Easy Learning Spanish (Collins Easy Learning Audio Course)

Good for listening and learning in the car.
Easy to follow. Worthwhile purchase as a start to learning Spanish.

Well structured and a good introduction to Spanish. Great for beginners and a convenient way to introduce yourself to a language (easy to copy to an mp3 player and keep playing it until it sinks in).

I have started the Collins easy learning Spanish CDs and my boyfriend and I are finding them very useful. The CDs take things very slowly with a lot of repetition, which is crucial for gaining confidence. As a beginner who has made some half hearted attempts at Spanish with a phrase book in past, I have found this a much better method as I am learning the correct pronunciation and being able to follow and understand while listening. Its also good if you are trying to learn with someone else as the booklet provides dialogues of useful phrases to practise with which helps all the new words to sink in a bit more.

I was very impressed with the Collins easy learning Spanish CD course.
It is very easy to follow and comprehensive. It takes you through the basics and recaps throughout the CD.
The repetition helps you to recall the phrases easily. It also helps you with the pronounciation.
I would definitely recommend it.

I wanted to learn a little Spanish for holiday use but was unable to find a course at our local college. I wasn't sure if this system would be any good but decided to give it a try. I have had no regrets, the book is excellent, well laid out and easy to understand. The CD's are equally good, enabling repetition in a non-patronising manner. If like me you are looking to start with useful phrases this system is an excellent starting point and I would recommend it. It is presented in a simplistic but useful way that does not overwhelm the beginner and gives a good grounding, enabling a sense of achievement when you go on holiday and can interact with waiters etc. When I explained that I was trying to learn a little Spanish, our waiter was pleased that I was making an effort and helped with new words each day.
