Please note that the basic, enhanced and abridged editions of each podcast are based on the same audio content. The difference is that on the enhanced edition you can view the ‘flashcards’ on iTunes, iPod or QuickTime. For the abridged edition we’ve removed the introduction and ending to help you get more quickly to the learning content. The abridged edition is also enhanced so it too has synchronised “flashcards”.
