Review

I learned to speak more Spanish in four one hour sessions of 'Speed Spanish' than I learned four years of high school Spanish. The simplicity of the course, beginning with how easy it was to make simple yet effective sentences, really speeded up the language learning process for me. On my last trip to Mexico I was able to listen to a tape and go out and use what I had learned immediately. It was a thrill to understand and be understood by Spanish speakers. -- John Stutz

Product Description

Speed and simplicity are words which describe the method used in these 4 one hour audiocassette tapes. The founder of Language Dynamics Inc. guides you through the course in English while a trained native Spanish speaker teaches you how to really speak Spanish. Since no reading is required, you can learn to speak Spanish virtually anywhere. What's more, the tapes come complete with clear explanations and English equivalents so you never have to look up meanings which saves you time and frustration.

5.0 out of 5 stars TAPES AND GUIDE ARE FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET!, October 28, 2000
By Katherine Best (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
I've had Language Dynamics' Speed Spanish for just over two weeks now and here's what I can now do. I am able for the first time to speak and understand so much practical Spanish that I find it necessary to explain my experience to you in detail. Understand that I am not a linguist. I have gone to college and I consider myself reasonably intelligent but until now, learning a language has always been a scary and not too fruitful experience for me. Speed Spanish has changed all of that for me, thank God. I bought Speed Spanish AFTER trying and returning Barron's Mastering Spanish, National Textbook's Teach Yourself Spanish, Living Language Spanish, and Great American Audio/Fast Track Spanish. None of these had the exceptional METHOD that I experienced with Language Dynamics Speed Spanish. The Speed Spanish tapes and Listening Guide & Tapescript were versatile, relevant, had a very appealing and useful content, appropriate course speed, and was very relevant to my learning needs (which was to speak Spanish as quickly as possible). Several of the other courses I listed were either horribly fast paced, used esoteric Castilian instead of the more common Latin American Spanish used in Speed Spanish, and were all just a rehash of the old 'mope and grope' stale language learning techniques your old high school teacher used to use. I found these courss to be sterile and difficult to impossible to learn from. I found Speed Spanish to be excellent and unique in the following ways. It was easy to go away from the tapes after each session speaking and understanding a great deal more Spanish than before the session. The structure and method used in the course were so simple that the learning speed dramatically increased for me. Sentence building, practical vocabulary, and even grammar were taught as natural part of the lessons so I hardly noticed as I learned it. Most importantly, I am really enjoying learning from this course. The interview teaching style found on these tapes is quite pleasant, low key, and very effective! It is therefore my recommendation to you that you try Speed Spanish if you are interested in a one stop, multi-purpose, versatile, relevant, easy, very fast, and extremely 'user friendly Spanish course. If you are a linguist, enjoy guessing, want to learn only Castilian Spanish and aren't interested in IMMEDIATE RESULTS then you might try another course and still be satisfied. It is my humble opinion that there is no Spanish course on the market that can even approach the results Speed Spanish has gotten for me in just 2 weeks.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Former US Diplomat Says 'Real Communication, Really Fast!!, October 2, 1999
By A Customer
I am a former US diplomat and current international business consultant. I can say that Language Dynamics courses are the only courses I know of that are truly dedicated to effective and immediate communication in the target language. Academic courses often reflect the literary interests of professors, many of whom never had the experience of learning the target language as a second language. With these courses, you can hit the streets after every lesson knowing you can say more than you could yesterday.

2.0 out of 5 stars No speedier than the average bear, October 13, 2000
By lynn del sol "lynn_del_sol" (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
...

However, my ambivalence towards these tapes goes deeper. I
expected something called "Speed Spanish" to be direct and
fast paced, but the first 30 minutes of this tape wander almost
aimlessly through the alphabet, days of the week, months, and tedious
side explanations. The teacher rambles on in English at times, fills
up too much space with admonitions to "stop the tape and practice
if we need to" ... and repeatedly counts up the number of
sentences we can make by putting different nouns and verbs
together. (Yes, we rather expected that...)

The second tape has an
odd section into which a long repetion of the alphabet is spliced for
no apparent reason (except, perhaps, manufacturing error). It later
launches into a review of the text (though the teacher says he expects
most people to be listening in the car) in which the English speaker
reads a WHOLE conversation, followed by the translated conversation in
Spanish, rather than going back and forth bit by bit.

Other pieces
of strangeness include sections where the English teacher says a word
twice, then the Spanish speaker says a word twice. Why would we need
to hear the English word twice?

Finally, the tapes are manufactured
so that the content runs out on the first side of each casette before
the tape ends, meaning the tapes do not autoreverse properly. You have
to either reverse the tape manually or fumble for the start of the
second side with fast forward buttons.

This is the second Spanish
tape I've tried (the other was from the library), and I'd say it is
about equal to the first....
