meh

its pretty good to become familiar with sentence structure as well as the sounds of the language but its a bit random with some of the content. Some of the phrases I will never say in English let alone Spanish.

Just buy it

Where does Learn in Your Car: Spanish, the Complete Language Course rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the best audible program by far.

What other book might you compare Learn in Your Car: Spanish, the Complete Language Course to and why?

Nothing.

Any additional comments?

I have no idea what people are talking about when they complain about this program. I've used Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone, Frobose and numerous others. And those are good. BUT this is by far the best. IT actually goes through grammar WITHOUT explaining everything in English. Catch on to it or simply go online to get a look at conjugation. I LOVE that that they don't spend the whole time explaining when to use SER vs ESTAR. This isn't your only resource to learn Spanish, but it's a very good one!!!
Here's what I recommend.
( BTW this audible course works much better as a study tool than just listening in the car. You want to be able to pause...think...and then respond)
1. Get a notebook and a blue pen and a red pen.
2. Listen to the English then hit PAUSE
3. In BLUE ink write down quickly your best guess at the correct translation
4. Listen to the correct Spanish translation
5. With RED ink correct your initial translation and add in RED any important notes about the sentence. BUT limit your use of English words and translation..if you know "puerta"is door...no need to write "door".
6. Start each new chapter on a new page. This will make studying the areas you need more work (the pages with more RED) easier to find.
7. Periodically go through your notebook, reviewing any sentence that has RED ink in it.
This technique helps with LISTENING, SPEAKING, WRITING and READING. Just try it!!! FWIW I have a lot of red "para"and "por"in my notebook. Obviously I need to study those more. For that I'll go to the web or other book.

best Spanish video ever!

for me, this has been the best learning tool I've ever used. It requires an intermediate level of pronunciation and vocabulary which is where I am. this may not be for everybody but this is absolutely the best money I've ever spent on a Spanish learning course book audio or video

I flunked out of Spanish class back in '74

And man am I ever paying for it now days.

The ability to use this audio in a -stop and go-format on my phone has been a boon to my ability to commit the language to memory.

One thing to keep in mind, just like the US.....the dialect of Spanish speaking countries is going to have different slang and ways of saying/speaking what is local to their area..even in the US.

This course has helped me work my--Spanglish-- skills a little better to get my point across and understand native Spanish speakers better when their English is broken.

It is a good way to find a half way point in each language when trying to sort thru directions, questions at market places and restaurants down around Miami and over around El Paso....the two places I really find myself needing to be able to at least sort of non-mangle my way thru the language.

I have been able to teach myself certain phrases that aren't mangled....such as asking if the other person speaks English, and understanding common phrases in Spanish.

The PDF that is included is a huge help also in being able to read Spanish not just speak it.

It's a life time book, not a fast read. Don't expect to pick it up and be speaking fluent Spanish 48 hours later.

You need to invest the time but it isn't that hard to do when I listen to is as I go thru my daily rote chores...it is a process like all learning.

And now .....
I get a huge kick out of saying(and writing):

Great resource for learning Spanish on the go!

This audio book is great for learning Spanish while in the car or anywhere when you can just listen to learn without needing to watch a video or read a lesson. If you need to read along with it for more visuals or explanation, then there is a free accompanying PDF guide. But I think the audio is perfect for someone who already has a good grasp on the Spanish alphabet/pronunciation but looking for more practice on grammar and sentence structure.

Great for beginners or those wanting to brush up

Would you listen to Learn in Your Car: Spanish, the Complete Language Course again? Why?

I actually downloaded this on a whim, because I had several Audible credits available and I've been wanting to learn Spanish for a while. I typically just let this play while I am working throughout the day. At times I may pay more or less attention to it. Each time I turn it on I start back at an earlier lesson so that I am getting a lot of repetition. So essentially I haven't really even been giving it a huge amount of focus or effort. However, I now find myself thinking of the Spanish translation for things I see. Also, just yesterday I was working with a Spanish family in a volunteer organization I work for. The daughter was translating what I said into Spanish for her parents. They also were carrying on conversations in Spanish among themselves. While I couldn't follow their conversation 100%, I did find that I understood a lot of what they were saying. Like anything else in life, the extent to which this helps you or not likely depends on your own expectations, perspective and motivation. If you try to listen all the way through without repeating any lessons, and think you'll know Spanish at the end....well good luck to you. If you take their suggestions and go back to review lessons you've already listened to, and give yourself reasonable time expectations, I think this is a good tool for learning at least basic Spanish.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Good for beginners

I was new to Spanish and this book has been good for a beginner. The pdf that comes with it is good and describes some of the grammar but mostly it is listening and repeating to learn. It can be tedious but they did it in a way that is effective. I would recommend getting it to anyone really wanting to learn or wanting to review Spanish.
