Summary: Not bad for Intermediates trying to remember and brush up on their Spanish from an absence.
Comment: I found this is a good starter to restart your spanish practicing. It's not for beginners. They touch the very basics very quickly and well if you don't know how to play with the inflections and all the good differences between the languages, I could see someone getting lost easily. It's not a bad product. Only thing is the pauses to repeat or to think about what you have to say is too short and usually you're saying it as they repeat the answer you just said. Other than that, I am very happy with the purchase and I like how it's easy to use in the car. Beginners in the language beware!

Summary: slow and easy good beginners lessons
Comment: perhaps not advanced enough for someone who has some spanish but for the raw beginner this is a good one - drive listen and learn!

Summary: Useful if Used with Behind the Wheel Spanish/Not Alone
Comment: I have purchased virtually every Spanish course I could find on Amazon.
Some are great, like Behind the Wheel Spanish 8 CDs and text.
Others are medicore, like Drive Time Spanish.
Drive Time would be better if they cut out the horns blowing and all the other cute tricks that distract rather than teach.
Aside from this and other drawbacks, I do feel that the course is worth purchasing if used with another superior course such as Behind the Wheel Spanish.Behind the Wheel Spanish/Complete Illustrated Text/Answer Keys/8 One Hour

Summary: Impossible to follow
Comment: CD 1 starts off great! The speaker reviews words over and over, and they're used in sentences repeatedly. It moves nice and slow, which is valuable when you're trying to drive (Drive Time...)
By CD2 they quit the repetition, and they speak the words so quickly, there's absolutely no hope of keeping up.
I gave up

Summary: Not for beginners but a great tool for those with prior exposure to spanish
Comment: This audio collection is a definite tool if you have had previous exposure to learning spanish. If you are a beginner with no experience in learning the lanuguage, this series probably moves too fast for you and is a little more difficult to comprehend. I had 4 years of spanish in high school but had a 4 year lull where I didn't study the language so I lost a lot. This CD set offered a quick reintroduction to the language on the first CD and then takes off into some of the grammar and a lot of dialogue. This is a very valuable tool in learning to feel comfortable speaking the language. I listen in the car on the way to work and back and have listened to each CD several times so it sticks in my brain. I would reccomend to anyone who has taken at least a year of spanish in the past and feels comfortable with the basics such as pronouns, simple phrases and some verbs.

Now anyone can learn a foreign language while commuting to work, running errands, or even taking a trip with the family. The new all-audio Drive Time series starts with an ingenious “On-Ramp” CD that eases language learners into Spanish, French, Italian, or Japanese with simple, practical expressions and engaging warm-up exercises. Three additional CDs contain 18 lessons that cover all of the essentials—vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and basic conversation.
Drive Time also includes a 64-page reference guide for anyone who would like to see spellings or read dialogues as a review—from the passenger seat, of course!
