Amazon.com Audiobook Review:
Look ma, no textbooks! The Learn in Your Car series treats you like a child--in the best possible way--starting with one-word phrases ('please,' 'good-by'), counting exercises, and simple nouns ('bus,' 'train') designed to imitate a child's learning process. First you hear the words in English, then they are repeated slowly in clear, unaccented pronunciations. The method is extremely effective for those who don't know a thing, or for those who want to brush up by testing themselves when the English words are spoken. The tapes emphasize the building blocks of communicating in a foreign country rather than rote phrases that only apply on the tape and not in real-life exchanges. Level 1 painlessly covers basic verb forms, essential prepositions, near future and past tenses, as well as shopping, hotel reservations, and other travel-related situations. The series includes French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish in three levels that can be purchased individually or in boxed sets. Each individual level contains two 90-minute cassettes (or CDs) and an accompanying booklet (not for use behind the wheel) with helpful explanations and scripts for the lessons.

Rating:  - Do Not Purchase
This is not a tutorial at all. This is just 2 people saying words in English and Spanish. This is horrible for someone who doesn't know Spanish at all. I am highly disappointed in this product.
Rating: - Save your money!
This is probably the worst set of tapes I have ever listened to. It's no more than a list of words on one set of tapes and some verb conjugations on the other set. While I couldn't bring myself to complete the tapes they were so boring, I don't think they ever used the words in context. I bought the advanced level and it was anything but that. At least a third of the vocabulary were cognates that any beginner or intermediate student would recognize anyway. This is a huge waste of anyone's money.
Rating: - I ordered CDs, not tapes!!!
Dear Amazon.com:
When I ordered this item, I was sure that I will receive it on CDs, while I received it on tape. Unofrtunately, my car does not have tape recorder, so the item is useles. What could you recommend me to do?

As the editor of the Learning Spanish Products Reviews (LearningSpanishProductsReviews) site, one of my responsibilities is to review Spanish courses that are listed on Amazon. I am also a native Spanish speaker of Argentina and a professional private Spanish instructor.
I will start with the good points of Learn in Your Car Spanish :
1. The course starts with a very thorough overview of how-to-learn-a-language by language-learning guru, Graham E. Fuller. If you are not ... Read More
Rating: - Waste of money
This is a tourist conversation guide , not a learning tool.
Who really wants to know how to say " when is the next train to madrid ?" or "Can i get two tickets to Mexico", no fundamental apporach.
waste of money. And the tapes moves on so fast.. You cant even get it right , unless you rewind it..
