The person saying the words is saying them too fast, and gives no time for me to repeat more than once. I don't know of which set of words she wants me to repeat in matching them of what she said. The book does not match the CDs, therefore, I cannot see what she is telling me to say. There is no opportunity to write the words down phonetically, so I can pronounce them as she says them. If I could get my money back, I would ask for it. I have had these CDs since June and I am still on tape one. The odd thing about it, the language does not apprear to be difficult if time for each phrase or word is given to repeat. Only in the way it is being delivered makes it difficult to repeat or just to say.
