What our customer's say!

"Cheesy but does the job", As I started watching it, the first the you notice is how incredibly cheesy it is-the 'teacher and student' and the production quality!!! That aside, it does a dang good job teaching Spanish-it's clear, informative, and useful material. And, you can't beat the price! I would suggest this DVD to anyone who wants to learn Spanish...just first be aware of how incredibly 'cheesy' it is!

"Good deal for this price", This is definitely a good deal for the price, but it's not perfect. It mainly shows two guys talking, one is the teacher and the other student, in different locations in Mexico.

A few minor problems: occasionally the audio is out of sync with video. Also you can't turn the background music off.

But overall I'm happy because I can put kids in front of it, let them watch it a few times, and surely they'll retain something.

"An elementary Spanish introduction, and not "immersion"", As I've seen all too often in language course advertising, the use of "immersion" in this course's title has been badly abused. True "immersion" means the student is exposed almost exclusively to the language being learned - even when it comes to explanations. The immersion process, though, like a nuclear reaction, is supposed to be controlled - the student hears words and phrases over and over with the view of attaining the ability to think in the language. 8 DVDs is a fair amount of time for presenting material where the student would be able to see and hear Spanish being spoken in progressively more difficult dialogs, the dialog material dissected and explained using visual cues to inform the viewer of what the Spanish means. Unfortunately, nothing like that happens in this DVD course. While I realize it would be unrealistic to expect anything close to fluency after 8 hours of watching TV, perhaps 80-90 percent of the video time is wasted with the two "actors" discussing the beautiful scenery and the basics of elementary Spanish grammar - in English. Yes, you will learn some basic Spanish vocabulary and simple phrases like "I am an auto mechanic", "The table is large" or "The cliffs are tall". Like the old "phrase book" approach, you will learn some useful situational phrases. There are occasional scenes where the viewer is presented with rapid dialogs by native speakers which I suspect were introduced in order to justify the use of the term "immersion. However, these are not structured in any meaningful way with the course material and are not anything like true "immersion". As a beginning course, it might prove entertaining in acquainting somebody with elementary Spanish, but I can't recommend it as a serious language course.

"Great Value but Bad Spelling", These DVDs are a great value when you consider that you get 8 DVDs for $30. They are shot on scene in Mexico, and the scenery is beautiful. It's also helpful for learning new words, because if you are learning the word for supermarket, then the narrators stand in front of a supermarket. This makes it easier to remember words and is also more fun than someone lecturing in a classroom setting. These DVDs also teach Mexican Spanish instead of European Spanish, which is great if you're American.

This video does not explain how grammar works. It assumes that the best way to learn a language is through memorization and immersion. I personally would enjoy learning a little more about how the language works instead of just memorizing words, but everybody learns languages differently, and the videos do a good job of teaching and building vocabulary.

The biggest problem with the videos is the typographical errors. When teaching a new word or phrase, the word or phrase appears typed on the screen. Many of these words or phrases are misspelled, and accent marks are never included. You will have to double check the spelling of every word you learn, and this is time consuming and no fun.

"Better than I expected", This set has more information than all six DVD's I purchased over the last two years. It is as advertised, and the best value. I just finished the set and am looking forward to starting over many more times. If you want to learn spanish, this set is a step above the rest.
