Despite telling the creator the flashcards aren't available he would not change them. From the Q&A, I'm not the only one with this problem. The questions are impossible because they're all in Swahili with no key and the videos have poor audio with lots of noise in the background and often the subtitles go too quickly or are on a red against red background. Waste of money.
