I really enjoy the simplicity of the program and the speakers are very good. I am learningtwo versions of Spanish; for Spain and Mexico. This is a very easy program, but best not to listen to this while you are driving.I find it better to use while working out at the gym or while walking/running. The native speakers are easy to understand and they speak very clearly.
Not as advertised. Poorly produced. The female instructor speaks too fast to understand. I know that people who grew up in the language may speak that fast but it would be easier to learn if she slowed down.The program is also confusing. It is advertised that you would be learning MEXICAN Spanish. What you get is the Mexican way and then the Castellan way - immediately. Phrasing and words are different in most cases. This can be intimidating and confusing to a beginner. Nothing was said in the description about Castellan Spanish. After going through the first CD, I find it hard to be enthused about continuing through the other seven CD's.
To be honest I haven't delved into the complete package yet, but I am impressed with the product I received. There are 8 full 1 hours CD's in this package and what I've heard so far is impressive. I hope to improve my ability to speak and understand Spanish with this package and a little help from my friends.
It has helped a lot. Could be less repetitive and have more vocabulary. Did give me a good start though.The continuity from disc to disc was not contiguous and that was what prevented 5 stars.Also the theme music and intro on each disc is a waste of time. Other than that, pretty happy with the product.
Maybe an hour's worth of lessons on 8 CDs. The woman puts an 'sh' at the end of her verbs, which is very irritating, and wrong. Material is repeated over and over and over and over. Starts out okay, but gets old very quickly. There are so many other programs that are much better (and are free).
Friends, I got this set of cd's for my car. when you first get the package, you notice how cheap it looks, its not the color of the pictures, its black and white, like a copy. You open the package, and you notice how cheap the cd's look, like homemade. When you pop one in, he starts comparing Mexico slang words and spanish words. WHO CARES!!!!! on CD ONE!!!Push through all this crap!!!! it does get better, of course it HAS too. I have taken spanish in college, I have the pimslur cd's. So this was something new for me. I am not sure where one of the people are from, maybe Spain, even though it says mexican spanish. She has a lisp at the end of the "r's. Example. Ir is 'ear" to go. she says 'Ear-ish' . If you have no idea how to say it, you would be talking crazy.I am on Cd 4 of ten. If you are not interested, just skip ahead. Cd 4 is pretty good. So should you buy this. Well buy pimslur first. Thats better, I have that. they do not explain WHY things are the way they are, just memorize this. This program has WAY to much talking in english. I do not need to be told " repeat after me" like 10 times, I get it.If you have pimslur, and you are bored, and you have money to burn. Good ahead and get it. But this is not my first choice.Good luck.Dr. Darrell of michigan. ( I have been to Mexico twice and will go again in 8 months )
