One of the best I’ve used

I’ve wanted to learn Spanish for some time. Took it multiple times in school but very little stuck. I bought this program hoping it would be helpful and surprisingly it is one of the best I’ve used thus far.

The lessons are easy but not simple. They are long enough without being too long so you don’t get overwhelmed or bored. And they stick to things that a relevant up front. If I skip a day I go back and listen to the prior lesson again on a fasted speed and see if I can keep up. If not, I repeat the lesson at the normal pattern and continue on. Sometimes I just repeat the lessons to get a better grasp.

I like that they weave in prior learning to current lessons so as to keep reminding you along the way. That along with the vocabulary seems to be doing the job. After the next few chapters, found in another audiobook in the series, I’ll see if I feel confident enough to try with my Spanish speaking friends. Mostly I find they talk soooo fast it’s hard to keep up yet. Again the reason I speed up the lessons when I repeat them.

Loved it!

It's engaging, easy to use, and a valuable tool for those looking to start speaking Spanish today. Try it!

Going well for me! Muy bien!

I listen on the drive to work, so this method is effective for me. Learning a new language is a challenge, but this format works, if you stay with it and repeat lessons as necessary. I like that it’s geared toward adult learners. The comprehensive pdf for reading is available with the first set of audio lessons (1-5), as well as the second (6-10), in its entirety. Go to your lesson library and you will see the link to open the pdf under “Launch App.” Enjoy!

Great course

Love learning via Audible and would like this to see more courses just like this one.
