Where does Learn in Your Car: Spanish, the Complete Language Course rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the best audible program by far.

What other book might you compare Learn in Your Car: Spanish, the Complete Language Course to and why?

Nothing.

Any additional comments?

I have no idea what people are talking about when they complain about this program. I've used Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone, Frobose and numerous others. And those are good. BUT this is by far the best. IT actually goes through grammar WITHOUT explaining everything in English. Catch on to it or simply go online to get a look at conjugation. I LOVE that that they don't spend the whole time explaining when to use SER vs ESTAR. This isn't your only resource to learn Spanish, but it's a very good one!!!
Here's what I recommend.
( BTW this audible course works much better as a study tool than just listening in the car. You want to be able to pause...think...and then respond)
1. Get a notebook and a blue pen and a red pen.
2. Listen to the English then hit PAUSE
3. In BLUE ink write down quickly your best guess at the correct translation
4. Listen to the correct Spanish translation
5. With RED ink correct your initial translation and add in RED any important notes about the sentence. BUT limit your use of English words and translation..if you know "puerta"is door...no need to write "door".
6. Start each new chapter on a new page. This will make studying the areas you need more work (the pages with more RED) easier to find.
7. Periodically go through your notebook, reviewing any sentence that has RED ink in it.
This technique helps with LISTENING, SPEAKING, WRITING and READING. Just try it!!! FWIW I have a lot of red "para"and "por"in my notebook. Obviously I need to study those more. For that I'll go to the web or other book.

Very good!

This book helped me to kickstart my spanish. Very good content. My son on 18 also used it for preparing examen.

Not overly impressed with "learn while driving"

You learn a bunch of words in the first chapter and must remember them all before moving on the stories.
The stories are make you feel like and idiot because words are spoken too fast and you didn't remember 20% of the words.
Like all of these language learning courses you need to sit in a room by yourself and put in the boring hard work.

best Spanish video ever!

for me, this has been the best learning tool I've ever used. It requires an intermediate level of pronunciation and vocabulary which is where I am. this may not be for everybody but this is absolutely the best money I've ever spent on a Spanish learning course book audio or video

I flunked out of Spanish class back in '74

And man am I ever paying for it now days.

The ability to use this audio in a -stop and go-format on my phone has been a boon to my ability to commit the language to memory.

One thing to keep in mind, just like the US.....the dialect of Spanish speaking countries is going to have different slang and ways of saying/speaking what is local to their area..even in the US.

This course has helped me work my--Spanglish-- skills a little better to get my point across and understand native Spanish speakers better when their English is broken.

It is a good way to find a half way point in each language when trying to sort thru directions, questions at market places and restaurants down around Miami and over around El Paso....the two places I really find myself needing to be able to at least sort of non-mangle my way thru the language.

I have been able to teach myself certain phrases that aren't mangled....such as asking if the other person speaks English, and understanding common phrases in Spanish.

The PDF that is included is a huge help also in being able to read Spanish not just speak it.

It's a life time book, not a fast read. Don't expect to pick it up and be speaking fluent Spanish 48 hours later.

You need to invest the time but it isn't that hard to do when I listen to is as I go thru my daily rote chores...it is a process like all learning.

And now .....
I get a huge kick out of saying(and writing):

Puedes enseñarle a un perro viejo trucos nuevos!!

Great resource for learning Spanish on the go!

This audio book is great for learning Spanish while in the car or anywhere when you can just listen to learn without needing to watch a video or read a lesson. If you need to read along with it for more visuals or explanation, then there is a free accompanying PDF guide. But I think the audio is perfect for someone who already has a good grasp on the Spanish alphabet/pronunciation but looking for more practice on grammar and sentence structure.

love it

very clear native speakers. Good progression from easy to difficult. worth the buy for sure.

Super solid challenging program

I used to have this set on cassettes way back. Now going through it again years later. With Audible feature to slow down at .7 or .8 and ease of pause button and reqinding I feel much stronger to succeed through this program. Program goes straight to the point with vocab and phrases in all types of life and grammatic situations. Will give you a strong base across the board to launch other challenges

meh

its pretty good to become familiar with sentence structure as well as the sounds of the language but its a bit random with some of the content. Some of the phrases I will never say in English let alone Spanish.

It took me 8 years … :D

I spent 8 years trying to get through every lesson with few to no mistakes during my commute. Ive been through all of the content 3x. I’m not fluent but I learned so much! Make sure to download the accompanying PDF.
