Spanish: Basic Course Level One
By The Platiquemos FSI Language Program

     Hola! Buenos Tardes! Have you ever wanted the chance to learn another language but haven't been able to sit and study for hours? Well, this audio collection is great for anyone who has a CD player and a brain. The lessons are set up for repetition and easy to follow. Whether you are in the car, office, or room, driving or walking the dog, these lessons are easy to understand.

    First, you make your way through the most commonly-used sentences. Then, you'll move on to the differences in the sounds of long and short vowels. You'll go through each lesson fairly quickly, but there are enough repeats and pauses so that as long as you pay attention, remembering the words is reasonably easy.

     There are 8 CDs total and a book, so you can follow along word for word. I've wanted to learn Spanish for a while, but haven't ever had time to sit. With the lessons on CD, though, I can take them anywhere and they're so easy and clear that anyone can learn the basics. I highly recommend this CD and book set for anyone who has the urge to learn such an old, romantic language.
