Spanish On the Go w/Cassettes : A Level One Language Program

Rating:
Summary: Una cursa muy mal
Review: This course is the worst in the world! the speakers on the the tapes don't sound the least bit native and the way the words are spoken is not natural, at all. It does present a good amount of vocabulary. The course seems to assume that the reader has a basic understanding of Spanish,as well, making it not completely for beginers. I highly suggest that anyone planning to purchase a Spanish speaking program spend more money on a better program, of which there are many.

Summary: A great collection of dialogues
Review: This is a collection of short dialogues reflecting various everyday situations. I found them to be very lively and well put together. Being a collection of dialogues, not a course as such, it can be used as a great supplement to any text-based or even an audio course, to enhance one's vocabulary and especially to train one's ear for comprehending spoken Spanish.

It is a graded collection, and the level rises quite steeply, so one can't expect to absorb them all in one shot, but only as one's knowledge of grammar and vocabulary evolves.

The voices on tapes are native Castialian Spanish, at least in the previous edition I own. I highly recommend these tapes as a very high quality study supplement.
