Summary: This may not work in your DVD player...
Review: I have a one year old Zenith 5 disc DVD player and it doesn't work for me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Spanish-Sesame Street Style
Review: I have taken college Spanish and tried to teach myself off and on, but have been unsuccessful. So since I was working graveyards and could view this on the DVD player on my laptop, I decided to give it a try.

Sock puppets, and insulting words that make for good jokes were the first vocabulary introduced. Loco, stupido, etc. Fast moving colors and lots of different people relaying information kept it entertaining.

By looking at the outline it didn't look like it covered much, but I would say that it covered in it's two hours what a student would be expected to learn in a week on a college campus.

I didn't know everything like I thought I might, so it will be useful to me. But the tests on the DVD don't seem to work half the time. It would show question one...then the answer and then the voice would say question two but wouldn't become visible until I hit the next button and then it would give me the answer as well. (could be a problem with my computer, but don't know)

I think it is a good purchase to stimulate former knowledge and a great introduction if you are looking to start the language.

I rated it four cause I would have liked to see more without having to buy another DVD...and I struggled with the tests working.

Thanks Standard Deviants, you are the only game in town for education on DVD's. I will be replaying this until I have it down. Good Job!

Summary: Great tape for fun learning
Review: I love the way the Standard Deviants teach. This video is a fun, step by step way of learning Spanish. I can't forget some of this stuff because of the style.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Esto es basura
Review: If you want something to teach your little nieces and nephews Spanish, then you could roll with this. But if you are a grown man or a grown woman trying to learn Spanish this will be a waste of time and money. You'd be better off getting either Spanish Deluxe or Learning Spanish Like Crazy at www.learningspanishlikecrazy.com
