Summary: Spanish Like Crazy VS. Learn Spanish in Your Car
Comment: I am posting the same review under both titles. I have both sets of CD's. They are VERY different from each other. Each has strong & weak points. Which you chose depends on your goals.
Advice:
If you are leaving for a Spanish-speaking country within one month, and if you want to be able to get by and ask "At what time does the last bus leave for the beach?", "Where is the bathroom?", and "The air conditioning does not work.", then buy Learn Spanish in Your Car. No question.
If you have never taken any Spanish in school and do not even know what it means to "congugate a verb", then buy Learn Spanish Like Crazy. No question.
If you know the very basics, and want to build your vocabulary quickly, like for a vacation, buy Spanish in your Car.
If you want a supplement to a Spanish class you are taking or about to take in a classroom setting, buy Spanish Like Crazy.
Summaries:
Learn Spanish in Your Car:
Lots of vocabulary quickly. Travel focused. Does NOT teach verb congugations until far into the course. I took 1 year of Spanish in school 20 yrs ago. If I did not already know that "tengo" and "tiene" are the same root word, I think I would have been fairly lost with this course from the onset. Within a month on commuting, however, I think this course will have you getting by for a vacation. If you care mostly about getting by (directions, time, booking a hotel room, buying a bus ticket), and not about perfect grammar, I like this a lot.
Spanish Like Crazy:
Starts like a Spanish class would in school. You start by congugating -AR verbs. Then you learn questions, "Do you practice Spanish?" and possessive pronouns. The lessons are like drill sessions: "Now ask, 'Is the coat his?' Now answer, 'no, it is not his coat. It is mine.' Now say, 'It is my coat, but the hat is not mine'." Intense, but you'll know the grammar by the end. Vocabular comes later, but it does not seem travel oriented.
I like using them both. However, I have 6 months before my trip to South America.

Summary: Fantastico!!
Comment: I love this Learning Spanish Like Crazy Light! At first I thought it was going to be hard to learn like with any other language learning CD/book. I took 6 years of Spanish and barely knew any Spanish, I couldnt even have a conversation in Spanish. I listened to 2 CDs from this set, and learned more than I did than in those 6 years, and can have full conversations without a problem.
When I get more money I will be purchasing the full Learning Spanish Like Crazy sets. This is great, and much cheaper than aot of the one that advertise on TV.
Love it!!

Summary: Learning Spanish like Crazy Light
Comment: I bought this video set for my husband who has a head for numbers but not languages. It teaches you Spanish the way the citizens speak it, which is great since we plan to visit Peru in the future. I thought I was too busy to learn but by listening in I am picking up quite a bit too. We had some trouble with the third CD and they were great about replacing it immediatly. We will continue on with another of their sets after this one.

Summary: a language tyro
Comment: Learning spanish like crazy light is the first 14 lessons to the overall stage 1 program and is designed to be a sampler. However, it is a serious learning program and has been very well designed. Some of the choices of words are odd (e.g. "pillowcase" in the first lessons), but this is not a problem as each lesson builds very nicely on the previous. I am in the middle of using it and am very happy with my choice of program (though I have not tried some of the other comparable programs). I have never been able to learn languages in the past but do feel that I am making real progress now - and, in the form of spanish I want to speak - latin American (though ? which part(s) I have no idea). Best of all, I am doing it in my car while stuck in the usual commute - I am not even bothered by traffic any longer as it gives time for me to carry out a complete lesson (30-40 minutes) in one journey.
I will definitely be buying the rest of the program once I master these first lessons and recommend the program to anyone wanting to speak spanish with people on the american continents.

Learning Spanish Like Crazy was developed to teach everyday conversational Latin American Spanish. The course was developed after the Founder of the course realized that the Spanish that he had learned from other self-study Spanish courses was completely different from the Spanish that he was hearing Spanish speakers speak in Latin America and the U.S. Unlike many other Spanish courses, Learning Spanish Like Crazy teaches you how to speak real everyday conversational Latin American Spanish as opposed to "textbook" or formal Spanish. The course is all audio. The Light version of Learning Spanish Like Crazy consists of the first 16 lessons of Level I Learning Spanish Like Crazy. The complete Level I of Learning Spanish Like Crazy has a total of 30 audio lessons. As a bonus gift, with your order you will receive a link to download additional bonus video Spanish lessons.
