Spanish Complete Course

This set comes with a total of 9 audio CDs, 3 for the Beginning level, 3 for the Intermediate level, and 3 for the Advanced level, and has a book to correspond with each level. The books are a combination textbook-workbook. The CDs and books are designed to be used together: the content on the audio CDs is printed in the books. But there is additional content (exercises) in the books that are not on the CDs. Although you can just listen to a CD in your car while driving, for example, or read in one of the books at bedtime without playing the audio for it, having a study time and using one of the CDs together with the book is a terrific way to learn. The practice exercises are interspersed throughout each lesson (and the answer key is printed on the same page making it easy to check my answers). I like to pause the CD and do the practice exercises as I come to them in the book, rather than going through the whole audio for the lesson and going back to the exercises afterwards. In the audio lessons you listen and repeat. Listening and repeating means I learn to pronounce the Spanish words correctly as I learn them. Being able to read along as I listen also helps me to "tune my ear" to the Spanish sounds of the words, and recognize them more easily the next time I hear them. The CDs also include conversations that are great for improving comprehension of spoken Spanish. After reading along with a lesson, I listen a second, or even third time without reading along. This has really helped improve my comprehension. I like this program better than a formal Spanish class because it costs a lot less, I can move at my own pace through the lessons, and I can repeat anything as many times as it takes to learn it. I like that the program incorporates the vocabulary I have just learned into complete sentences and practice exercises, both of which help with retention of the vocabulary, and the overall learning process. I found this set at the public library near my house, and liked it so much that I I kept re-checking it out until someone else requested it. I wanted to own it, but figured it would be cost-prohibitive for me. When I saw I could buy the whole set for under $30, I was thrilled. The content of this set is huge for the cost. No doubt about it, this set is well worth the money!

It's really best book for Spanish learner especially who wants to do self study. I'm also studying it and its work out part is helpful for self test.

I love this course it's well-structured, nicely paced . the exercises or engaging.. I've got half way through the book in one day I was that motivated. This is great for complete beginners or people already with a little bit of Spanish or a significant knowledge of Spanish. I haven't yet listened to the CDs as I will do that on my commute to work to supplement the work I have done in the book. Would definitely recommend. I love the way certain explanations of grammar I worded so clearly and easy to understand

This is what I have wanted for a long time. When studying English, audio texts are essential. But I couldn't find good ones for Spanish learners in Japan. Now that I have this set, I look forward to learning Spanish with this.
