Good, but not as good as its predecessor

I ahve been learning Hungarian as a challenge for a few years now. I started with the previous Colloquial Hungarian course (by Szuzsa Pontifex?) which was in my opinion a lot more fun, relevant and had much better audio materials - quite fast, but not as fast as the recordings on this newer course. The new course is still probably the best out there, but I don't think it represents any improvement on the previous one!

It's a good course. Audio material could be better.

I'm using this course to get familiar with hungarian language before actually coming to Hungary - and as such don't have native speakers around. While book is very good structured, I have enormous difficulties to understand the dialogs on Audio-CD. Each dialog is recorded only once, and even from the beginning on the "full-speed" - as it will be spoken in the real live. I thougth the book is for beginners!
Langenscheidt in their "30 days"-series records first 10 lessons twice - in "slow" version and then the real spoken. I think that is something the publishers of this book should think about.
