Living Language Spanish, Essential Edition: Beginner course, including coursebook, 3 audio CDs, and free online learning

"Not bad, but" according to E. L. Gelhaar. You might find it useful as a way to begin studying Spanish on your own, though for me, that would be impossible. I bought it to refresh my very old high school Spanish for a trip to Spain and found it less useful than 15-Minute Spanish for that purpose, partly because 15-Minute has more traveller-oriented vocabulary and partly because it teaches Castillian pronunciation and LL uses Latin-. Essentially Right At nearly 62, it is hard to teach yourself another language, but this course has helped me enough to be able to at least communicate on the most basic level . It takes much longer to get things to stick in my head at my age, but you can repeat the CD's as much as is needed and hear how the words are pronounced. It's very helpful!. Learning Spanish Muy Facil - Very Easy This Living Spanish is perfect for a dumb Anglo as myself. No presssure style, easy Englihs to Spanish and Spnaish to Englihs, contemporary phrase, just enough grammar to learn and not get put off. Esta bien. LIkely to purchase the Intermediate and Advanced versions of this very user-friendly CD language learning. Muchas Gracias.
