I love this series and have used it for multiple languages. However, it's unbelievable that a PDF of the transcripts wasn't included. Please provide them to enable purchasers to follow along to the audiobook properly!

Please provide a PDF of the transcript!!!!

Fairly boring and not completely accurate translations. Much better beginner books out there, from native speakers and much more interesting content.

Much better out there. Pretty boring.
