5.0 out of 5 stars Get the CD edition!, February 20, 2005

By	heartburn - See all my reviews

I've been subscribing to this magazine for more than a year. It's really helped me with my reading. The issues are small and the articles are short. An article is usually from one to three pages in large type with glossaries in the margins.

Even though the articles are short, I will often concentrate on one article at a time, rereading it several times a day for a couple of days. When I can read the article straight through without consulting the glossary, and understand everything, I move on to the next.

Around April of last year (2004), the magazine began offering an optional audio CD. The CD contains each of the magazine articles read aloud. I think this is the best feature of the magazine. Now it helps me as much with my listening as it does with my reading.

Since I started getting the CD, I now listen to the article that I'm concentrating on over & over until I think I understand most of it. Only then will I read the article. I will read it until I understand it completely. Then I listen to it some more, until I'm comfortable with it.

The articles cover all sorts of topics from all around the Spanish speaking world: Geography, People, Environment, History, Culture. And there are regular features: recipes, crosswords, lessons.

If you're serious about learing Spanish and you're at a beginner-intermediate level (or maybe higher) you should try this magazine. The website (http://www.readspanish.com) has sample pages and audio online. I'm not sure if they sell samples or back issues, but they have a product called "Audio Guide to Places in Spain" that's fairly cheap. It's in a smaller format than the magazine, but it might help you decide if this sort of thing is right for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous language learning magazine!, January 29, 2006

By	Robyns Books (Miami Florida) - See all my reviews

I am a Spanish teacher and I use this magazine with my students. It is a fabulous magazine for all levels and all ages. It is hands down one of the best language learning supplements on the market. I recommend it to anyone looking to improve their Spanish. If you have a means to practice speaking the magazine only will benefit you. If you are not able to regularly speak or listen to the language you will certainly need the CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Magazine - Great Vocabulary Builder, June 12, 2006

By	Carrie "Carrie" (Eugene, OR) - See all my reviews

I got the book first and then subscribed to this magazine in March. I agree with the other reviewed - GET THE CD version. The Audio CD is great for listening without the text to help you understand the spoken language as I think thats the hardest part. This is such a great magazine for learning Spanish, building vocabulary and keeping up with the language. I highly recommend this product to all Spanish students.
