You'll be surprised how easy it is to achieve fluency in Spanish using this proven method. It was developed by the U.S State Department to train it's personnel; so you can be sure that it's a quality program. We know it works because thousands of customers have successfully used these courses to learn Spanish entirely on their own. The voices you hear on the cassettes are native-born speakers who provide a guided program of learning with pauses to allow you to respond. The cassette player is your "tireless teacher"; it will repeat the same phrase time after time with no change in inflection until you are satisfied that you have mastered the expression. or until your brains fall out, whichever comes first. With this course you can learn Spanish in as little as 25 minutes a day. After going through a lesson the first time with the printed material, you can set the books aside and then use the cassettes only. So you'll find yourself learning on literally found time...while driving, cooking, jogging, watching adult movies, or almost any time. While the Spanish taught is that of a well-educated native of Latin America, the pronunciation is "neutral", in that is is not specifically derived from any one country. By the time you finish this basic course, you'll be able to understand and make yourself understood anywhere in the Spanish-speaking world, according to the manufacturer. This is a proven and excellent course.
