About this product

Product Information

This Conversational program contains 8 hours of interactive audio-only instruction, effective language learning with real-life spoken practice sessions. HEAR IT, LEARN IT, SPEAK ITWhat 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 integrated 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. Conversational Spanish includes the 10 lessons from Pimsleur's Basic Spanish plus an additional 6 lessons. The 16 lessons in Conversational Spanish are the same first 16 lessons in the Pimsleur Comprehensive Spanish Level 1.

  • Speak Spanish in a week

    I listened to the 30 minute lessons twice a day for a week on my way back and forth to work. By the end of the week I could speak more Spanish than my son who had taken Spanish class in school for a whole year. I can already engage in simple conversations with my Spanish speaking friends. I have tried other courses but this one really works!

  • Great Value! Really does Work!

    I have only been using this for 3 days, but I am already able to speak and understand some Spanish like I never imagined that I could. The program is scientifically based on memory function and recall intervals. You are taught a word or phrase, and then asked to recall it periodically. If you want to learn, and are excited to listen and learn, then this is for you. If you are lazy and you don't want to put in the time to listen to the 30 minute lessons, then save your money, you can't learn if you don't participate in repeating the phrases or if you never take it out of the box. I paid less than $25 for mine, and feel like I already know more Spanish than my daughter learned in two years of it in high school. Babies don't learn English by writing words and phrases on note-cards and being quizzed, they learn it from hearing and repeating it. That's how easy this is. After you start repeating back, your confidence builds and encourages you to learn even more. It's easier than I thought it would be after watching my kids struggle with the subject in school and come away with the same words they knew going in... adiós

  • So Far the Best

    with no prior Spanish experience I tried other learning CD's - They were difficult and I didn't learn much. The 1st day with Pimsleur I felt like I could go to the market and at least carry on a small conversation. So happy I bought this. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn to speak Spanish. The reading and writing will come later. For now I am learning the language and feeling confident. Thank you for great CD's

  • Great for learning while driving

    So far, I like this program a lot. I'm on my 6th lesson, and I like the repetition. I like the fact that I can use this while driving. I have more time while driving, and less time on my hands to do a computer based program, so this works for me. Great value at its relatively low price, too!

  • Excellent so far!

    It is easy to understand and follow and you only have to listen to it so you can learn Spanish while driving, etc. It makes it easier than having to be in front of a computer.
