With Linguaphone s unique learning Listen, Understand, Speak, you will find yourself actually using the language in no time at all! You are presented with a unit of the language, it is then broken down and explained to you, then you put it back together with greater understanding than just repeating what you may not have understood in the first place.

The allTalk methodology not only teaches well, but will take you to full intermediate level in speaking and understanding spoken Spanish.

[Mel Jackson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This course keeps you really interested in a storyline while doing a great job of teaching you Spanish. It's an audio course so no need to take notes, and you could learn it in the car etc. The 16 CD 2 level version brings you up to intermediate standard. I think it's one of the best ways to learn. Being a Linguaphone creation means it is very cleverly thought through. Also, if you happen upon one of the old cassette versions of Spanish or French from the 70s don't hesitate to give them a try as they were the best and still have an edge on the rest.
