics before a vacation-type visit. The titles have 15-minute at the beginning of the title, such as 15-minute Spanish. These are cheap (less than $20) and they look great.
