Product Description
You're ready to begin mastering the Spanish language. From choosing your own personal trainer to creating a unique avatar you'll enjoy this completely personalized learning software. Spanish will feel natural, comfortable, and easy. Like one customer said, "I didn't even realize I was learning."
In the Level 1 software, you'll find 13 themed sections containing interactive lessons on sentence building, vocabulary, pronunciation, both verbal and written quizzes and don't forget the addicting review games that keep you motivated! Medals of Honor and travel dollars are earned to help track your progress and keep you energized. With enough saved, enjoy your own virtual vacation. You'll hear stories, receive travel tips, get authentic recipes, and more.
Your Level I Visual Link Spanish course software includes
- 524 lessons, games, activities and speech recognition exercises
- audio CDs for learning on-the-go
- and a pocket-size conversation manual so you'll never be at a loss of what to say.
- MP3 DVD
Approximately 65% of the population learns visually, 30% by sound, and 5% through physical interaction. By combining all three, Visual Link helps you master the language at a faster pace. You'll become fluent using images, audio lessons, speech recognition, typing, playing memory games and referencing a pocket-size manual on-the-go.
So how does it work? Each Spanish word is linked to a moving image. Words linked to moving images dramatically increase the brain's ability to recall new vocabulary.
Learning by groups you'll be able to create hundreds of combinations of sentences per section. Because you are learning contextually - both in sentence and conversational themed lessons - you'll quickly and accurately retain words. After a few lessons you'll be able to create sentences that are 12-14 words long.
Just like building a bridge, each piece fits together to help you succeed and learn Spanish, for good! Start learning today!

I have just bought the entire course from Visual Link Spanish after having downloaded the level one sample course.
To anyone thinking about buying this course.................don't hesitate. I am a language teacher myself, and I can honestly say that this is a well thought out, constructed course with fantastic visuals and stimuli.
As this is a review, I feel it only fair to issue one warning however.................it is Addictive. Every spare moment I have is spent at the computer absorbing more and more.
Congratulations Visual Link on producing the best Spanish course ever, in my opinion.

Although I have tried a few other methods, and still use some of them for a bit a variety from time to time, I keep coming back to Visual Link Spanish Level 1. The reason is simple....it is the only computer or on-line based course I have found so far that builds the learning and understanding of the language in a logical, block-wise phrase and sentence construction manner. It is high quality and easy to use and follow. I, for one, am not convinced that adults can learn a second language the way we learned our native language. That would be nice, but barring an immersion into a Spanish-only speaking situation, I just don't see it happening. However, as the name implies, there are constant visual links in this course as well as repetition, quizzes, and games which force you to listen to and respond to phrases, sentences, and questions spoken by native Spanish speakers. This is the only course I have seen, and I have looked at or tried many, that teach you how Spanish phrases are constructed. Once you get the gist of this, then it is only a matter of learning new vocabulary to add to your ability to speak in all situations. For me, learning vocabulary is the relatively easy part of a new language....putting it together into phrases is the tricky part. This course approaches this in a logical "group words" fashion where you have group 1, group 2, and group 3 words that build a sentence or phrase. Along with this, you learn common modifying words and before long you can say almost anything about any common situation. After this you need only to substitute or add new vocabulary words into the "group words" as you learn more vocabulary.

Visual Link I is the ONLY Spanish learning software that I have been able to finish. EVER. And I've tried about 7 others over the last 20 years. It's interesting, practical, fun, and it doesn't bore you with grammatical explanations that never made anyone fluent. Will be finishing Level 2 in a couple weeks. And then it's on to Level III, which I've already purchased and installed on my PC. All three courses together were the best $300 (would have been a lot cheaper if I had bought them as a bundle)I ever spent.
I also bought the Spanish Comprehension Trainer. Almost 200 Spanish dialogs from Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Peru, etc. With vocabulary and transcripts included. Well, I'm "off" to Distrito Federal, Mexico to listen to Jorge buy a taco. Que le vaya bien!
