I want to find a good German course. I know there's Duolingo, Babbel, Rosetta Stone, etc., but I find they don't work for me.

I want a course like the ones from 15-20 years ago that would give you some text books and some CDs for listening exercises.

I started learning German with one of those that my dad had, but unfortunately the audio lessons are incomplete.

I'd like to know where I can download/purchase a course in that format. I also prefer that format because my internet access is intermittent so I want to be able to study offline.

Thank you!

Ah, it sounds to me like you're wanting something kind of like the old Pimsleur German CDs. Looks like the current iteration is a subscription model with option to buy. I only remember the mp3s I downloaded years ago.

Second the pimsleur approach
