Compared with other courses I have used in the past, Speed Spanish has been the most effective at getting me to understand and to quickly speak the practical basics in Spanish.I love the informal 'interview style' teaching approach which is much warmer and less rigid than the standard mechanical approaches that bore one to tears. I also love the fact that English is given first, followed by two nice repetitions in Spanish.The pace of the course is quite fast and thus the name'Speed Spanish'. This is the course to buy if you really want to learn Spanish quickly and without the hassle.
