User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Excellente!
As far as pure audio sets go this one is excellent. Most language CD’s/tapes ask you to parrot their material, expecting you to figure out the grammer rules some other time. This does both, so you can build sentences beyond the practice phrases. The spanish is “high” Spanish. It is articulate and given at three speeds- slow, medium, then conversational.
1 Stars Not for beginners
This audio immerses you too fast. Each CD adds words and conjugations in no particular order. It’s very confusing to someone who has no background in Spanish. The words are very hard to understand without seeing the spellings. I can’t even understand the words I do know in Spanish. S and F sound too much the same. They should only do this if they include video. Sound is not enough for a beginner.
1 Stars Very Disappointing
I am very disappointed with this language program. This CD gives you very little chance to practice phrases and vocabulary (as opposed to most language programs that have you listen and repeat over and over). Plus, the exact pronunciations are difficult to hear making it impossible to develop any confidence in your speaking abilities. With so many language programs available, I would never recommend this one.
