Summary: Musical Method of Learning Spanish: Rapanese Spanish
Review: This audio cassette is fun and useful! For those of us who hope to actually learn to speak Spanish coherently someday, a tape like this really helps to "tune up" the ear to proper understanding and pronunciation. Repetition is the key to learning a language, and the Rapanese method makes it entertaining as well as instructive.

Summary: Lively Learning
Review: This tape gives you a "good taste" of Spanish. You won't really learn the language by only listening to the first tape in the series, but it is fun listening, and very helpful with pronounciation. Rapanese is certainly a good supplement to more comprehensive instruction.

Summary: A time saver
Review: When students are away for several days, I simply drop my tape in a box at the central office, and when the student comes back he/she receives an oral test. It's the best time saver that I have. Also, in my school here in Kelowna, Canada, we can't fail a student on the first term. We must give them an "I", or incomplete. Each teacher has to make extra or new work for these "slow" students. Well this is really time consuming, and all of us here in Kelowna hate doing it. I have a system whereby the students have to memorize phrases. Last term I had to make extra work, for 40 students, and with this method, where they can't cheat, only 4 students came on Wednesday after school to memorize the phrases. It a real blessing.Of course the phrases that they memorize are from the Rapanese tapes. They like the tapes, so they don't complain.
