Perfect

2008-09-04
This audio set is perfect! So straight forward and easy to learn from! Love that is has something visual to look at while you listen too. Not that you have to be looking at the book that comes with it, but it is nice to see it as well as hear it!

Great to get you up and speaking

I have tried numerous language programs each with different approaches to learning. Each of these have their pros and cons. Speak in a week, if you can dedicate time everyday, does just that. It got me up and conversational quickly. I liked the format and the conversation focus. The first week was easily completed in a week and provided some necessary basics. Each subsequent week was a little more challenging and therefore a little difficult to complete in a week. If you have the necessary time this would also be obtainable. The content of each week is useful and I always felt like I was making good progress and learning useful aspects of the language for use in day to day conversation.

the best

This course is very productive,interesting and fun. I am a teacher(of Russian language), and I would recommend "Spanish: Speak in week" to everybody
who is interested in learning a foreign language in an interesting and easy way.This course doesn't have a lot of exercises which is a very important aspect in learning a foreign language,so i would recommend to complete it with some other books which offer writing exercises.
Good Luck to everybody!
P.S.:it took me few weeks to complete the first week set(i couldn't study every day, so this is an approximate time people who have jobs and families and can't study every day will need to complete the first week set). I am sure the next 3 weeks will take a little bit longer because of the complexity.

The basics and beyond.

This series is great. I started as a total beginner, and can now communicate with Spanish speaking people very well. Weeks one, two, and three will teach you a lot of the basics and once you get to week four you'll be speaking quite a bit of Spanish. Beyond the main grammar lessons, there are also lists of useful vocabulary, expressions, and conjugations of irregular verbs in various tenses. You'll see that by the end of week four you'll know how to say some pretty advanced stuff. Just be aware, unless you're spending 8 hours a day on the Speak in a Week, it's going to take you a lot longer than 4 weeks. Also, if you're trying to learn exclusively in your car, this probably isn't the right package for you. I found that learning the grammar rules using the book and then testing myself with the cd was the best method for me.

Spanish cd/book

2008-05-18
This set was a great value!! The books that come with the set are perfect, especially for me because I had a lot of brushing up to do on my Spanish. The audio cd is not much help and is a little fast-paced for me. I could do without it. Overall I would definitely recommend it.

Love this box set

Easy-to-carry, easy-to-use and fun! A simple, straightforward four-week course in Spanish! You'll be fluent in no time! No bulky books!

An audio CD provides native pronunciation of all material presented plus Mastery Exercises for comprehensive review.

Spanish in a Week, I don't think so.

2007-11-12
I guess it is a good CD and guide book. I learnt a few phrases, but I can't speak Spanish.

Nice format to learn

2007-11-01
Had some past knowledge of Spanish so this is a nice review. Can't say I am fluent after 4 weeks but it is easy to spend time in the car with this format.

Great for parents who want to teach Spanish

2007-10-14
As a teacher and adviser, I recommend this to all the parents who want their young children to learn Spanish - after listening to this for a week and working through the book work just a bit, the parents always have more confidence to lead their own students through Flip Flop Spanish: Ages 3-5: Level 1 and other workbooks for kids.

Learning a language yourself is the best way to ensure success in your child's endeavors! This is a wonderful basis, especially for the investment. Four stars only, because not everything is as well-explained as I would hope, but that's to be expected in a product that is sort of "crash-course" in methodology. Also good for those who like to jump right in!

Well made product

Well made product. Difficulty progresses quickly in the audio discs but can be taken at one's own pace. The read along material is helpful in the continued direction of pronunciation as well as includidng alternative phrases for certain occasions.
