Una canción de Navidad

Summary: Excellent aid for learning Spanish
Review: I am an intermediate student of Spanish, and my biggest problem is understanding native speakers who are talking at their normal (rapid) rate.

This audiotape has been a tremendous help in improving my ability to understand speech "on the fly". The reader has excellent enunciation, reads in a dramatic and entertaining fashion, and the Spanish seems grammatically correct, without a lot of confusing idioms or colloquialisms.

And since the story is so familiar, if I lose the thread at any point, I soon am back on track.

My only criticism is that the story is abridged at certain points, which can throw off the listener who is familiar with the story.

I have sent this tape to others trying to learn to be fluent in Spanish, and I would recommend it to anyone.
