3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but..., March 11, 2010

The one thing that drove me nuts about this book is the lack of transcripts on the conversations on the cd. The book is good and the vocab and the questions are excellent, but the fact that I couldn't figure out what was being said on the cd drove me crazy. The cds have long, involved conversations and dialogs in spanish and a small amount of listen and repeat - which is fine IF YOU HAVE A TRANSCRIPT. I was considering sending the book back when, out of desperation, I looked for the transcripts on line and found then - complete and free.

[...]

I had to print if off on my printer. It was about 40 pages or so. I would have paid a bit more for the book to have the transcripts included. I sure berlitz would have done a better job on the printing and binding than me.

The course content is excellent. I love it. One other thing that could be improved is that I'm not sure when I'm done with a section. There is no test that lets you know you have a good grasp. That's no big deal though. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars and not 5 is because it didn't come with a transcript. If I hadn't been able to find the transcripts on line, I would have given it 1 star.

I got this hoping that it would improve my listening skills, but the difficulty level seems to be the equivalent of a spanish one high school course in the middle of the year. In other words, it is waaay too easy for anyone who knows the basic rules of spanish, and it is too difficult for a beginner because there is no introduction. The dialogues are lengthy, but use super simple vocabulary and everything is in present tense. I expected that intermediate spanish would include at least the four most basic tenses of spanish - preterite, imperfect, present and future.
