Critic Reviews

Excellent spanish language course

Where does Castilian Spanish Phase 1, Unit 16-20 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Could not get into Rosetta Stone, but LOVE Pimsleur for both Spanish and German. My son is using it in prep to move to Spain and it is very, very helpful for him and I love the accompanying vocabulary word sheets that can be printed out so you also know how the words are spelled, not just how they are spoken. Highly recommend this. Very portable for listening to in the car or walking the dog since it is on Audible.

Have you listened to any of Pimsleur’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The repetition and the fact that you can listen to harder lessons over and over again helps you to master them.

loved learning Spanish and better on audio
