Summary: Excellent
Comment: Excellent program, halfway into the program and I have a uncanny sense of confidence when speaking about basic subjects such as date, time, heat, places, and basic conjugations. Will be purchasing the entire set. Would recommend to any and all looking for a fast self-paced immersion course, which only takes 30 minutes a day.

Summary: I was robbed! by Primsleur people....
Comment: I ordered a 4 CD set and everything was O.K. UNTIL,the people at Primsleur sent me a 16 CD set that I didn't order(called a Free Trial")It was anything but FREE.I told the Primsleur woman was rude to me when I tried to explain that I didn't want the CDs and was sending them back.Long story short I was sent a billed for something I DID NOT ORDER! Run far!Run fast!Crawl fast!whatever you have to do DO NOT BUY anything from these people because they might just fraud money from you...This company IS NOT a good bussiness idea!

Summary: audiobook format is awkward on mp3 player
Comment: You will need to buy several audiobooks as each has five chapters. The problem is ALL six books have the SAME title. Thus I must scroll the entire length of the title to see which book it is. Try scrolling "Audible: Spanish 1, Second Revised Edition: Lessons ...." six times to find the book you want. My complaints to Pimsleur and to Audio.com have not resolved this. The format for learning Spanish is good, the voices are very pleasant and the pace is suitable. Thus I will tolerate the inconvenience of scrolling. Soon there will be a new repetitive motion injury. Instead of Blackberry thumb we will have Scrolling Calluses. All they need to do is change the sequence of the words in the title so the number of each Lesson appears first. Is this not common sense?

Summary: OK For Beginners, Too Formal for Southern US
Comment: This is a good start for a beginner who knows almost no Spanish at all. I personally found it way too elementary for me and found myself giving the Spanish equivalent for the spoken English words and phrases BEFORE the speaker on the CD could. Also, this is formal Castillian Spanish, not the Spanish spoken by most Spanish speakers in the US. Also, I have not heard the more personal form of "you", which is "tu" used yet. I find the topic of the conversations somewhat offensive and people are asking each other to give them money and being choosy about it. I wished I had gone with Rosetta Stone.

Summary: An excellent auditory learning method
Comment: This is the third language I've learned the rudiments of via the Pimsleur method. I had Spanish and French in high school (during the last century) but I also picked up enough German to negotiate a hiking trip in Austria and I'd never learned it before. The Spanish CDs have been a boon to me and if you are primarily an auditory learner as I seem to be, I believe you will be pleased with them.
