Good beginner spanish

Being in New Mexico this was a great beginner for me, I hear spanish on a daily basis so I can understand more and it is easier for me to pick up, worth the amount.

A good refresher course

I took about 12 hours of Spanish in college, but haven't used it much in the last 10 years or so and wanted to refresh my memory. The idea was to review the book for a few minutes each day, and then practice pronunciation with the CDs in the car. This course has worked out quite well for that. Having said that, I offer this caveat: the CDs will not be much help if you do not study the book (the audio is all in Spanish and works on the "total immersion" theory). If you just want to learn a few conversational phrases to "get by" on vacation, there are probably easier ways to do it. If you want to read, write, and speak Spanish properly and grammatically, there are no shortcuts: any effective study method will require time and effort. If you are an absolute beginner, this course progresses rather quickly and may be hard to keep up with at first. The trick, I think, is to review often and repeat each section as many times as necessary. Be consistent, and don't get discouraged. I am currently using the same system (Living Language Complete Course) to learn Portuguese and French, both of which I am starting as a complete novice. The basic structure of the courses are the same for each language, and the first few chapters (pronunciation rules and very basic vocabulary) will give provide a good foundation for the rest of the course, if you take the time to study them carefully.Buena suerte!
