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 ahead of the rest of the class due to the tapes. I have continued to augment my classes with the tapes, and have found that the tapes have dramatically accelerated my progress. The lessons are real-life situations with words and phrases that one uses in everyday conversational Spanish. There is just the right amount of time to respond in Spanish before the tape gives the Spanish phrase, and the speed of the Spanish speaking people on the tape increases slightly with each tape, forcing one to think a little more quickly as one progresses. The way the lessons are set up is quite logical, and one lesson flows to the next. I play and respond to each tape over and over until I have really mastered the material before moving on to the next tape, and now, near the end of level 3, I am wishing that there was another level in this series to which I could progress.
