I am a member of a small group of senior citizens here in New Mexico who have been studying Spanish for several years (two members were raised in Spanish speaking homes at a time when they were allowed to speak only English in school, thus their Spanish is somewhat rudimentary). Thus, even though I own over 100 Teaching Company courses, I was concerned that this course might be too basic for our group. However, while it has proven to be an excellent review of material we're already familiar with, each session has included things that we either did not know -- or did not understand adequately. The instructor is very engaging and comprehensive in his effort to help students become comfortable actually engaging in spontaneous conversation.

I have used several on line Spanish Courses. They were very helpful, to a point. The on line course helped to have excellent Spanish pronunciation and a good vocabulary. The premise of most on line courses is that you learn language like a child does: by haring and repeating. That works, only to a point for most adult learners. For most of us, we also need a good grounding in grammar (which children do not learn until much later). The Great Courses Spanish I course is taught by a college professor. Be forewarned that if you do not have some Spanish under your belt already, this is going to move very fast and you will probably need to repeat some lessons several times. On the other hand, if you have some fluency in Spanish, this is a great review that will take you to the next level with a good grounding in grammar.Read full review
