review cd.......2007-10-01
I spend a lot of time in my car and now I can do someting productive while I sit in traffic.
Behind the Wheel Spanish.......2007-09-30
This is a detailed product that has made it easier for me to learn Spanish than what I have experienced through either formal classes or other products. I would recommend it to my friends.
Fun and Powerful.......2007-07-15
This course is a powerhouse course for learning spanish. So much useful vocabulary and conversational skills are covered in this course it is mind blowing. Mark's strategy is to use variable repetition to build a solid base on which to learn spanish and that magic is working on me. Mark has a solid sense of which words, phrases, sentence structures etc. are most used by english and spanish speaking folks alike, and he pounds them home till they become second nature.
It's all here, not just sentence building, but how to say the time, the days of the week, count into the millions, talk about the weather and a million other daily kinds of stuff humans around the world talk about or use in thier language on a daily basis.
Mark has made an excellent tool for learning Spanish available, it is now up me, the learner, to decide how far and how fast I want to utilize it.
In such a short while I am speaking in rudimentary ways to my Spanish friends, and they are stunned at my progress knowing that -truly- the extent of my Spanish was "adios" before beginning this course.
I hope that helps some of you decide.
all the best
Extremely Helpful.......2007-07-09
I am engaged to a Spanish man, who's entire family speaks Spanish most of the time. Using this program has really helped me get started on learning the language. Now when I am at family gatherings, I find myself understanding the gist of the conversations going on. I haven't finished the program yet, but I recommend this to anyone who wants to learn Spanish and has a long commute to work or spends a lot of time on the road.
Very Pleased!.......2007-07-04
I'm still on disk 1, but so far can say that I am well pleased. Pronunciation is clear and the lessons are very easy to follow. I'm looking forward to learning more spanish with these lessons.

Nice follow up to Behind the Wheel Spanish I.......2007-06-27
Behind the Wheel Spanish I blew me away. I'm an intermediate to advanced Spanish speaker with a big gringo accent. The Level I was so amazing that this Level II program didn't impress as much. Still, the practical application of this program is solid. The variety of words and verb conjugations presented is outstanding. Overall this program is still definitely a 5 star rating.
Best Spanish Learning Program Ever!.......2007-05-17
This is an awesome product! I have both Behind the Wheel Spanish I and II and they have helped me learn so much Spanish! I am so much more confident to speak Spanish with native Spanish speakers because of these c.d.'s. They're interesting and the simple way they explain Spanish grammar and sentence structure is amazing. I teach English as Second Language and I'm learning how to teach English better using their simple and effective approach!
Works pretty well.......2007-01-12
For the most part, this was beginning/intermediate. The male voice was great, but the female voice sometimes spoke to fast and didn't enunciate and I couldn't understand, not even if I went back. I've picked up a great deal, however, and the repetition is necessary.
CDs are great.......2007-01-09
The only problem I have had with these tapes is that the seem to have a skip or something and I didn't notice it until I got to it (the 3rd or 4th CD in the set). By then it was really too late to return them. However, for the most part I don't have a lot of problems with them and I do like the lessons.
Excellent Vocabulary Builder for the Intermediate to Low Advanced Student.......2006-04-02
As the editor of the Learning Spanish Products Reviews (LearningSpanishProductsReviews) site, one of my responsibilities is to review learning-Spanish resources that are listed on Amazon. I am also a native Spanish speaker and a professional private Spanish instructor.
Like Learn In Your Car Spanish, Behind the Wheel Spanish 2 is a course that allows the user to learn while driving or performing another activity. However, I undoubtedly prefer this course over Learn In Your Car Spanish for several reasons. First of all, each CD begins with a 'pronunciation guide" to assist the student in proper pronunciation. Secondly, the CDs also have numerous short stories or short dialogs that are read by a native speaker. By listening to these short stories or short dialogs, the student is able to quickly improve her listening comprehension. Thirdly, the narrator instructed the native speaker to explain to the student when words varied from one country to another. One example, the native speaker told the word for "bus station" as it is said in most of Latin America as well as Mexico.
Lastly, the native speakers vary the speed of their speech. You will hear the native speakers speak at a pace slightly slower than normal speech so that you can emulate the native speaker and develop proper pronunciation. But you will also hear the native speakers speak at normal speed to improve your listening comprehension and to also prepare you for actual conversation.
Another positive point to this course is that you will learn a huge amount of vocabulary. If you are an intermediate to low advanced student and you are looking to expand your vocabulary, Behind the Wheel Spanish Level 2 will leave you quite pleased with the vocabulary that you have learned.

