  8. Sorry to comment so late, I'm just catching up. Just like everyone else, I found 2 Japanese languages on Transparent Language but, oddly, I only found the 5 Pimsleur books on OneClick Digital. The Living Language titles that other people mentioned did not show up. I would love to know how to find those. I searched "Spanish" and also "Living Language." Any hints to offer?
