Reseñas de la Crítica

"I have tried numerous other language programs...the Learn in Your Car series [is] the most concise and helpful." (Linda Clark-Borre, Northbrook, IL)

Useful and Effective

This is a useful and effective way to learn introductory vocabulary and pronunciation. I found this very helpful and would recomend it to someone who is serious about trying to learn Spanish. You will need to use Levels 2 and 3 to have a practical knowledge of Spanish. Level 1 standing alone is not enough.

Only One Track

I was very disappointed that this otherwise wonderful lesson was only one track. On the CD you can skip around and replay a lesson, but on this audio it is not possible to review before going through the entire, very lengthy lesson.

Could be better...

If you're going to travel in a Spanish speaking area this audiobook could be somewhat helpful. If you are looking to become a conversationalist this is not the one to use to learn Spanish. I often have a hard time hearing the proper pronunciation and really have to listen hard.

Useful audio book for listening and speaking

As its concept, this audio is useful in the car or outside situation.
This method is not logical (No explain about grammer) but little by little you can learn by feeling.
And I reccomend you to get textbook. If you try to dictate without reference the textbook and check each sentence and spelling with textbook, this audio is the most effective.

Found it useful

My wife and I went to Costa Rica last year and so I listened to all three of the Penton Spanish series. I had three years of high-school French (many years ago), and that was enough to help me follow the Spanish. After going through the program several times, I felt confident enough to go off on my own. Admittedly my Spanish was minimal, but enough to negotiate purchases, ask simple directions, etc. All was with difficulty (happily the Costa Ricans seem to be a patient people), but having started from no Spanish at all, I was pleased.

The Penton programs I have listened to don't offer any helpful explanations of the language in the audio, but they do have some helpful notes in the booklets you can order. So they are best used by those who have a background in a similar language, or perhaps have had some training in the language and are looking to brush up their skills for a trip.