Customer Reviews:
Geared for a traveler...........2007-09-24
The value of what you are getting for the price with this set is incredible. There are 11 total discs including the introduction, 8 lessons discs and 2 bonus discs. It includes 3 books (1 for each level) and a case to carry it all in.
The format is good, with English words and phrases followed by a pause then 2 Spanish repetitions each followed by a pause. This gives you a chance to test yourself after the English when you think you've learned and the chance to practice either learning or pronunciation after each of the Spanish.
The books are great, because if you learn like me, they have exactly the same lessons in written format so you can follow along or confirm what you have heard in writing. This has cleared up some pronunciation issues for me.
My only regret with this set, is that the order of the lessons seems to be geared for someone who needs to learn words and phrases a traveler would need first. There are some basics first and then immediately, on the first disc, the lessons go into transportation, hotel, currency, and many other travel related words and phrases. Because you are also being taught some basics and conjugation of verbs at the same time, you really can't skip these sections and come back to them later, or you will miss some of the basics that will be built upon later. So...long story short, as someone who will not be travelling who wants to learn Spanish to help at work and getting along in society, it has frustrated me that I cannot use a lot of what I am learning so far. I can ask where the bus, train, train station, airport and taxi are. I can ask for a one way ticket, how to get a taxi from the airport, and how to get the train from Madrid to Paris, but I can't yet ask for 2 pounds of chicken at the local Mexican grocery store that I frequent.
So...you'll need to be patient. I do like that they alternate a man and woman doing the English and Spanish and then vice versa on the next lesson. This exposes you to different pronunciations and voices and keeps the boredom at bay.
I do recommend this set as a starter, but I will also be buying another to see if I can find something better.
Muy Bueno!.......2007-09-12
I love these CDs and highly recommend them. They are so helpful with conversational Espanol. I've learned so much!
Great set..........2007-08-12
A must have for the busy person who needs to learn another language in a short period of time...
Good Value for cost.......2007-08-09
I've taken 2 yrs of high school Spanish so this was a great refresher.
It has been about 15yrs since I was in high school. If someone is trying to learn by JUST a cd set; it is pretty unrealistic. You should also be using books as a supplemental since most people learn by hearing and seeing. I am happy with this cd set though because it is very much like listening to a teacher in class and for very little cost.
Agreed. Behind the Wheel Spanish is Much Better.......2007-07-01
After being told that I was going 'south of the border' in just two weeks for business, my attention turned to the fastest way to learn Spanish, which I knew nothing of.
I used everything from cheap and small 'cheat sheet' style books like
1001 Most Useful Spanish Words. These helped.
I also used a great verb reference by a guy named Kendris entitled
'501 Spanish Verbs'.
I bombed with a cours called 'Spanish for Dummies' where the dummy was me for buying the course.
Learn in Your Car seemed like a natural for me, since I am constantly in my car. The problem is that the course didn't really teach me to 'communicate' in Spanish. It did help me somewhat though, thus the three star rating.
The two best courses I used and still use are 'Behind the Wheel Spanish CDs' and 'Converational Spanish in Nothing Flat', both by Language Dynamics. These guys really teach to how to speak and undertand Spanish fast an I learned enough in two weeks to communicate.Behind the Wheel Spanish/Complete Illustrated Text/Answer Keys/8 One Hour

Customer Reviews:
Truly Awful.......2007-08-06
I purchased the CD version, and really can't believe the CD interface does not go with the units in the book. One must guess as to which track goes with which chapter. This makes it almost impossible to easily pick-up where one leaves off. This is such a simple concept to master for someone creating a CD/Book combination, it simply is amazing that they didn't take the care to make navigation with the CD and book easier.
The language progression is mish-mash at best. All in all, I could use this book without the CD altogether, but the book itself seems to follow no logical progression.
There are plenty of good books and programs out there, please don't waste your money and time (as I did) on this poorly constructed program.
Teach yourself Spanish.......2007-06-27
I needed a way to brush up on my Spanish since I started learning Spanish in the 3rd grade. I just wanted to keep up with the language. I was always better in Spanish than English in High School. Product arrived in excellent condition.
Shoulda bought another .......2007-02-21
I've had Spanish in high school 20 years ago so some stuff is familiar. I was hopintg to learn how to conjugate verbs, numbers, and simple stuff. But this starts out as if you know the language and have p;roblems speaking it. I'd have rather purchased Spanish for Dummies.
