Teaches Grammar Naturally

Any additional comments?

I learned more grammar from Power Spanish Verbs than I did from Pimsleur, Paul Noble, and Rosetta Stone.

I think Frobose likes grammar, but just hates the old high school way of teaching it.
He and his Spanish speakers sort of teach grammar like we all learned English as children. Naturally.

We learned to say “I am” without some dopey teacher telling us that we were learning the 1st person singular of the present indicative of the infinitive “to be”.

I wish some of these negative reviewers would “get real”.

Great Grammar Explanations

Any additional comments?

I love the way Mark explains the grammar and the Spanish speakers use the examples in their native language. I learn better this way than in high school when they just used the rules.

Great Verb program and Tapescript

I like the way this program is laid out and I'm understanding this verb thing better than ever before because it's mostly non-grammatical and easy to understand. They cover most tenses, past, present, future and more. The tapescript is a lifesaver because I can listen, listen while I read, and then just read a little after I listen to clarify. Excellent really.

Great Non-Traditional Verb Technique

Any additional comments?

For the first time in my life, I actually understand Spanish verb structure thanks to the unique non-traditional way in which they are taught by Mark Frobose and his native Spanish assistants on Power Spanish Verbs.

This program is not for the traditional conjugation based language student who wants ever more rules, rules, rules with any practical application.
Power Spanish Verbs is for people like me who want to use, use, use the real verbs in Spanish in actual daily conversation and do it correctly without having to memorize rules.
In other words, if you want to learn Spanish verbs naturally, much like you learned English verbs without grammar, then Power Spanish Verbs is definitely for you.
Excellent program that is so unique and useful that many non-intuitive types are likely to miss its value.
Those learners would do well to take a standard high school or community college class taught by any number of non-fluent Spanish language teachers. They're everywhere. A dime a dozen.

The unique verb teaching approach of Frobose on the other hand is one-of-a-kind and thus priceless in its value to the "application minded" language student/learner/aficionado.
Great price too.

No BS - Great Easy Explanations

Any additional comments?

This program is for your inner “non-grammar” geek. The grammar explanations in Power Spanish Verbs are subtle, clear, easy and intuitive.
Excellent and natural way to learn grammar, much like we learned to speak English correctly as children. Hardcore grammar geeks should look elsewhere for useless rules. This program is definitely for people who really want to speak Spanish correctly and actually use the language with correct grammar, without wasting their time on BS (pardon my French).

Greatly Simplifies a Complicated Process & Makes V

Any additional comments?

I bought and am using this program in conjunction with Power Spanish I Accelerated.
I had a year of Spanish back in school and this approach is totally different, thank God.

They don't really formally teach verbs, although I did notice the instructor shooting back and forth between traditional and non-traditional approaches for different learning styles (which I think is good).

I'm not big on grammar. As a matter of fact, I hate English grammar with a passion.
What I am loving about Power Spanish Verbs 1 is how naturally you learn as you progress through the program. It's so smooth, you hardly notice you're learning so much until you meet up with a native Spanish speaker and realized that you can actually "use" what you're learning.

Unbelievably good program at any price, and for this price, it's a no-brainer to buy this one and use it right away if you're serious about learning Spanish.

Great Audiobook

I really like listening to this in the car. I think it’s done well and easy to follow. I am a Spanish student and this allows me practice verb conjugations and refresh my memory on the basic verbs.

Loved It!

Great drills for an advanced beginner. Very practical uses. I’ve used a lot of different tools. This is a good one.

Terrible & repetitive. His other books are better.

Terrible & repetitive. He sounds like a mouth-breather, and the book takes a specia ed approach. His other books are better. Maybe this was one of his first before he figured it out better. Skip it. Less useful than YouTube.

The best Spanish app on my iPhone

Easy to follow. Useful words. I need part two of Spanish Verbs and part three.
