I was looking forward to reading this third book that was supposed to end the trilogy. Figured it isn't, but I am still disappointed that the story line was very slow paced and even boring at times. I don't really need Roran's stories every other chapter, and the story's getting real predictable. Bo

I love this camera. Opened up, charged battery, put in 4gb SD card, and away I went. I've shot many pictures and videos with it. Videos are so easy and great. My daughter loves viewing them on the camera after taking them. Shots are great. The digital zoom is great as well. Fits in top pocket, take

Which is Better? Behind the Wheel Spanish or Learn In Your Car?
10/11/2008
Alright. Which is better? Behind the Wheel Spanish Behind the Wheel - Spanish 1 (Behind the Wheel) or Learn in Your Car??
The titles sound similar, but the courses are quite different.
I have both and have benefited from both. Of the two, I much prefer Behind the Wheel Spanish. My reasons for this follow:
1. Behind the Wheel Spanish is a much less rigid and more intuitive type of course where you are allowed the freedom to create your own sentences on the first CD and beyond. While Learn in Your Car is great for vocabulary, there is no such feature included.
2. Learn in Your Car uses a 'non-interview' instructional type format which is somewhat reminiscent of your high school language class days. Very structured and a bit geekish.
Behind the Wheel has an English speaking teacher with great native speakers that sort of stroll you through the language. You really never feel like you are in a class, but you are always learning to speak.
3. While I use both courses, I always walk away from even a short session with Behind the Wheel knowing how to say and understand more immediately after my lesson, whereas with Learn in Your Car, the material does not 'stick with me' nearly as fast or as easily.
4. Behind the Wheel has taught me some certifiably cool idioms like 'Me cost?? un ojo de la cara' or 'It cost me an eye out of my face' that all the native Spanish speakers with whom I have spoken have instantly understood. They nearly embrace me when I use these little 'gems'.
Once again, Learn in Your Car doesn't have any of this stuff.
Conclusion: Buy and use both courses, especially if you like variety.
If you only have enough money for one, then by all means purchase Behind the Wheel first. The advantage to using both is that the more rigid structure of Learn in Your Car can be a refreshing (albeit much less effective) change to Behind the Wheel.

good value for the money
10/8/2008
I have been very impressed with the Learn in Your Car Spanish Course. I had three years of Spanish in high school and this brought back and increased my abilities. I'll be leaving for Guatemala in a week for language immersion classes and am confident I will get off to a good start. My car CD player is not what it used to be so I would have prefered to use an ipod to play them.

Spanish in Your Car VS. Learning Spanish Like Crazy Lite
8/30/2008
I am posting the same review under both titles. I have both sets of CD's. They are VERY different from each other. Each has strong & weak points. Which you chose depends on your goals.

Advice:
If you are leaving for a Spanish-speaking country within one month, and if you want to be able to get by and ask "At what time does the last bus leave for the beach?", "Where is the bathroom?", and "The air conditioning does not work.", then buy Learn Spanish in Your Car. No question.
If you have never taken any Spanish in school and do not even know what it means to "congugate a verb", then buy Learn Spanish Like Crazy. No question.
If you know the very basics, and want to build your vocabulary quickly, like for a vacation, buy Spanish in your Car.
If you want a supplement to a Spanish class you are taking or about to take in a classroom setting, buy Spanish Like Crazy.

Summaries:
Learn Spanish in Your Car:
Lots of vocabulary quickly. Travel focused. Does NOT teach verb congugations until far into the course. I took 1 year of Spanish in school 20 yrs ago. If I did not already know that "tengo" and "tiene" are the same root word, I think I would have been fairly lost with this course from the onset. Within a month on commuting, however, I think this course will have you getting by for a vacation. If you care mostly about getting by (directions, time, booking a hotel room, buying a bus ticket), and not about perfect grammar, I like this a lot.

Spanish Like Crazy:
Starts like a Spanish class would in school. You start by congugating -AR verbs. Then you learn questions, "Do you practice Spanish?" and possessive pronouns. The lessons are like drill sessions: "Now ask, 'Is the coat his?' Now answer, 'no, it is not his coat. It is mine.' Now say, 'It is my coat, but the hat is not mine'." Intense, but you'll know the grammar by the end. Vocabular comes later, but it does not seem travel oriented.

I like using them both. However, I have 6 months before my trip to South America.

Good course but can't be used stand alone
7/30/2008
This course is a good complementary for Pimsler's course.
It is build as talking dictionary: English word - Spanish word, with very little
phrases and no conversations.

Good for building up your vocabulary.
6/13/2008
It is fairly difficult to learn only by listening, but these CDs will make a long commute to and from work worthwhile. This set should only be an aid to learning Spanish and I would not recommend it as a single source of learning Spanish. You will have to go through each CD a couple of times to memorize the phrases and vocabulary words. The price makes it affordable.
