Excellent Spanish Tutorial!!!!

As Paul Noble himself once suffered, so I too have suffered through Spanish lessons before, all to no avail. I found this Spanish course to be vastly different, however, and a great way to break out of the conjugated-verbs-and-memorized-vocabulary Spanish of my past. Paul does a great job of making the lessons more conversational and intuitive, making them easier to remember. I'm usually a very visual learner, but I found this all-audio version to be a great way to beef up my listening and speaking skills. I will note, however, that for anyone looking to really learn Spanish (and not just use it on vacation or conversationally), you will need some kind of text companion to help with things like grammar rules, spelling, and other not-so-fun items. That being said, this is a fantastic audiobook for anyone looking to break out of their beginner Spanish lessons!

Makes it extremely easy to learn.

Makes it extremely easy to learn. One can actually learn the entire language with this methodology. But this book is too short.

Finally, someone has figured it out.

Would you consider the audio edition of Collins Spanish with Paul Noble - Learn Spanish the Natural Way, Part 1 to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version, but by its nature, the audio version is necessary. I believe any print media is part of the CD set if it were to be purchased separately. I'm a visual learner but the way this course is laid out, there is no disadvantage that there aren't visual materials. I'm seriously impressed. I've taken a couple of years of Spanish in college, gone to in-country schools for one and two weeks, tried different programs on CD, etc, and have now just discovered this after having been in Chile for 7 weeks. I'm learning and understanding things that have eluded me, and this is only the first day. This is simple, logical, and effective. It's a good program.

Finally making some progress!

Amazing. Stayed up all night because of this CD.

If you could sum up Collins Spanish with Paul Noble - Learn Spanish the Natural Way, Part 1 in three words, what would they be?

The instructions were simple and he really knows how your brain works. When I would make a mistake he would be spot on telling me why I made that mistake and, wouldn't you know, I would stop making the mistake.
