Great for beginners

I found this expecting maybe only specific terms and phrases in Spanish for banking. I didn't realize it was also providing basic Spanish for those who are still learning in general. I am very fluent so the more basic material wasn't what I needed.

Moderately Useful

As someone who works in the banking industry, I was satisfied with the first chapter. There is a solid hour of useful phrases and terminology that would have helped me a great deal when I was first trying to find transaction-related Spanish phrases on the web. The pronunciation is clear and slow enough to understand, although it would have been nice to have longer pauses to repeat some of the more complicated phrases. The banking level I would consider intermediate compared to most “beginner” tutorials. It teaches full sentences and addresses practical situations.

The second chapter is mediocre. It covers just about everything I learned in one quarter of High School Spanish — which is the equivalent of one chapter of a college textbook; weather, numbers, greetings, colors, etc. It’s set up with lazy sentences, like saying “Where is…” or “I need….” or “That is…” to demonstrate each word. Most YouTube lessons cover this. Many phrases in the banking chapter were repeated as well, as if they were scrambling to fill in time without trying too hard.

I find the program valuable for the banking terminology and I think it was worth trying out. The first chapter makes a long commute a learning opportunity. I would have liked the program better if they made the second chapter more useful for banking conversation and small talk. Three stars for moderate effort.
