I'm Learning to Converse with Spanish Speakers

Great native speakers from Mexico and Colombia. Interactive approach to Latin-American conversation.
No guessing. Instant English to Spanish. Great retrieval memory technique which greatly enhances learning retention. Very relevant vocabulary for travel, shopping, restaurants, and general purpose traveling or communicating. It’s called ‘Conversational’ for a reason. If you want a lot of grammatical explanations consult a college textbook. The “Conversational Latin American Spanish” audio program teaches talking, not reading. That’s why it’s an audio program. Nothing can take the place of repetition and challenging you to speak with natives when learning a foreign language. This program does much of the review for you. It drills you on previous material at the same time that it is presenting you with new words and phrases. So older material stays fresh in your mind. That is what causes it all to sink in. The more you listen to these lessons the more conversationally comfortable you will become. You're taught how to have real conversations about real things with real Spanish speakers.

Very helpful for learning to converse with ease

Very helpful to for learning to converse with ease

I bought this audio program called Conversational Latin American Spanish 1. It is much better than a cd program I bought from another company years ago. It is not dry and boring like the first one tended to be. The speakers used on the program are easy to understand and copy when you are repeating what they are saying. That is the greatest thing about it for me. I appreciate the consideration that the developer of this program gives to the learner in explaining the details of Spanish and having the native Spanish speakers repeat at different speeds. The native Spanish speakers say things slowly and then at normal speed. That is such a great help in learning to speak correctly. You can’t learn to say things right if you can’t understand what is being said. You CAN understand with these speakers on this program. They teach a lot of words and phrases about a lot of different topics. The direct conversation practice really helps in learning to speak comfortably. It is all very useful if you go to any country where Spanish is spoken. As you learn the material you are also learning how to use it. That makes it fun to learn and makes you want to keep learning more.

Best Converational Spanish Program

Any additional comments?

The best Spanish conversation program that I have tried so far. What makes this program so great is the time the creators spent in actually delving deeply into the accents, the expressions, the vocabulary and yes … the actual structure of a normal Latin American Spanish conversation. This is exceptional, believe me.What most programs do is throw you into a wild and untranslated chatter that is totally incomprehensible. Frobose’s Conversational Latin American Spanish breaks it all down, even slows it down, dissects the conversation pieces, lets you hear it, repeat it, then helps you to memorize it and then requires that you actually use it (what a concept) with the native speakers. Love it. Don’t hesitate to buy these programs if you really want to learn Spanish and still “enjoy the process” as one of the speakers says.

So-so

This is somewhat helpful but has a few flaws. With some phrases they take you through word by word. With others they zip through long phrases at once so it is nearly impossible to catch. Also they frequently do not allow enough time for you to repeat before they begin the next phrase. It is better than nothing but I would not call it a great learning experience.

Challenging and Spontaneous Spanish Speaking Becom

Where does Conversational Latin American Spanish - 8 One Hour Audio Lessons (English and Spanish Edition) rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

10 out of 10 for me. Easy to learn and get along with the Latin American speakers and the narrator, who does not go too fast, not too slow. You can easily converse with them in Spanish. Listen, learn, repeat, and review all in one. It’s just like you are directly conversing with the speakers sitting in front of you. It is a great program, the best I have ever used. The narration in this program is excellent!

Any additional comments?

I will recommend this conversational Latin American Spanish program to everyone who wants to converse in Spanish, may be for a trip to a Spanish city or for shopping, restaurant, etc. It is the best program I have ever tried as you get to learn the real Spanish. The speakers also explain the meaning of it in English, which is very good. No guess work required and you learn with such an ease. Highly recommended!

Before trying this awesome program, I tried various course books and audio programs but none was of any help to me. Then I tried this conversation Latin American Spanish audio book by Mark Frobose. I am compelled to say that it’s a great program, worth your money. It’s just like a live session with the Latin American Spanish speakers, with whom you conserve. They speak so slowly, again and again repeat it, and then little fast, ask did you get it, and then repeats it slow and fast. Mind retention power is used as the words are repeated again and again, thereby making your learning Spanish process so easy and spontaneous. I learned to speak a lot of vocabulary words related to shopping, restaurant, conversing with a Spanish person and when one travels to a Spanish city from this program. Real Spanish can be learned within few hours and one doesn’t even get bored of it, even by listening it again and again. Spanish learning gets so enjoyable with this program. Try it. I'm sure it will work for you like it did for me.

Buy it. The Best.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you want to know how good this course it, just go around Audible and check out the free samples of other Spanish conversation courses. They all sound so fake and contrived compared to this. That’s because they are and this Conversation Latin Amer Spanish is the best. The voices, the technique, the memory stuff, the words that they add to the conversation practice and the different speeds they use so you can go from slow to fast little by little leaves all the other programs I have tried in this category in the dust. Nobody has a better program for beginning and intermediate Spanish conversation that this one. Just buy it see.

ok, but what one book gives you is limited.

There seems to be pieces missing. eg chapter three starts with "retrieve from memory" of phrases that were not on chapter 1 and 2. Also, the various speakers pronounce words differently which is OK but should be discussed.

on the positive side there is a really funny side comment every now and then.

easy to learn

it is the best way to learn Spanish. I recommend to all. you don't need to read anything, just listen and repeat.

Great Program - Bridges Slow to Fast Conversation

Any additional comments?

No hassle or guessing, friendly narration tone. Instant translation from English to Spanish. This program really bridged that nasty gap between slow Spanish as you learn it on audio and real Spanish spoken at native speed. I also picked up a lot of conversation-based vocabulary in context for all situations, including but not limited to shopping, eating or traveling around in a Spanish-speaking country. The awesome native speakers really helped me to speak and understand Spanish spoken at native speed. All Latin American Spanish speakers. First slow, then medium speed, then blazing fast, just like in real Spanish conversation. Great way to learn Spanish within a reasonable period of time. Really enjoyable too. For me, a bargain for my time and money.
