I'm not one for writing reviews, but I was so impressed with this item I thought it right.

These CDs are well laid out and concise. The speech is clear and you are given plenty of time to pronounce each word/sentence. You are even provided with a space in between the English word and the first Chinese pronunciation, so that when you become proficient with that particular word you can say it before the Chinese prompt: effectively providing you with mini tests throughout the CD.

The choice of words and phrases came in handy when I was in China. It covered most of the essentials, and provided a good foundation to build on. The lessons progress steadily and introduce one word at a time, meaning you are never flummoxed by ... Read More:

Books : Italian: Complete Language Course Level 1, 2 & 3 (Learn in Your Car)
With a holiday to Italy coming up, preceded by several long car journeys, I bought three language CDs to listen to in the car: Earworms, Learn in Your Car Complete Language Course and BBC Quickstart and I'd rate them them in that order, Earworms being easily the best and getting 5 stars. I found all of them easy to use in the car, although in the end I felt they were better suited to short journeys rather than doing a lot in one go.

Unlike the other two, which are aimed at the holiday goer, Learn in Your Car is a complete language course, just as it says on the cover, and is good value for money. However, I can't review it thoroughly, because I never got past the first disc. It's basically a little dull, just lists of vocab. ... Read More:

6.Spanish: Level 1 (Learn in Your Car) by: Henry N Raymond, Henry N. Raymond

Books : Spanish: Level 1 (Learn in Your Car)
The recordings are made with English in one channel (right) and Spanish in the other (left). Every English word or phrase is then repeated in Spanish from the other speaker (twice, with a pause between each for you to repeat it). So either the reviewer had their balance knob turned just to the one channel, or they had a dodgy cassette machine. My CD version works fine and it seems a very effective way of learning. I would still suggest listening the first few times with the booklet in front of you (not in your car!) so that you can visualise the spelling of the words you are trying to say, but thereafter you can make valuable use of that lost time sitting in traffic jams by practicing your Spanish vocabulary and pronunciation.

Books : French: Level 2 (Learn in Your Car)
I have reached the end of the tape, while travelling to work. It is extremely good for this way of brushing up, and I had much more confidence in France that I would be understood. I especially liked the English translations, which other similar tapes don't give you. I would like to see the whole series put onto CD.

Books : Learn in Your Car: German (Complete Language Course)
Having paid £29.99 for this course on the basis of the favourable reviews on Amazon, never have I been so disappointed.

The first disc was little more than an endless stream of vocabulary, with very little chance, guidance or practice on how to structure a sentence of day-to-day use. No special method of teaching is evident, nor is ones memory helped by such a high emphasis on vocabulary.

As for the selection of vocabulary offered in the first disc, much of it is irrelevant for day to day conversation; it is as though the author decided to list everything that could be seen on an international journey, on every form of transport, from a point of departure until arriving in a German hotel.

I don't know if I'll even ... Read More:

Books : Learn in Your Car Cassette -- Italian, Level 2 [CASSETTE]
This Audio CD is great for anybody who does not know the basics and spends at least 30 minutes in the car each day. I just went to Venezia (Venice, Italy) for the weekend and I was amazed to find myself asking for things in Italian and I am only on lesson 5 (of 30). The only reason for concern is the quality of the reference book as it seems to be cheaply produced. I will definitely be trying other Audio CDs in the series for my other travels.

Books : French: Level 1 (Learn in Your Car)
I drive about an hour each day and wanted something that I could use in the car. Unlike the previous reviewer, I find the sound is absolutely fine. There is an option to have French played on one speaker and English on the other but I reckon it is best on normal stereo. I liked the CD so much, I bought the 2nd and 3rd series. These are not quite as good as the speaker hesitates before saying whether polite or familiar forms are to be used. Also, all are slightly "American" in terms of English phraseology but not too bad. It is a very good way to learn good diction and vocabulary but you really need other material, eg writing and speaking to learn properly. Overall recommended as a very good product to supplement other learning material if you can use in your car.
