Dr. Blair's Spanish In No Time: The Revolutionary New Language Instruction Method That's Proven To Work

Rating:
Summary: Spanish class was never this much fun
Review: This is I think the first of a new line of language CDs, and for once it really sounds new. The box says that the man behind this series believes that you have to be engaged to pay enough attention to learn a language, and he makes sure you're engaged by keeping you entertained. Games, stories, even something that sounds a lot like Spanglish -- You never know what's going to happen next on this CD.

The good news is that it works. Big time. I feel like I can travel to South America and get around, do my business and enjoy myself, just by listening to these three CDs. And I'm pretty sure that if I listen to them again, I'll learn even more.

The whole thing costs under $18. And the CD-ROM that comes with it is worth that much on its own-with a dictionary and practice exerices as well as lots of information about Spanish culture. I've never seen a combination of audio CD and CD-ROM in the same foreign language package before, but it sure seems like a great idea to me!
