Format:Audio CD|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
'Collins Easy Learning Spanish' is a short Spanish course presented in a sturdy plastic case (think large DVD style), spread over three discs. It is very much an audio course and the booklet provided only shows the dialogue for each track. This course is very much in the listen and repeat vein and each unit introduces new words and phrases and then uses them in a variety of situations for you to practise along with. The course uses both male and female voices and doesn't have excessive cheesy music that i've experienced on other language courses. The 'beep' to signify it's your turn to talk grates after a while, but not excessively so. This is perfect to listen to in the car, washing up, on your MP3 or anywhere when you have a spare ten minutes. It won't make you fluent or help you understand grammar or reading/writing, but it well help you get by on holiday and business trips. A solid three stars, well worth a try.

(What's this?)
This course teaches a number of useful phrases for different situations, as such it is similar to the BBC "Get By" series. Unfortunately the accompanying booklet is too large for a phrase book to slip in your pocket and only has written what is spoken on the CDs. If this was smaller and structured for different situations with useful phrases then this would be a good product.
To learn a language you need to learn the grammar and this course makes no attempt at that; I've found that the best way to do that is with an evening class. You won't learn Spanish with this course but you will learn enough phrases to be able to get by on holiday.

(What's this?)
I wanted to learn Spanish but have neither the time nor money to attend a regular course - I've downloaded these CDs onto my MP3 player and am very impressed by them. The course is broken into easy-to-digest units, and you are encouraged to learn a little, then take a break.
The recordings are clear, and authentic. I felt the "teachers" were friendly and their crisp yet relaxed approach means you are interested in what you're listening to, and you don't feel lectured.
It's early days but I feel my confidence with Spanish improving and I would recommend this course - and others by Collins - to anyone.

Collins Easy Learn Spanish Stage 1
This language course is okay, but very limited. It seems to be more holiday spanish, than conversational spanish, which is fine, but I was after something a little more complete. Read more

ok
Not bad cd's but the sentences are a bit long for you to remember & repeat so I ended up not bothering. The accompanying booklet is quite useful though.

easy to learn
This is very clear and easy to understand. It repeats several times giving you time to say the word and its meaning, both myself and children find it lots of fun in the car.
