Got more than I expected

Any additional comments?

Used Power Spanish 1 and got a lot out of the program. I bought Power Spanish 2 looking for more of the same and got more than I expected. Really like the native expressions and have tried them out on several trips to Latin America with great success. Also liked the different tenses and the way they're presented with the memory technique coming back at you.

Power Spanish 2 Accelerated – Really Helps You Become Fluent in Spanish.
Power Spanish 2 packs a LOT of material into its eight hours of lessons. If you have a basic knowledge of the Spanish language then Power Spanish 2 Accelerated will power your Spanish to a higher level. This program is not for the fluent in Spanish. The whole reason for the program is to help you to BECOME fluent in the Spanish language. I really think I got more than my money’s worth. Power Spanish 2 Accelerated is not just a re-hash of Power Spanish 1 Accelerated with a few new words and phrased thrown in. There is all kinds of vocabulary words covering all kinds of topics, like eating and drinking and having parties, and buying tickets to go to places and finding your way around places.
I really learned with the variety of instruction. Sometimes you remember and recall, then you directly participate with native Spanish speakers. Often you listen and repeat and at other times you just listen. You get some simple grammar instructions in some of the sections of the program. They are very short and deal with the lesson being given at that moment.
The lessons are somewhat structured but still spontaneous and the overall presentation is relaxed and informal. The narration has a very personal feel to it. It is not like some language learning recordings where the narration is done by deep-voiced, monotone, stiff and formal radio type of narrators. Mark Frobose, the developer of the program, serves as the narrator/teacher throughout all of it with different educated Spanish speakers. Like I said, it has a very personal feel to it. Mark and the speaker even laugh occasionally as they are explaining funny things. It really does sound like it is a private lesson between you and the native speakers and the narrator.
But it does move pretty quick. This program is excellent for someone who really wants to learn to speak Spanish fast.

Perfect for brushing up on your Spanish!

I have a long commute for work and use the morning commute time to brush up on my Spanish! Thanks!

excellent way to learn

Very effective repetition way that makes you easily remember the lessons. thank you. makes you want to learn even more spanish.

I Really Love This Program

What did you love best about Power Spanish 2 Accelerated?

Being of Hispanic origin, I wanted to learn and master the language of my parents' homeland.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Power Spanish 2 Accelerated?

Power Spanish 2 really taught me to speak and understand a lot of "real" down-to-earth Spanish that the native Spanish speakers use.

What about Mark Frobose’s performance did you like?

I especially loved all the expressions, just like the ones my family uses all the time that I never completely understood. When you say these to a native Spanish speaker, they're like .....

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Caramba .... this girl really knows Spanish.
Also, all the vocabulary, teaching you how to put together sentences in the past, present, future.

Any additional comments?

Great program that is really teaching me a lot of intermediate Spanish. I use it every day to practice and I love it.

Better Than Expected – Great Tapescript

What made the experience of listening to Power Spanish 2 Accelerated/Complete Written Listening Guide/8 One-Hour Audio Lessons the most enjoyable?

I loved Power Spanish 1 and moved on to Power Spanish 2. I was not disappointed. In fact, Power Spanish 2 was even better than I expected. More advanced than Power Spanish 1, and the same great technique. The tape script really helps too. Must buy.

Mark Frobose does a great job of teaching Spanish

If you could sum up Power Spanish 2 Accelerated/Complete Written Listening Guide/8 One-Hour Audio Lessons in three words, what would they be?

Very effective, recommended.

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

At first I did not like Power Spanish 1 because it seemed to take too long to get past the introduction to the actual content, but after giving it more of a chance I'd have to say that it is very good also.

Any additional comments?

Mark Frobos has an excellent line of language instruction audio books. If you use them and stick with it you long-term you will learn to speak well. Learning a foreign language takes time no matter how you do it so be patient and keep listening and practicing.

Extremely Well Conceived - Best on the Market

Would you listen to Power Spanish 2 Accelerated again? Why?

Yes, I would definitely listen to Power Spanish 2 Accelerated again. Power Spanish taught me how to communicate quickly and effectively in Spanish using my own original thoughts and did so without boredom or tedium. Mark Frobose doesn't follow the herd with mindless and old language programs like Pimsleur and Spanish Like Crasy. Mark's Language Audiobooks approach makes it easy and fun to really learn to speak and understand a new language. It is obvious that this method makes all others pale in comparison. From basic review to advanced idiomatic expressions taught in a situational format, Power Spanish 2 (just like the original Power Spanish 1) exceeded all of my expectations.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Power Spanish 2 Accelerated?

Teaching me how to really speak Spanish.

Which character – as performed by Mark Frobose – was your favorite?

I love the caring way he relates to the listeners while he teaches Spanish.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, Mark managed to create the most effective language-learning program where one section built on the one before it. He also succeeded to make it easy for the listener to go back to the start of a lesson to repeat.

Any additional comments?

Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone and Coffeebreak Espanol could learn a great deal from Language Audiobooks and Mark's excellent voice and educated Spanish speakers. Mark's spontaneous and expert delivery and of original sentence making templates, memory techniques and humor make the language learning process a real joy.

Not as good as I expected after the first one

Would you try another book from Mark Frobose and/or Mark Frobose?

Yes, I really do like Mark Frobose and his lessons - don't get me wrong.. Power Spanish Accelerated I was EXCELLENT but this one was a let down.. Maybe his other books will be better.. I have only listened to these 2.

Any additional comments?

Basically I found Power Spanish Accelerated I to be excellent and I learned so much so quickly that I went for this second one.. Although it was not a waste of time to listen to, I wasn't nearly as impressed as I was with the first one. What I found was that there was a TON of review from the first book of the series and I'm not sure why.. If you have an audiobook you can go back and listen/review whatever you want to. You don't have to include so much review in the next level of the audiobook.. Whoever is looking to get the more advanced lesson has probably already mastered the material in the beginners book.. So probably about 2 out of the 8 hours of this audiobook was reviewing things that were already covered in the first book(as someone pointed out, numbers 1-10 were covered in this 'advanced' lesson).And there WAS a lot of intermediate-advanced spanish in this lesson, so I'm not saying that it was too simple.. The problem was there was not nearly enough explanation, slow repetition, and breaking down of the new material.. They could have given us a THOROUGH understanding of the new material, but rather chose to breeze right through it and then get back to basic reviews of things we already should know. So basically I felt like it went back and forth from painfully simple, to really difficult without much explanation.. I felt like with the first power spanish I could listen to an entire chapter through and get plenty of repetition/understanding but with this one I found my self either wanting to fast-forward to something I don't already know - or having to stop and rewind a bunch of times to learn what was being taught.Another thing that I was not pleased with is a great deal of this book is learning idioms and phrases like "it cost an arm and a leg" and "the early bird gets the worm" and "the apple doesnt fall far from the tree" - things like that.. I thought that was a waste of time and it did take a lot of practice and pausing/rewinding to break down and understand these phrases.. Again there wasn't much learning there, it was more like "this means this.. so listen to it until you memorize it".. I mean it's good to know them, but I feel like it's something I would learn more easily after I have a more solid base in the spanish language and can actually understand the sentence literally before learning their alternate meaning.. All my opinion of course.. I loved Power Spanish I by Frobose but was not too impressed with this one.

excellent source for learning Spanish

I've listened a few times through and feel more confident in what I can say in Spanish
