> media resources (CDs/DVDs)  Berlitz, Firefly, Lonely Planet, Rough 
> Guides... is one publisher better than another?  I was hoping somebody 
> could provide some assistance.

> In order of importance, I would immediately like to replace items for 
> the following languages:
>
> + Chinese (Mandarin/Cantonese), French, German, Italian and Spanish
>
> The next languages would likely be:
>
> + Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Portuguese, 
> Vietnamese and Yiddish
>
> At the bottom of the list:
>
> + Dutch, Gaelic, Polish, Russian, and Swedish
>
