Learn in Your Car: Complete Language Course: Spanish
Look ma, no textbooks! The Learn in Your Car series treats you like a child--in the best possible way--starting with one-word phrases ("please," "good-by"), counting exercises, and simple nouns ("bus," "train") designed to imitate a childs learning process. First you hear the words in English, then they are repeated slowly in clear, unaccented pronunciations. The method is extremely effective for those who dont know a thing, or for those who want to brush up by testing themselves when the English words are spoken. The tapes emphasize the building blocks of communicating in a foreign country rather than rote phrases that only apply on the tape and not in real-life exchanges. Level 1 painlessly covers basic verb forms, essential prepositions, near future and past tenses, as well as shopping, hotel reservations, and other travel-related situations. The series includes French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish in three levels that can be purchased individually or in boxed sets. Each individual level contains two 90-minute cassettes (or CDs) and an accompanying booklet (not for use behind the wheel) with helpful explanations and scripts for the lessons.

I strongly recommend this 3 level program. I began the tapes a few months ago with almost no knowledge of Spanish, and have used just the tapes - no book. After about 2 months of using the tapes in my car, I enrolled in a weekly class in beginning conversational Spanish, and found that I was way ahe

These cassettes became my friend --in my car, and in the gym. I had had a week of intensive instruction, about a year earlier, in Latin America, so I wasnt starting from scratch, but mighty close. And I was busy, so I couldnt supplement these tapes with any book study. I found these cassettes -- tru

OK - yeah, you will improve your Spanish with these tapes, but I think for the money, the quality is quite low. For one, the recording quality is extremely poor, indicating obvious studio mistakes - levels go up and down, cut out sometimes, etc. Secondly, I just dont agree with how this course is de

Easily the best mobile DVD player you can buy for the car, short of having an expensive professional system installed.
This unit is also safer than those "in a bag" portable DVD players, which hang on the back of the seat. Imagine what would happen in a car accident with one of those. I wouldnt w..

Car Talks been on the air for a long time, and they must have plenty of great material for compilations like this. Unfortunately, what went on this edition, while funny enough, just isnt worth the high price. Save your money for blank cassettes and just record the regular show is my advice...
