Look ma, no textbooks! The Learn in Your Car series treats you like a child--in the best possible way--starting with one-word phrases ("please," "good-by"), counting exercises, and simple nouns ("bus," "train") designed to imitate a child's learning process. First you hear the words in English, then they are repeated slowly in clear, unaccented pronunciations. The method is extremely effective for those who don't know a thing, or for those who want to brush up by testing themselves when the English words are spoken. The tapes emphasize the building blocks of communicating in a foreign country rather than rote phrases that only apply on the tape and not in real-life exchanges. Level 1 painlessly covers basic verb forms, essential prepositions, near future and past tenses, as well as shopping, hotel reservations, and other travel-related situations. The series includes French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish in three levels that can be purchased individually or in boxed sets. Each level contains two 90-minute cassettes (or CDs) and an accompanying booklet (not for use behind the wheel) with helpful explanations and scripts for the lessons.

An intelligent product that works!,

This review is from: Learn in Your Car - Spanish, 2 Level Set: Audio Cassettes and Listening Guide (Learn in Your Car Series) (Audio Cassette)
If you want to learn to speak Spanish, but find it hard to sit down and study a book--for whatever reason--here's a brilliant way to use a time resource that almost all of us have: driving in our car. If you find it a waste of time to drive along listening to the radio, the Learn In Your Car series can use that time profitably, by letting you hear and repeat Spanish words and phrases, and by letting you practice out loud until you speak quite comfortably. Personally, I went through the two cassettes in Level One in about six months, and afterwards I found I could converse in Spanish! I also lost the "stage fright" that everyone tends to have when they begin trying to speak up in the new language. The extensive practice took care of that. All in all, I promise you can't lose if you get this series and give it an honest try. I'm speaking from experience! The 44-lesson first course is grouped into both general and tourist-oriented vocabulary. It also drills in sentence structure, verb forms and, of course, pronunciation and accent. The voices heard on the tape are those of native speakers who are free of regional accents, so your Spanish will be understood everywhere. Only one new word is introduced at a time, so with short lessons and the opportunity to rewind at any time, you can learn at your own pace--and you will! I am a North American who is married to a South American and I could converse with people who speak no English at all after I completed this course. Give it time and don't move to Cassette Two until you are fluent with Cassette One. You'll find this is what you've been looking for. Use radio-listening time in your car to broaden your horizons and open your mind to the second-most-used language in the United States, and our rich Hispanic heritage.

Vocabulary Heavy -- Conversation Light,
By A Customer
This review is from: Learn in Your Car - Spanish, 2 Level Set: Audio Cassettes and Listening Guide (Learn in Your Car Series) (Audio Cassette)
The cassettes focus almost entirely on learning vocabulary, and do a very good job of it.There is much less attention put on conversation. The user basically needs to figure that out for themselves. For example, you can learn how to say boat, but not water until much later. Words are learned by subject matter (i.e., transportation nouns) but not used in an actual context (i.e., at the beach) So you will learn to say boat, but not to say you would like to go sailing. Of course, this is only a first step to learn a language and taken in that context, it is an excellent one which will help build a foundation for further learning.

The best "learn to speak Spanish" tapes ever!,
This review is from: Learn in Your Car - Spanish, 2 Level Set: Audio Cassettes and Listening Guide (Learn in Your Car Series) (Audio Cassette)
Very easy to follow, clear pronunciations with backup in text. Gradual increase from words to sentences to a conversational level of speaking.
