4.0 out of 5 stars Best Review Course, Oct 13 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Spanish with Michel Thomas (Audio CD)
I am what could be called a fallen-away Spanish speaker - this course has returned me to the fold. The material is well presented in a logical fashion and I would give it 5 stars except for the male student. Doesn't Michel Thomas understand that none of us needs to hear the language mispronounced? We don't have to pay more than a hundred dollars for that. We do just fine all on our own and for nothing. That aside, with a little additional time devoted to the acquisition of vocabulary words, one should be able to manage very nicely in Spain, or in Latin America. If a person is a rank beginner, I think that it would be quite difficult to feel confident and/or fluent without adding a workbook regimen to the CDs. nevertheless, this is the best system that I have come across and I recommend that you give it a try.

4.0 out of 5 stars Execellent on-the-fly program, July 21 2004
By 
Lyle Robinson (Kingston, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spanish with Michel Thomas (Audio CD)
I have tried many methods for learning Spanish, and have had loads of French from elementary, high school and university. I have also done extensive immersion training in both languages. I bought the 2 CD set, which was a mistake. I should have read some of these reviews first, then purchased the full set. It is excellent.

My advice, buy the set when you are about to embark on a long car or plane trip. You get used to sitting on a plane and muttering to yourself while your wearing headphones. Bring some Shakira (Spanish only) and Mana, maybe some Intakto to punctate the verbosity.

I agree with some of the other reviewers. It could have done easily without the male student. I also found Michel's pronunciaton to be a bit dodgy at times, whether you're familiar with speakers from Spain, Argentina or Ecuador. I don't think these CD's should be used as a substitute for a good 6 weeks spent in Guatemala or Andalusia with a native speaker and proper lessons, but they make an excellent introduction and refresher. Thomas' method is easily the best audio medium based material I have ever tried.

4.0 out of 5 stars The BEST introduction to Spanish available today, July 11 2004
This review is from: Spanish with Michel Thomas (Audio CD)
Several years ago I started a new job and found that many of my clients spoke only Spanish. In reponse to the need to communicate more effectively at work, I began to learn Spanish. I took a couple evening classes in conversational Spanish at a local community college. I also went through several CD progams, including Berlitz, Pimsleur, and a few others. While I got decent at reading and writing Spanish, listening and speaking always seemed more difficult. This probably has to do with my not wanting to make a fool of myself in conversation by saying something stupid to one of my clients. Recently I purchased this set of CDs by Michel Thomas and finally I have found a teacher who knows how to teach conversational Spanish. His method is excellent and fairly painless. Although I already knew the vocabulary and grammar on these CDs, they gave me confidence and helped me understand the nitty gritty nuts and bolts of the spoken language in a way that no other teacher or course had done. I would highly recommended these CDs as a place to start if your goal is to speak and be understood. The 4 stars reflect the poor packaging. The individual CDs are wedged into a plastic case and are not in their own sleeves. My set became dislodged in shipping and I received a set of scratched CDs because they were loose in the box and rubbed against each other in transit. You might want to buy them at a local store so that you can immediately return them if they are damaged. Otherwise, you need to ship them back and hope that the new set is not similarly damaged in shipping.