Teach Yourself Spanish Complete Course (book + CD pack).......2007-01-27
The CD's begin by asserting that the course can be used at home, in the office or car. Yet the recording constantly refers the student to follow in the text. Try it while driving, a challenge if not frustrating, to say the least. And without the text to read & follow (while driving), one is quickly lost & confused. That precious time while driving is critical to me because I am just too busy otherwise. So, I hit STOP/REJECT & listen to the news (in English). Further, the CD constantly refers the listener to "Practice by going over this again". And then the CD does not go over it again, but merely continues with Spanish conversation unintelligible & too fast for the beginner
My son gave me for Christmas "Eyewitness Travel 15-Minute Latin-American Spanish, a complete course with book and two 60-Minute CD's". By comparison, this course is much, much better, more elementary in the beginning & more methodical.
learning spanish as second language.......2007-01-13
a good text for beginners. Using it in conjunction with a beginner class. The CD is helpful; however, the speakers talk quite fast

Book Description
Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03
Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.
Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19
Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.
Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09
There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.
For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.
Very Interesting.......2007-03-07
It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.
History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10
Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.
I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.
Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.
Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.
I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.
This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Repaso.......2007-09-27
I purchased this text book for my sixth grader to use with a private Spanish teacher. It is a very comprehensive and well compiled textbook. It covers all necessary topics (grammar, reading/comprehension & writing) in a organized and easy to understand format.
Great learning Tool.......2005-11-09
As a Spanish 2 and 3 teacher I highly reccomend this book. I use it as a reference myself because it has great explanations and the order of the grammar structures is useful. I would reccomend getting an answer key along with the book. This is a great book to refresh your memory on grammatical structures.
I am glad I bought this book!
Un Repaso Perfecto.......2005-08-26
Repaso was used as my school textbook for higher level Spanish courses in high school. Everything is great about it. The instructions are in English which makes it even more compatable. The book is able to review old concepts, but has enough to teach the little proper things about Spanish. It is a great purchase for any student that is just learning Spanish or has been taking it for many years and needs a reference.
No Answers Given Here.......2003-09-27
Although I agree that this book is certainly a bargain when compared to the standard textbook options that often cost 3-4 times as much, I was disappointed to find that no solutions to the exercises are provided. One must purchase ANOTHER book before the exercises in this book can really be said to be useful. I am a firm believer in immediate correction when it comes to language review and acquisition--spending time on exercises without knowing which you did wrong will only reinforce what are your misunderstandings of grammar. However, if you are willing (and able) to buy the solutions manual along with this book, then it will make a good review--though it won't be the bargain that it at first appeared.
The most complete review around!.......2002-06-25
If you had Spanish in high school but it's been a while since you've used it,then this is the perfect book for you! It begins with the simple present tense then progresses to the more complicated preterite and subjunctive. At the end of the book you will find interesting cultural tidbits to enhance your experience of learning the Spanish language. Have fun!

sayHola dot com likes this book............2007-09-24
Our online course at SayHola dot com teaches you how to speak the Spanish Language but this book is a great tool for practicing and building Vocabulary. We recommend it.
Great Supplementary Learning Tool.......2007-05-18
First let me clarify by saying that if I could have given this 4 and 1/2 stars, I would have; it's ALMOST worth 5 stars, but not quite.
This book is an excellent learning tool if you already have a little bit of experience with Spanish going in. I bought it to use during a year off from school so I wouldn't forget the Spanish I had learned in my 100-level courses in college. If you do the exercises conscientiously and make an effort to really learn the material, this book can be an invaluable tool to your success in doing so.
That said, the only thing preventing the book from receiving 5 stars is that if you have no prior knowledge of Spanish, it can be a bit confusing going in, as the author completely separates the sections on verbs from those on nouns, adjectives, pronouns, etc. This is an okay idea, but it makes it difficult to complete some of the exercises in the earlier chapters if you don't already know how to use the more basic components of a Spanish sentence.
Still, I more than recommend this book, especially if you just want to brush up on Spanish you learned a long time ago and have since forgotten.
Good but too hard for beginners.......2007-05-07
I purchased this book hoping it would be basic enough to use. Unfortunately, it wasn't, but it will be useful as my Spanish ability improves. Since I am still a beginner in Spanish, I do not have enough vocabulary and grammar background to fully utilize this book now. I think it will be exactly what I need when I become a high beginner or low intermediate Spanish learner. It contains in-depth explanations and many examples. There are also many practice questions to put the new material to use.
