Review

I drive over two hours a day to and from work and wanted an easy to use course for my car. I'm pleased to say that 'Behind The Wheel Spanish For Your Car' was the perfect solution to taking advantage of all of my down time commuting to learn a to speak Spanish. It worked for me. -- David Haas

I have tried other learn in your car Spanish courses which left me guessing at meanings. 'Behind The Wheel Spanish For Your Car' worked great for me because I NEVER had to look up one single word. Every word, expression, sentence, lesson, came with an immediate English translation which I loved. I don't like being in the dark when I'm driving, especially when learning Spanish. -- Larry Moore

I really learned to speak a lot of Spanish with this course because it was so practical, clear, and easy to use. -- Kay Flannigan

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid basic Spanish for people on the go, February 19, 2004
By Robert Crowe (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had a little Spanish in college and a few visits to Spanish-speaking countries. I needed a major brush-up before a two-week trip to Latin America. This CD set was ideal. It covers a lot of ground, sometimes rather quickly,but refreshed my memory for vocabulary, verb structure, the nuances of pronouns and some idioms. The sound on the CD set is excellent and the Spanish speaker has superb diction. I've been listening to it in the car, my only free time to do that, and that works very well. Just rewind to go over something again or hit pause when traffic distracts you. Very satisfied overall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Pimsleur or Learn In Your Car, March 18, 2005
My hearty congratulations to Language Dynamics for having produced what I consider to be the industry standard in professional, high quality Spanish instruction without the hassle. Both the American instructor (sounds like a friendly college professor) and the Spanish speaker are both excellent and really teach you Spanish.
I personally prefer Behind the Wheel Spanish 8 CD with text over Pimsleur Spanish and Learn in Your Car Spanish, both of which I have tried and since returned.
Behind the Wheel Spanish is better than Pimsleur because you have multiple tracks and don't have to keep your finger on the fast forward button to get to where you want to go.
If you fast forward with Pimsleur, you miss the graduated interval recall benefit which is programmed into the course. Too rigid for me.
Learn in Your Car doesn't provide you with the sentence building techniques that makes Behind the Wheel Spanish so effective. I was actually 'communicating' with my own sentences after just a little over 35 minutes with this course. Amazing.
Behind the Wheel Spanish is by far the best Spanish course I have tried because it gives you abundant and reusable templates that you form on your own to create your own specific communication. This is far better than the competition.
Both Learn in Your Car and Pimsleur give repetitions at the same native speed. Language Dynamics gives you the first Spanish repetition a little slower so you can understand and imitate the pronunciation more effectively. They then gives you a second Spanish repetiition at native speed. Much better.
Lt's not forget that Behind the Wheel Spanish is the only one on the market that includes
rea-life idiomatic of folk expressions like 'I stuck my foot in my mouth' and 'I got up on the wrong sde of the bed'. I mean, NOBODY has this stuff but Language Dynamics.
Last and certainly not least, Behind the Wheel Spanish comes with a 200 page book with drawings and English right under the Spanish. The answers are right there too so it's a no brainer.
My results speak for themselves. This course really works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Spanish Course for the Car, April 14, 2006
I'm going to weigh in on the debate over which is better, Learn in Your car or Behind the Wheel?
For my money, Behind the Wheel is the best.
I too purchased both courses. My experiences are as follows:
1. Behind the Wheel is much more 'friendly'. It is more effective because it actually teaches you how to communicate, not just memorize phrases. You actually 'speak your mind' with Behind the Wheel.
2. I had plenty of time to repeat. To me, the response times are perfect. What's more, they always review everything so thoroughly that it is impossible to miss anything.
3. Lots of explanation, practice, vocabulary with Behind the Wheel. Great method.
In a word, I am not the Spanish review guy. I am a gringo learning Spanish. While effective to a point, Learn in Your Car lacks the memory technique, sentence building technique, great native speaker voice, explanations, and so forth that make Behind the Wheel Spanish my all-time favorite.
