Conversational Spanish in Nothing Flat 8 One Hour CDs-200 Page Illustated Text-Answer Keys - Tapesc

5 stars (Great Method) - I am enjoying both the book and the 8 CDs found in this course. Very effective method! Really gets you speaking Spanish quickly and without the hassle. Book is great too. Easy to read, follows the CDs and has a word for word tapescript at the back. Biggest Plus: Easy and Fast 4 stars (Conversational Spanish In Nothing Flat (Frobose)) - Easy to use -- have found a couple of errors in English-to-Spanish words, but no big deal. It is somewhat difficult to use the book in conjunction w/ the recording, because the book has no real format. Took me a while to realize the "almost verbatim" words on the tape are where an index usually is. Otherwise -- pretty decent method of learning to converse! 5 stars (My Personal Experience with Conversational Spanish in Nothing Flat) - In my opinion, no "single" language tool (a book for example) will make you completely proficient in a particular language. The key is to sellect various well crafted tools with different approaches. This gives you a more well-rounded view of your subject. Conversational Spanish in Nothing Flat will not by itself make you fluent but it adds "an important piece" to your developing knowledge and it does this very well by touching all bases and giving you lots of fun quizzes where new things are introduced and earlier lessons are reinforced again again. ...

Behind the Wheel Chinese Mandarin - Level 1- Learn to Speak Mandarin Chinese Quickly and Easily- 8

5 stars (Exceptionally Excellent) - I have purchased and successfully used Behind the Wheel Chinese/Mandarin. It blows me away that a person buying a car course in Chinese would complain about having a written text, Pinyin version or otherwise. Any true scholar of Chinese will tell you that learning to speak the language correctly is the key. Written Chinese is a whole new ball of wax and can actually detract from the learning experience for speaking purposes at least. Imagine trying to read Chinese while driving. Give me a break. For that reason, Behind the Wheel Chinese is simple, straightforward, easy to understand, easy to use. The course has two excellent native Mandarin speakers, a male and a female and an American instructor without an accent who explains everything. Both voices repeat twice so that you can duplicate the difficult and challenging sounds of Mandarin which uses different 'tones' to convey meaning. You learn all of this stuff in the comfort of your own car without having to look up or read anything. If you really want to learn to speak Mandarin, I recommend you go out and buy this course immediately. After you have learned to speak Mandarin at a conversational level from the course like I have, then go out and learn to write it if you will. Not me. I'm thrilled enough just to be able to speak and understand Mandarin at a normal conversational level. 2 stars (Almost but not quite) - There is no written version of the words and phrases on the CD's. A Pinyin version would make this set exceptional, and accompanying Chinese characters would make it even more useful. As is, this version depends solely on memorizing sounds and their associated meaning. Furthermore, similar sounds cannot be compared via their written counterpart. A lot of good work and design wasted for lack of "blueprints." Without additional instructional materials, even taking notes is all but impossible, for there is no way to associate the sounds on the CD's with any...

Behind the Wheel Spanish-Complete Illustrated Text-Answer Keys-8 One Hour

5 stars (Great Product and Packaging) - My Behind the Wheel course is the best I have yet tried. My course arrived shrink-wrapped in a nice vinyl album with a very nice book. No complaints. Delighted with the course overall. 3 stars (Needs better packaging) - Good product in general. My biggest issue is that the packaging is so bad that each time it was sent to me the cds had fallen out of their place in the container and got scratched up. 5 stars (UnMatched ! Head and Shoulders Above Other Spanish Audio Courses!) - I have checked out your Behind the Wheel course and the superiority and clarity was evident immediately. Very nicely organized and not littered with a bunch of grammatical terminology and categorization that bogs a learner down. The illustrated easy-to-comprehend text was definitely a plus and one that I really needed. Congratulations to Language Dynamics for doing such an excellent job putting together such an effective product. The pace, organization and enunciative clarity of this course is unmatched and is head and shoulders above other Spanish audio kits I have tried. ...

Behind the Wheel French 8 CD Course Behind the Wheel

5 stars (Excellent Organization and Method) - In looking at some of the reviews on this page I have to ask myself if I ordered the same course as these people. This review is for Behind the Wheel French 8 CDs by Language Dynamics. Lest you be swayed by the panic reviews that state that there isn't enough time to repeat or that the months of the year or the days shouldn't be presented in this order .... blah, blah, blah. Here are my objective, unbiased and clear opinions: First of all, the course is great. Easy to use and I mean E A S Y. This is not the first Language Dynamics course I have used, nor will it be my last. In my opinion the method used is beyond reproach and is far superior to anything out there that I have yet experienced. Celine has a marvellous and clear voice. Mark sounds confident and knowledgeable. Together they form an instructional 'team' dedicated to teaching you how to speak French. One is armed with native knowledge and native accent of the French language. The other, teaching experience and understanding of learning French as a native speaker of English. This rare and invaluable combination provides you, the learner, with a double insight. Celine's native accent and fluency. Mark's teaching experience and understanding of the French language. I understand from the website that Mark was even rated as an EXCELLENT instructor by his students at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana. Wow. Nice credentials. Celine on the other hand is fresh, clear, concise, and her voice and accent are easy to imitate. The organization and method involved are superb. Nowhere have I found a source that has taught me so much French in so little time. How do they do it? The system is actually quite organized. More traditional minds may view it as 'chaotic' because they are perhaps secretly seeking that grammatical 'morass' that constitutes most foreign language learning approaches. And if it isn't grammar that some miss, then it's RIGID structu...
