Better With 'Behind the Wheel Spanish' 8 CDs [Posted on 2007-05-12]
I have read reviews which slam 'Spanish for Dummies' pretty hard. Maybe some of the criticism is justified. I don't know.
I personally like Spanish for Dummies but do not recommend you use it alone. The book and CD have too many learning gaps.
I give the program a four star because it is still worth the money if even it is used alone.
However, if you supplement this course with 'Behind the Wheel Spanish' 8 CDs and text, then I think I could increase the rating to a 5 Star when used together.
Why?
Because with 'Behind the Wheel' you learn to make easy but essential 'sentence bits' that according to author, every kid knows but most adults don't learn with most language courses.
With these small but useful sentences you begin instantly to communicate, adding, enhancing, and increasing your ability to speak and understand original Spanish. Like magic, naturally though.
At this point you can add Spanish for Dummies for a more thorough understanding of the language, a different approach, and more practice.
Much better together, but, if you only have enough money for one, start with Behind the Wheel.

Spanish lessons [Posted on 2008-07-24]
This is an excellent way to learn Spanish. The CD's were easy to follow and to understand. Great to listen to while driving. After listening to them a few times, I went to the Dominican and was able to converse quite well with the staff at our Spanish-speaking resort.

Great learning tool [Posted on 2008-09-16]
This is a great learning tool. I took a trip to Puerto Rico in May. My Spanish skills were okay, but I knew enough to get around thanks to the audio book. Great buy.

Good practical practice [Posted on 2008-09-23]
The cd has many basic but usable phrases and words. Regular usage will result in improved Spanish literacy.

Good but not great [Posted on 2008-10-02]
These cds and the book that goes along are for the most part, very good. There are some markdowns though. First thing I noticed, parts of the book don't go along with the audio. The book with either have extra words or they book will have words that the audio doesn't say. So that can be a little confusing at times. There are also some (in my opinion) very useless words/phrases.

Its not all bad though....I think its a great starting point.
