All the CDs for one language cost nearly a thousand dollars. The .mp3's are about half that. Your local library may carry the CDs, those that don't may be able to get them via inter-library loan (ask your librarian). You can also find them used and re-sell them for nearly as much (depending on how long you want to wait), after you finish. Be certain to get the same edition for all levels.

I think this program is amazing for beginners. You could speak absolutely nothing of a language and leave with being able to hold a conversation in real time. It is very expensive, though. Especially because you have to buy each language separately.
