How do I do this? First and foremost, I edit the tapes by getting rid of all the gaps so that I obtain at least two hours of solid and continuous narrative in the target language only. The instructions provided at the beginning of each book are adequate, but you need to tailor them to suit you. I assume that most people participating in this forum will be aware that it is important to figure out their own learning style and to take control of the learning process by modifying any program they use. I cannot help but believe that the negative utterances about Assimil stem from a failure to use the courses correctly rather than from an inherent weakness in the method. I myself have attained some sort of genuine competence in several dozen languages, and most of the time an Assimil program was the cornerstone of my progress. I have purchased every single course they make for my personal language laboratory and unhesitatingly recommend them to any of my students who are serious about learning languages. I firmly believe Assimil to be the very best method available and had imagined that all language lovers would concur that these handbooks were their best friends. I was truly astounded to read the negative overall review of Assimil in the program section of the FAQ and to see some other slighting comments about Assimil in various other postings.
