Audio is available for free on their website. Really useful for learning Grammar, which other books don't cover well imo. This book more of a sentence construction workbook focusing on common sentence types such as comparative or infinitive. The books use variables to indicate stem types, but it has to reneger what the variables indicate. They aren't used enough to be memorable and really don't serve much purpose since I think it would be just as easy to fill in the ending. Just use the stem type. I can't remember what a q stem is. Not necessary.