Pretty good Spanish grammar book but . . ........2007-04-18
I rate this grammar book as very good. The most positive thing that I can say about this
book is that it is extremely comprehensive. It covers virtually every major topic of
Spanish grammar that a person learning Spanish needs to master. The only Spanish grammar book
that I found that was more thorough than this book is the Ultimate Spanish Review and
Practice. I did find the illustrative examples in this book beneficial, including the
fill-in exercises. But I didn't find the exercises in this book quite as useful as the
exercises in the Ultimate Spanish Review and Practice. With that said, I still recommend
this book as very good resource to learn Spanish grammar.
The only bad thing that I can say about this book is that it is not quite as good as the
other "Practice Makes Perfect" books (i.e. Spanish Verb Tenses and Spanish Pronouns and
Prepositions.) The format of the other two "Practice Makes Perfect" books makes them more
user friendly and easier to read on the eyes. This book would have been more helpful if it
had been written in the same format. In the future, I would like to see the publisher make
a revised version of this book using the exact same format that this publisher used for
Spanish Verb Tenses and Spanish Pronouns and Prepositions.
If you are the type that prefers to learn Spanish from an audio course instead of a book
then I'd recommend Learning Spanish Like Crazy. They use a natural-learning method that
helps you learn the Spanish grammar without realizing that you are learning Spanish
grammar. It's a lot like how learn grammar as a child. You can actually use both
resources together, this book (or the Ultimate Spanish Review and Practice) with Learning
Spanish Like Crazy audio course in order to accelerate your learning.
No problems, exactly what I wanted.......2007-04-04
This is exactly what I was looking for to help my practice my Spanish skills and prepare for my college class.

Unlike other guides that make no distinction between levels of difficulty, this book introduces essential grammar concepts in a progressive manner.
Customer Reviews:
not recieved.......2007-10-03
I have not recieved this product, charged to my credit card about 6 weeks ago, estimated by shipper to arrive Sept 4, it's now Oct 3 and no book. E-mailed Amazon but no answer to the e-mail, just this undoubtedly machine generated message inviting comments. OK there it is. Are we going to deep-six our society in automation?
excellent review.......2007-06-13
I have studied and read this book as well as taken the course taught by the author. I have found this method of learning medical Spanish to be highly effective. I immediately was able to connect and communicate more effectively with my patients that speak Spanish only. I recommend this book to any medical professional that wishes to communicate more clearly with their Spanish speaking patients. All it takes is a little effort!!!
Solid medical dictionary.......2007-05-13
This is a solid medical dictionary that even has sections about folk and herbal remedies and cultural recommendations for folks from various backgrounds in the Spanish-speaking world. I highly recommend it, espcially as a companion to other online, disc-based or live Spanish instruction. The sections are well organized by medical discipline or symptoms and covers terms the medical or helping professional is most likely to run across.
Perfect!.......2007-01-08
This book is exactly what I hoped for!
If you are a fairly intelligent, motivated learner who wants to start with the basics, progress quickly to the conversational level, and get a good grasp of grammar while learning medical words and phrases, this is the book for you.
I am now almost halfway through the book, and I have learned grammar, vocabulary, all the body parts I could ever need, and even slang words!
Another thing I like is that terms used in different parts of the Spanish-speaking world are discussed, so you will know which word to use, depending where you are (or where your patient is from).
Each chapter is broken down into sections. Each section starts with some vocabulary (and an accompanying picture). Then there might be a grammatical discussion or a discussion of how to talk about taking pills. Then there are some exercises (this is the only thing I think there could be more of, but you can always make up your own sentences for practice).
What this book is not: It is not a list of medical phrases that you have to memorize. That has been my experience with every other medical Spanish book... if that is what you are looking for, you are better off with a CD. However, I doubt you will really become conversational after memorizing a bunch of phrases.
It also is not great about helping you with pronounciation. However, you probably know 100 other people who speak Spanish, so just ask one of them to go through your vocabulary with you!
Bottom line: a perfect book for nurses, NP's, PA's, MD's who want to communicate better with their patients.
Disappointing.......2006-08-27
Thought this book included the CDs. . .it appears you can't get the complete set anywhere, even from the publisher. Sorry, but reading pronunciations in a book just doesn't cut it.

