Here are just a few updates on Pimsleur. Simon and Schuster has been consistently expanding their product line. Hungarian I (Comprehensive), Romanian I (Comprehensive) and Greek II are all recent additions.
When they finally add a comprehensive level product for a language, they also add a Quick and Simple or Basic level product (the first 8 lessons of Comprehensive) and an Instant Conversation (the first 16 lessons of comprehensive). The Instant Conversation is usually for a pretty good price considering for about $50 you get half of the $200+ Comprehensive set. But, if you want that full 30 lessons, you have to pay for it. That's why I think Instant Conversation is a (relatively) cost-effective intro to the language and the Pimsleur method.
Upcoming Comprehensive products include Croatian (Jan 2009), Eastern Arabic III (May 2009) and Hebrew III (July 2009).Here is a link to another reviewers thought son Pimsleur Spanish : http://gearheart.wordpress.com/2008/12/03/learn-spanish-with-pimsleur-a-review/

Question: when Pimsleur publishes a Comprehensive Level I language, does that mean we can count on Comprehensive Levels II and III in the same language coming out, too?
