At nearly 62, it is hard to teach yourself another language, but this course has helped me enough to be able to at least communicate on the most basic level . It takes much longer to get things to stick in my head at my age, but you can repeat the CD's as much as is needed and hear how the words are pronounced. It's very helpful!
You might find it useful as a way to begin studying Spanish on your own, though for me, that would be impossible. I bought it to refresh my very old high school Spanish for a trip to Spain and found it less useful than 15-Minute Spanish for that purpose, partly because 15-Minute has more traveller-oriented vocabulary and partly because it teaches Castillian pronunciation and LL uses Latin-American. (I learned Castillian 'way back when.)That is not to criticize the product as much as . It's something that should be somewhere in the product description. Not the only time I have found a description to be incomplete.
This Living Spanish is perfect for a dumb Anglo as myself. No presssure style, easy Englihs to Spanish and Spnaish to Englihs, contemporary phrase, just enough grammar to learn and not get put off. Esta bien. LIkely to purchase the Intermediate and Advanced versions of this very user-friendly CD language learning. Muchas Gracias.
You really must use the book and do the lessons from the book as the CD can be confusing. I had to constantly rewind the CD to get the lessons "sink in". I used this as a companion to the Spanish class I took this past autumn. Honestly, all the instructor did was follow the book page by page. I should've just canned going to class and studied from the book and CD. This course focuses on learning your numbers, easy phrases, how to break down the family tree, etc. If you've never tried Spanish before this is most definitely for beginners...very basic Spanish and not for those who already have a basic understanding of the language. I would've given more stars, but I guess you get what you pay for.
