61.Pasos 2: Complete Pack: An Intermediate Spanish Course: Complete Pack by: Martyn Ellis, Rosa Martín

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Books : Pasos 2: Complete Pack: An Intermediate Spanish Course: Complete Pack
Beware: This is the book only!
The book and course is good, but a lot of exercises need to be done with the cd's. And the support book has all transcripts of the listening exercises and answers.
It's just not complete if you only have the book...

63.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 : Spanish: Levels 1, 2 & 3 (Learn in Your Car)
I have been listening to these CDs in my car, and it has made a massive difference to me. I spoke no Spanish originally, just English. Now, I can say lots of things and understand it to. I do not think the Spanish bit is spoken really fast, it is at a perfectly acceptable speed. I listen to one lesson for about a week everyday in my car and say the Spanish bit out aloud. After a while you say it before they do and you are on your way to speaking Spanish. I got on quite well in Mexico after only the first couple of CDs. Ecuador in April, lets see how I do!

I really have to force myself to put this CD on in the car. A fun way to learn it certainly isn't. Basically a woman with an American accent says a phrase in English then a Spanish man repeats it in Spanish twice. That's it, over and over. The word "dry" doesn't even come close.

67.Michel Thomas Foundation Review Course: Spanish (Michel Thomas Series) by: Michel Thomas

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Books : Michel Thomas Foundation Review Course: Spanish (Michel Thomas Series)
There is no new material here, and there is no teaching either. This is basically an exam which tests you to see if you have learned the content of the 8 hour Spanish course (sold separately). What you hear is Michel speaking words or sentences in English, a short pause, and then he speaks it to you again in Spanish. Everything is lifted directly from the 8 hour Spanish course and edited onto 2 CDs; no new recording was done for this. Some of the editing is a bit abrupt, but perfectly fine. If you have not done the 8 hour Spanish course, this may not be of much use to you. This will be useful however, for those who have completed the Spanish course and wish to quickly review the material.

Books : Spanish (Teach Yourself Languages) Accompanies Book
I have bought two other language books in the 'teach yourself' line and this is BY FAR the worst.

I have been learning frantically for the last 10 weeks (i got offered a job in spain) using a variety of books, tapes, one-on-one tutorage and this book/cd set. Compared to all the other things I have tried this book is horribly structured. You are introduced to things without a clear understanding of it, the recordings aren't great as the speakers often don't pronounce the lines exactly as they are written in the book and, for me at least, they speak to fast for a beginner.

Maybe it would work for you if have experience already, but for someone with no spanish skills at all (like myself) I would seriously avoid this like the plague. ... Read More:

69.Beginner's Spanish Book/CD Pack (Teach Yourself Languages) by: Mark Stacey, Angela Gonzalez Hevia

Books : Beginner's Spanish Book/CD Pack (Teach Yourself Languages)
This product is fine. It has 21 chapters in the book (all with different themes) and an accompanying CD which is clear, well presented and well structured.

Don't bother getting the book or CD on their own. They go hand-in-hand, so splash out the few extra quid and do it properly.

I hammered out listening to this while driving in the car to work over a period of 3 weeks or so (about 50 minutes per day each time) and it made a big difference to my understanding of Beginners Spanish.

Note that this isn't quite a 'hand-holding' product. It does go quite fast in certain places, so you'll need to get used to the idea of hearing something over and over again.

I'm trying out other products now (as beginners should ... Read More:
