Review Instant Immersion Audio Spanish Course

Instant Immersion is the way to go if you want the completeness of an academic, book type Spanish language course but prefer the convenience of an 8-disk Audio CD set that you can listen to on the go. This comprehensive and complete course even gives lessons on the Spanish alphabet -- something a lot of other courses (especially audio courses) tend to leave out.

They begin by going through the Spanish alphabet and saying the letters and giving you an example Spanish word for each of the letters. Compared to a lot of other audio Cd Spanish courses, this one places much more emphasis on grammar.

The lessons are followed by a review section where you can test what you've learned and decide if you know the material well or if you need to go back and listen to the lesson again.

There is also a conversation to give you a practical application of your lesson.

The lesson-ending conversations are presented in three helpful formats: 1) At normal speed without any pauses to give you the flavor of the language. 2) Conversation presented with a pause for you to repeat the phrases for practice. 3) Translated conversation where each Spanish phrase is immediately followed by an English translation. At the end of the conversations section there is a series of questions that allow you to test your Spanish comprehension and see how much you picked up in the dialogue.

Instant Immersion Spanish stands out by providing the heavy language details like parts of speech, sentence structure, and grammar - the things you'd find in Spanish books- but in a convenient audio CD package you can listen to in your car.
