El contenido es específico. No necesitas nada más. Los cds correlacionan con las lecciones de una manera simple. Este programa ha estado en el mercado por más de 60 años y aún sigue siendo práctic. Excelente.

At nearly 62, it is hard to teach yourself another language, but this course has helped me enough to be able to at least communicate on the most basic level . It takes much longer to get things to stick in my head at my age, but you can repeat the CD's as much as is needed and hear how the words are pronounced. It's very helpful!

This is a good system for learning Spanish I think. I listen to the lessons and pause them and use the workbook. I go back and review things if I go away from it for too long but overall I think it's a great way to get back to Spanish I took in high school.

3.0 out of 5 stars VERY BASIC for BEGINNERS!
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2013

You really must use the book and do the lessons from the book as the CD can be confusing. I had to constantly rewind the CD to get the lessons "sink in". I used this as a companion to the Spanish class I took this past autumn. Honestly, all the instructor did was follow the book page by page. I should've just canned going to class and studied from the book and CD. This course focuses on learning your numbers, easy phrases, how to break down the family tree, etc. If you've never tried Spanish before this is most definitely for beginners...very basic Spanish and not for those who already have a basic understanding of the language. I would've given more stars, but I guess you get what you pay for.
