2.0 out of 5 stars pass this one up, April 11, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Essential Spanish for Law Enforcement: Cassette/Book Package (Living Language All-Audio) (Audio Cassette)
Save your money on this package--especially the tape. The tape has no grammar explained and simply does not teach. The phrases are only given once, and some are garbled beyond recognition to anyone but the fluent (who wouldn't need the tape anyway). Unless you have have the time and patience to rewind constantly, and never really need to understand what you're saying, this tape is useless. I suggest the Barron's "Spanish for Law Enforcement Personnel" as an excellent, methodical beginner's book and tape that you can listen to in the car and get something out of.