Product Description
Finally, a multi-level multi-track CD course for Behind the Wheel Spanish which requires no reading and which teaches you to actually speak beginning to advanced level Spanish quickly and easily and with a minimum of time and effort. Designed by the experts at Language Dynamics, 'Spanish Behind the Wheel Complete' takes you, the learner from beginning to advanced level Spanish without the guesswork and pain usually associated with language learning. An expert English speaking instructor talks you through these multi-track CDs in English while a variety of male and female trained professional native Spanish speakers teach you Spanish the way it is really spoken. Native Spanish speakers judge the overall quality of your Spanish by your ability to correctly speak in the past, present and future tenses as well as by your ability to use common everyday expressions. The problem with most methods is that they use a long and tedious GRAMMATICAL APPROACH to teaching you the subjunctive and other complex forms of the Spanish language and most never even get around to teaching common folk expressions. Language Dynamics once again takes the foreign out of language and teaches you to use the most simple to the most complex language structures and expressions NATURALLY, QUICKLY and EASILY while at home, in the gym,shopping or simply behind the wheel in the security and comfort of your own car. No formal grammar is presented and you learn to speak authentic Spanish the way the natives speak it. You learn naturally like you learned English as a child. 'Spanish Behind the Wheel Complete' is the ideal way to master the Spanish language while you drive because there is no confusion, no reading, no looking up meanings, and no guessing. It's all on the CDs. Use your commute time to effectively learn beginning to advanced level Spanish with this delightful course whose method will have you speaking authentic Spanish within minutes of receiving your course, and enjoying it.

Very happy with purchase.......2007-05-19
I know quite a bit of spanish, but this is a great way to get up to speed in a "brainless" way. I put it on every morning on the way to work and get my spanish lesson for the day in a no-stress way. It also gives you something to focus on other than traffic!
Excellent Course and Production.......2007-03-25
From the crystal clear voices to the multi-track system, this three level course is a joy to use and is fabulously effective.
My course covers levels 1 through 3 and does so in a most entertaining and pleasant fashion.
I already have a book from the Behind the Wheel 1 course, even though the tapescript doesn't follow this course.
My opinion is that you truly get a lot of 'bang for the buck' with this course because you get a substantial amount of instruction in all three levels.
Additionally, this course is an original. I say this because I own and am currently using all the Behind the Wheel Spanish courses I can find.
I love them and am learning to quickly speak Spanish fluently thanks to them.
One bit of advice.
If you truly want to learn all the details of the language in depth and avoid redundancy, then I do recommend you buy all three levels of Behind the Wheel Spanish.
If, however, you wish to have an integrated format with all three levels at once (without a book, mind you) and get a break in the overall cost,
then this course is definitely for you.
This is going to take some time.......2007-03-24
I think learning Spanish or any language with a busy 40-year old brain will take some time. Most of my Spanish practice is from Spanish Behind the Wheel during my commute (30 miles in a car each way). Within the first three tracks I have 400 sentences which I can make by learning "I like", "I want", "I'm going to" and then a set of infinitives such as "to speak", "to work", "to travel". The weaknesses are in the production. The tracks do not break on lessons or in any logical place so going back to review the months of the year is somewhere in the middle of other things. The instuctor sometimes sounds like he's reading off a sheet. I really doesn't detract from the learning but it is a little funny. My next steps? take what I'm hearing in the car and practice - with people, flashcards, etc. It will take a bit more than just Spanish Behind the Wheel to become good but it's further along than I've gotten before because the time is there. I'm going to be in that car, going to and from work, five days a week, and I may as well use part of that time to accomplish something I've wanted to do for a long time!
My First Try.......2007-03-11
I've been saying I wanted to learn Spanish for a long time. I finally did some research on what CD programs were good for learning while driving. Behind the Wheel Spanish got some good reviews so I bought it.
I listen to the CDs every chance I get when in my car and I run it on my PC at work playing in the background. At first, it seemed overwhelming. I didn't think I was picking it up. But I stuck with it. I'd listen to the CD and constantly replay parts repeatedly. After a couple weeks I started seeing progress and realized I was absorbing the lessons. I'm up to the sixth CD currently. I've been using them for over 4 months, so it does take some effort on the part of the learner.
I don't have Spanish speakers to interact with so I'm sure that slows my learning.
I also didn't get the book that I thought was part of the program with the package from Amazon. So I bought an English/Spanish travel dictionary that is very helpful.
If I had any criticism it would be the tracks on the CD don't seem to match any particular spot in the lesson so backing up tracks to replay a section is a little difficult.
This is a good program. I'd like to find a good conversational Spanish program to move onto next.
