Raymond And Oscar M Ramirez Binding: Audio CD EAN: 9781591257332 Label: Penton Overseas Dimension: 2 x 10.1 x 9.2 inches ISBN: 1591257336 Manufacturer: Penton Overseas Publisher: Penton Overseas Number of items: 9 Publication date: January 01, 2005 Studio: Penton Overseas Ratings & Comments (Average:  )
- Very well packaged/profesisonal Product....But more boring to listen to than 'behind the wheel spanish'Packaging: I give LIYCS 5 stars for the package. CD's are all pressed like comercially made cd. It comes w/ sturdy cd case, cd of mp3/pdf of booklets (though some of the tracks are 96 kbps rather than 128 kbps), and 3 booklets w/ transcript. They booklets stink because you gotta read it sideways (in landscape mode)...and is just transript: 3 stars. I give BTWS 1 star for packaging. CD's are CD-r's that have been burned and have a white sticker in front which is b/w and printed using laser printer. Several of the tracks skipped and the first package that I got had CD#8 that didn't have any data on it...it was a blank CD-R. Amazon graciously shipped me a replacement the next day. The booklet in BTWS has transcripts of all the tapes along with exercises. Booklet gets 4 stars. Content: LIYCS gets 4 stars. It's mostly a traditional tape that covers all the contents of spanish language. However, I found it boring 2/2 to the repetition. LIYCS seems more difficult by the last CD than BTWS. LIYCS also has more tracks compared to BTWS which has less tracks (some of these tracks take up 20-something minutes) BTWS gets 4.5 stars. The packaging sucks, but the content is more entertaining. Easier to stay engaged. Annoying that the english speaker calls you "learner"..lol. "Learner, please.." In terms of content, BTWS seems to cover less material. Maybe that's why they have Level II and III. However, if I had to choose, I'd rather stay engaged and keep the CD on rather than buy a product which covers more material, but is boring. Overall: I'd buy BTWS if i'm a complete novice. Once I'm done w/ that, I'd consider LIYCS to get more vocab or consider BTWS Level II. To be honest, I'd go w/ BTWS since it keeps me more engaged and is more entertaining. They're supposed to come out w/ an updated version in August 2008. Hopefully by then it'll correct the deficiencies and be more professional.  - GREAT BACK UP I was a little disappointed that the bonus disk that come with this set didn't work...especially since it was new. By the time I found this out a considerable time had past and it was to late to return. These lessons are very easy to understand and make a great supplement to my Pimsleur lessons. I wouldn't suggest using this as your sole source for learning Spanish... it can become very mundane, (very slow repeating of every sentence and word). However, for the low price I recommend it as a great second learning tool as I like to use several different things to keep my learning more lively.  - Spanish on the runThis method of learning Spanish is just great!!! My wife and I use it whenever we travel and not only does it help us pick up a foreign language much better, it passes the time on long stretches of highway. Anyone wanting to learn Spanish who travels (Truckdrivers, it's ideal for you) will benefit and the price is unbelievably reasonable. - Behind the Wheel Spanish is Much BetterWhile it can be said that Learn in Your Car Spanish is a decent approach to learning to speak Spanish while u drive, nothing in this course can hold a candle to Behind the Wheel Spanish Behind the Wheel Spanish/Complete Illustrated Text/Answer Keys/8 One Hour My reasons for believing this follow: 1. Learn in Your Car, while good, is more traditional, thus rigid, inflexible, canned, parrotted, etc ... 2. Behind the Wheel is just the opposite. With this gem, you learn even more vocabulary BUT, and this is a HUGE difference, Behind the Wheel teaches you to communicate in an ORIGINAL way. In other words, with Learn in Your Car, the creators of the course decided for you in advance what you were to parrot and you say 'Polly want a cracker' when you get the electronic cue. With Behind the Wheel, the creators teach you how to say WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY. No comparison. If they were cars Learn in Your Car would be a cheap Ford. Behind the Wheel Spanish is a Mercedes. - affordable, mediocreI wanted to improve my spanish with this, and I think it did help somewhat. I ripped all the files to my personal music player and listened to them on the commute to work for a few months. These are dull and uncreative lessons - just repetition of words. I must admit that I was sometimes tired on the 6:20 train but still I was disappointed at how often I would space out or fall asleep while listening to these. They were so inexpensive that I think I got my money's worth, but now I found out my local library has the superior pimsleur course on many languages, and there are many free online resources, and I will use those for future language learning.
