Product Description

Review
"I am a big fan of this series. Commercial packaging, simple concept and a competitive price make these well worth trying....One to watch." (The Bookseller )

'Ideal for the absolute beginner.'

(Outdoor Pursuits magazine )

Product Description
This stand-alone, all-audio course can be used by those who have little or no knowledge of the language, by those who want to learn or brush up basic conversation skills, and by more advanced learners who require extra audio material to complement their current courses. Spanish and South American voices are used on the recording, and indications are given of where Spanish and South American usage diverge, so this course can be used by by travellers both to Spain and to Latin America.



The ten units or 'conversations' cover the situations you are most likely to find yourself in while on holiday or on business abroad. They are divided into two parts, with a dialogue in each part. The dialogue in Part 2 reuses the vocabulary and phrases from Part 1 in a slightly different context. Both parts start with an introduction to the words and phrases you'll need, followed by the dialogue. Finally it's 'Over to you': you take part in the same dialogues following the English prompts, playing all the roles in turn. So you get lots of opportunity to practise! Frequent track markers divide the CDs up into short, easy-to-use clips.



Vocabulary and phrases in the first two CDs are kept to the basics and are introduced gradually with lots of opportunity to repeat and practise, to improve your confidence in both speaking and understanding. The third CD concentrates on helping you improve your understanding, so that you will be able to hold two-way conversations with people who speak very fast or use words and phrases you do not know.



The course comes on three 75-minute CDs and has an accompanying 48-page booklet which gives the dialogues and the translations of the dialogues, for those who like to see the written word or want additional practice. The booklet also provides a basic glossary of the words and phrases used.



This is the perfect complement to 'Teach Yourself Spanish', 'Teach Yourself Latin American Spanish' and 'Teach Yourself Beginner's Spanish'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reasonably good for a holiday, not for more general interest users, 30 Sep 2007
By M. McManus - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This claims to teach the user "conversational" Spanish, and thus the reader can be forgiven for thinking that at the end of the course, we could indulge in any conversation with a Spanish speaker. In reality, the course is little more than an audio phrase book, clearly aimed at the needs of a traveller on a short holiday (e.g. exercises about how to complain about your hotel room) and not the more general interest Spanish language student. This may be more of an issue to some users than others, but to me it was a bit disappointing.

The format is to have an English narrator guide us through the course. We listen to a short dialogue between two Spanish speakers, and then we take it in turns to be each person in the dialogue, with a brief pause in between "our part". I found this reasonably useful, and liked being able to play both parts, unlike most language courses where you only play one. The third and final CD is the strongest part of the course, and uses very realistic clips. In one exercise, a train station announcement in Spanish even has the "echo" like quality of a public address system, adding to the realism. The first two CDs are rather more tame.

All in all, this is a very useful course for holiday makers who don't want to have to reach for a phrase book everytime they want to buy something. However, it is aimed at holiday makers, not general interest students, and you should decide which you are before you buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good , but some silly points, 31 Aug 2007
By C. James "fffcj" (Belfast, N.Ireland United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A good collection of three CDs and booklet .
Most of the recordings are very clear except for about a third of them where the authors have stupidly placed 'atmospheric' sounds in the background . While these sounds add absolutely nothing to the 'authenticity' of these staged conversations , they do have the effect of making it just a little bit harder for the beginner to discern words among the 'foreign' spoken sounds .
For irony , the spoken English instructions are in received pronunciation , and paced slow enough for a mental retard to follow .
Yet , overall , not a bad effort compared with most of the lousey language recordings out there ...
