I'm only halfway through the beginner (essential) CD and am very happy with this program. From the beginning you start learning words and sentences, both formal and informal, male and female. I use it in my computer with headphones and follow along with the book. It has reviews, quizzes and seems to be a very thorough program. You also have access to free online tools such as flash cards, interactive games and quizzes for each lesson. I have also played the CD's through my stereo system. I think that for the price, you get an extraordinary amount of learning information and help and is an extraordinary value. I'm very happy I bought this program and look forward to making it through to the advanced course! I don't think you can find a better program!

The first disc was fine. Disc two left off toward the end of lesson nine. Disc three picked up at the end of lesson nine but did not finish it. Instead it skipped to the middle of lesson ten. It is impossible to learn ANY language like this.

It's a prooved qnd efficient Spanish learning method. Its three parts (essential, intermediate and advanced) books and cd's will guide you to an good fluency. It's thought-out for self learning but, as with any other serious method, a tutor will be a ery helpful. It is a unique multimedia program that takes you beginner to advanced level in one convenient package.

I wouldn't depend on it for immediately learning the basics as it throws some stuff at you and then later explains it or part of it; but, as a supplement, it is very good. It's a good starter method regardless. I use several different platforms for learning Spanish. I do like the books - those are very helpful for reading when you don't or can't use a computer.

The books are great and the essentials course is good. But the intermediate course has less of quiz style interactions, more like just reading the vocabulary lists and sentences. I wish it challenged me a bit more to think.
