Summary: Really Fast and Effective Communication
Review: I am a former US diplomat and current international business consultant. I can say that Language Dynamics courses are the only courses I know of that are truly dedicated to effective and immediate communication in the target language. Academic courses often reflect the literary interests of professors, many of whom never had the experience of learning the target language as a second language. With these courses, you can hit the streets after every lesson knowing you can say more than you could yesterday.

Summary: Excellent Tapes and Booklet!
Review: I am impressed with the quality of instruction found in 'All The Spanish You'll Need'. I work in the travel industry and have been deluged with poor quality phrase book style instructional courses for years. There is nothing wrong with a few stock phrases, don't get me wrong. The difference between that type of course and All the Spanish You'll Need is that this is the 'real' thing, not a phony cover up. With this course you will truly learn a foundation which could eventually lead to fluency in Spanish. This of course requires lots of explanation which the instructor and the native speaker on the course provide. One needs explanations when learning a foreign language, as well as a good solid method like this one where you learn to speak original sentences within a half hour of using the course. There was even section on travel vocabulary, idiomatic phrases, using the past, present and future, and 'practical' vocabulary used by native speakers. The voices on the tapes are by far the best I have ever heard (and I have heard a great deal of them, believe me). The native Spanish speaker's voice is simply superb. Most tapes leave you in the dark. You don't usually even understand what the heck they are saying half of the time. With this course I got an instant English translation and often a clear, concise explanation so I ALWAYS understood what I was learning.

Summary: Very Intelligently Designed
Review: I am impressed with the way in which the author designed this course which allows one to maximize ones communicative ability in Spanish by using and combining a small amount of words and vocabulary. The simplicity of this course, and its effectiveness is simply amazing. I'm going to order copies for my entire family so that they'll leave my tapes alone and let me use them.

Summary: Excellent Results!!
Review: I base my review of 'All the Spanish You'll Need' on the excellent results I have gotten in a very short period of time.
Not only have I learned to communicate effectively in Spanish
(I am now understood and converse with native speakers at work) I have also learned to read and write the language a bit.
What impresses me most is that all of this was accomplished in a minimum of time and very enjoyably. This course is so easy and effective that I believe ANYONE could learn Spanish from it. I know I did.

Summary: Beware of this Product
Review: I received "All the Spanish You will Ever Need" today. It comes in a box so titled, and all the tapes have that title on them. The instruction book has that title on it, and the contents of the book are consistent with the title. However, the tapes have French lessons on them. So, I was cramming to learn Spanish fast because of my business, and I learn that on the return policy, I will have to wait a few weeks to get a refund; therefore, I have to lay out money on two products in order to have one. Beware of this product.

Summary: Excellent Tapes and Booklet!
Review: I recently ordered this series of tapes and have found them very useful in my quest to speak Spanish. The fidelity was just fine so I can't agree with the review that states the opposite. Combining this course with a couple of written ones that I have purchased seems to be ideal. The only area that could be improved is the manual that came with the course. Listing the sentence parts and words with pronounciation breakouts would be very helpful.Tip; I took the tapes and combined to make 1 CD in .mp3 format so I could listed from my laptop. rtmuller@earthlink.net
