Do you know what the hardest thing for a Spanish learner is? Finding proper learning material that they can handle, which is precisely the reason we’ve designed this book! Teachers love giving out tough, expert-level literature to their students - books that present many new problems to the learner and force them to search for words in a dictionary every five minutes - it’s not entertaining, useful, or motivating for the student, at all, and many soon give up on learning!

Unbelievably effective!
As a complete beginner to Spanish I was expecting this audiobook to maybe teach me the alphabet, some numbers, some basic greeting ... it did so much more than that! I listened to the recording in the car on the way to work and even after the first 30 minutes, I was able to put together some very sophisticated sentence structures and understood, based on common letter patterns and cognates, how to construct many more. Michel Thomas' style of teaching and the use of two students in the recording ensures that you quickly learn how to build up full, very useful, sentences, as well as understand what not to do (as the students make exactly the same mistakes that you will!) I would whole-heartedly recommend it.

Really excellent way of learning espanol for me.
Would you be willing to try another book from Michel Thomas? Why or why not?
Yes. I really like this way of learning languages. Given basic words or ways of saying things and then having to work out how to say phrases from these. Great learning in a kind of problem solving way where the mind naturally picks up and remembers things from almost working out/realising and teaching itself, rather than repetition.
Works well for my mind and memory that way.

Works for me
I tried the free 20 minute sample lesson to begin which I would recommend to see if this style of learning suits you.
My first impression was that it sounded very unprofessional but once I heard the way the tutor interacts with the students I realised it is part of the informal teaching technique.
By the end of 20 minutes I was able to understand some basic sentences and by the end of the introductory course I am able to structure basic sentences.
I like the fact that it feels like you are partaking in a class and that I'm not the slowest member (though it does get a bit frustrating that the male student still cannot pronounce "puede" after about a thousand attempts)
As other reviewers have pointed out be aware that the introductory course is the same as lessons 1&2.
I intend to buy the other lessons in the course and expect my Spanish to vastly improve

Fresh approach to learning Spanish
Would you try another book written by Michel Thomas or narrated by Michel Thomas?
I will continue giving Michel Thomas a go, because there were some key learnings in this chapter that stuck with me.
Any additional comments?
There are two "students", a male and female, accompanying Michel Thomas. The male student is incredibly irritating because he is slow and gets it wrong all the time. If it was just Michel and the female voice it would be great.

Great teaching style, infuriating delivery.
I found this teaching style to be marvelously effective, having not experienced it before with other languages. However, the constant mispronunciations by one of the students, and the constant subsequent corrections made by the teacher are maddening. Also, it sounds like Michel (teacher) is sucking on a lolly throughout the entire lesson. Unnecessary on both counts.

Best method of learning Spanish
It is rare that I leave a 5 star review. I have listened to lots of Spanish tutoring on audible, and this is by far the best. He makes it easy and gives background understanding. I really wish I'd come across his method before buying the other Spanish audio books I've bought! I would highly recommend this method.

Thought I'd learn more
I like the style of learning but I think you need to be an absolute beginner to do this. I have taught myself a bit of Spanish and was hoping this would introduce me to different tenses but it doesn't, and so I found myself learning little, but it was still good practice of the present tense

Fun, enjoyable and progress is made quickly
Having already done a little Spanish, I found this great for building my confidence in speaking the language. It was also great learning tricks on how to convert some nouns/adjectives from English into Spanish. Consequently your Spanish vocabulary will grow very quickly. It’s also great getting such clear guidance on pronunciation.
Overall, thoroughly enjoyable and well worth it.

marble mouth hard to understand
I listened to most of this guide and found it helpful but the teacher sounds like his dentures are about to fall out if his mouth, which at times makes it hard to understand him. The male student makes a lot of mistakes and I found that frustrating and distracting when I was speaking out loud along with it.

One of my most favourite practical Spanish lessons. Brings a new approach to learning through absorption as opposed to learning through memorisation.
I had to listen to it quite a few times but it is working for me at the minute. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is wanting to learn Spanish as an additional language.
