Start to get the hang of speaking and understanding Spanish

After listening to the CDs over and over, I began to understand the cadences of the language. I could also repeat the phrases pretty well. Some of the chunks were too long without a break, and I just couldn't get them all at once, even after I'd listened many times. My CD player wouldn't go back a few seconds, so I couldn't listen to bits over and over the way I wanted to. I plan to transfer the CDs to MP3s so I can put them on my audio player and will be able to go back a few seconds at a time. Overall, I liked these CDs and the workbook. The course didn't seem too advanced for me, but I've had quite a bit of Spanish (six semesters college level), and can read pretty well. I just never got the hang of understanding and speaking much, so these CDs help.

Good listening practice

As mentioned in another criticism, this unit might be a bit too advanced for someone who has only had a beginners course. Of the three component language skills - reading, speaking, listening - I have found "listening" (with comprehension)to be the most challenging. This course is one of the best for practicing listening at conversational speed. At first I had some difficulty comprehending the CD dialogs while driving the car. However, I found that using the detailed transcriptions in the textbook helped with understanding, and repeated listenings did the trick. A wide range of useful vocabulary is covered.
