This review is from: Language Lab Spanish [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I have to say that I am really impressed with this item. I am taking an online Spanish course and wanted something else to help me learn. The Lab comes in a case with a work book, audio CDs (which I can use in the car), a CD Rom for the PC and a translation guide. I copied the CD to my PC and was listening to it last night - the narrator speaks clearly and allows time for you to repeat the letter and/or word she just said. The drawings in the work book are kind of dated but they are funny. For the money, I recommend this product.
