1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, July 21, 2008

This review is from: Instant Immersion Spanish v2.0 (Audio CD)

I am very disappointed with this language program. This CD gives you very little chance to practice phrases and vocabulary (as opposed to most language programs that have you listen and repeat over and over). Plus, the exact pronunciations are difficult to hear making it impossible to develop any confidence in your speaking abilities. With so many language programs available, I would never recommend this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners, May 6, 2008

This review is from: Instant Immersion Spanish v2.0 (Audio CD)

This audio immerses you too fast. Each CD adds words and conjugations in no particular order. It's very confusing to someone who has no background in Spanish. The words are very hard to understand without seeing the spellings. I can't even understand the words I do know in Spanish. S and F sound too much the same. They should only do this if they include video. Sound is not enough for a beginner.
