How much audio is included in these courses ? The description says it's
6 CD's, but are they full length ? I came across an older French Complete course and the
Cd's are about 35 minutes each. Also, are the vocabulary books broken down by lesson or
is it an alphabetical dictionary ?

I can't speak for the other languages, but the current French course has 3.9 total hours
of audio. I suspect this current course is the same as your older course, as all the
books are (c) 1980.

The vocabulary book is by lesson.

The Linguaphone Second/Expert courses (German/French/Spanish) have 60 units with an average of 4
minutes of actual audio per unit. So just under 4 hours in total.

I bought the German Second Stage course. While comprehensive, it was obviously created in the 1970s and is badly outdated in its subject matter, and in the rather dull design of its books. It needs updating, but I'm not expecting that to happen. Although it is certainly not useless, I prefer the Assimil "Perfectionnement Allemand" course, although you have to know French to use it, because there is no English version.
