Product description
Synopsis
Conversational Spanish includes the first 16 lessons from the Comprehensive Level I. 8 hours, interactive audio-only instruction. Language learning with real-life conversations. What is the Pimsleur difference? The Pimsleur Method provides the most effective language-learning program ever developed. The Pimsleur Method gives you quick command of Spanish structure without tedious drills. Learning to speak Spanish can actually be enjoyable and rewarding. The key reason most people struggle with new languages is that they aren't given proper instruction, only bits and pieces of a language. Other language programs sell only these pieces -- dictionaries; grammar books and instructions; lists of hundreds or thousands words and definitions; audios containing useless drills. They leave it to you to assemble these pieces as you try to speak. Pimsleur enables you to spend your time learning to speak the language rather than just studying its parts. When you were learning English, could you speak before you knew how to conjugate verbs? Of course you could. That learning process is what Pimsleur replicates. Pimsleur presents the whole language as one intergrated piece so you can succeed. With Pimsleur you get: Grammar and vocabulary taught together in everyday conversation, Interactive audio-only instruction that teaches spoken language organically, The flexibility to learn anytime, anywhere, 30-minute lessons designed to optimize the amount of language you can learn in one sitting. Millions of people have used Pimsleur to gain real conversational skills in new languages quickly and easily, wherever and whenever -- without textbooks, written exercises, or drills. About the program: Conversational Spanish includes the 10 lessons from Pimsleur's Basic Spanish plus an additional 6 lessons. The 16 lessons in Spanish are the same first 16 lessons in the Pimsleur Spanish Level 1. Once you complete the 16 lessons in this edition, we are confident that you will want to continue on and complete the full, 30-lesson Level 1. When you also purchase the Comprehensive Spanish Level I Program directly from Simon & Schuster, we will give you a rebate of $150.00. Please see the bottom of this package for details. Note: The purchase of this product alone does not qualify for any rebate.

Reviews
"Designed for the ear and not the eye...the lessons provide PERFECT 30-minute bites of work." -- St Louis Post-Dispatch

"EXTREMELY ACCESSIBLE...each section within the lessons is short enough to hold our attention, and there is enough repetition to teach even those who consider themselves slow learners...Pimsleur [programs] are extremely thorough and easy to use -- quite lively!" -- Boston Herald

"I tried other language programs with little success...This is the best by far!"-- Pamela A. Mitchell, Pilot, International Society of Women Airline Pilots

"Learn French while commuting, German while jogging, Spanish (or Russian, Italian, and Japanese) while cooking all with NO WRITTEN MATERIALS!"--New York Daily News

"Learn to habla espanol or parlez francais before your next trip aboard. The interactive LESSONS CHALLENGE STUDENTS to use new words in conversation instead of memorize them."--American Way(American Airlines inflight magazine)

"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed." -- AudioFileMagazine

A fun way to learn basic conversational Spanish in 16 thirty-minute lessons

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

This method is so much more fun than starting out counting uno, dos, tres. I like to pop a cd in my car as I'm driving and it turns a boring drive into an opportunity to advance my knowledge. The lessons are about thirty minutes each and they move at a fairly comfortable pace so you're not feeling overwhelmed. I found my copy new for about $30 shipped which makes it much more affordable than the other popular program. The program consists of 16 lessons presented on 8 compact discs stored neatly in a case. I'd recommend it.

Good basic course

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

Pimsleur Conversational Spanish by Pimsleur is a very good course with one exception. It is basically for Spain and argentina instead of Latin America but most of it does apply to anywhere.

I have been in a spanish speaking environment for most of my life and have never been able to comprehend most of what I hear, however with the Pimsleur Spanish lessons, both my fiance and I have been able to learn at an incredible pace.

Great price, quick shipping.

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

Being in the healthcare field we are seeing more spanish-speaking patients establishing and there is usually one parent out of the family that does not speak any English at all. So with more of them coming to us, we in our office chose to teach ourselves spanish so we can complete thorough
H & P's as well as educate the patient as well. We are having fun learning and others that speak spanish are assisting us in our quest as well. They enjoy our little sticky notes plastered all over labeling items in spanish. We are NEVER to old to learn.
