Are you sick and tired of learning basic Spanish in the slow lane? Well now you can finally accelerate your learning Spanish and get in the fast lane of learning Spanish.

The only way you can become truly fluent in Spanish is by mastering Spanish pronouns and prepositions.

Definitely one of my favorites

When it comes to basic Spanish, this program is probably my favorite. Mainly because this audio program does such a great job of teaching Spanish pronouns and prepositions. Before this program was created, if you really wanted to master Spanish pronouns and prepositions, you would have had to buy Dorothy Richmond's book, "Spanish Pronouns and Prepositions" from the "Practice Makes Perfect" series. If I’m given a choice between learning a Spanish grammar topic from a book versus an engaging audio program, which one I’m going to pick, is a no-brainer.

Since the voice actors in this audio-program are all native Spanish speakers, the program does double- duty – by teaching me both Spanish vocabulary and grammar – while also teaching me proper Spanish pronunciation.

The first of these eight lessons is very basic and covers Spanish words for asking questions, such as Who? What? Where? Why? When? and Why? With the second lesson you begin conjugating verbs and learning conversational vocabulary. By the time you’ve reached the third lesson, you’re learning vocabulary for sight-seeing in a Spanish speaking country such as how to say in Spanish:

- Fountain
- Statue
- Cathedral
- Castle
- And Bridge

I also learned a lot of prepositional phrases in lesson number 3. For example, how to say in Spanish:

- to the right of
- to the left of
- in front of
- in back of

And that’s going to be really helpful for me, especially if I’m vacationing in a Spanish-speaking country and I’m having trouble locating the tourist attractions. Not only will I need to know how to ask directions - but I’ll also need to actually understand the directions when their spoken to me in Spanish.

The pace really picks up in lesson number 4, where this program teaches the names of different items of clothing in Spanish while teaching possessive adjectives, such as how to say in Spanish:

- my
- your
- his
- her
- our
- their

Another thing that I really like about this program, besides the affordable price, is the teaching method. The same guys who made Learn Beginner Spanish also created this program. And they have used the same teaching method in this program. The only thing that would have made me happier would be to include the PDF instead of having me purchase it at Amazon even if the price is only 99 cents at Amazon.
