About this product: "I am finding the Smart Spanish CDs just as effective and enjoyable as the acclaimed Smart French CDs invented by onetime French diplomat Christian Aubert. I can highly recommend either or both." William Martin, ex-political editor, Oakland Tribune "I'm delighted to discover that the people behind SmartFrench are bringing out SmartSpanish, offering in a different language the same brilliantly simple idea executed with the same commitment to excellence... SmartFrench provided me with the key breakthrough, boosting my confidence quickly, and boosting it so dramatically that I was no longer haunted by anxieties about badly accented pronunciation and speech rhythms. I highly recommend the SmartFrench (and SmartSpanish) approach. No matter what other sources you use in your language learning, the Smart thing to do is give yourself this key to confidence." Ian Jackson, CEO Breathplay, inc, Dallas

What is the Pimsleur® difference?
The Pimsleur Method provides the most effective language-learning program ever developed. The Pimsleur Method gives you quick command of Spanish structure without tedious drills. Learning to speak Spanish can actually be enjoyable and rewarding.
The key reason most people struggle with new languages is that they aren't given proper instruction, only bits and pieces of a language. Other language programs sell only these pieces -- dictionaries; grammar books and instructions; lists of hundreds or thousands words and definitions; audios containing useless drills. They leave it to you to assemble these pieces as you try to speak. Pimsleur enables you to spend your time learning to speak the language rather than just studying its parts.
When you were learning English, could you speak before you knew how to conjugate verbs? Of course you could. That learning process is what Pimsleur replicates. Pimsleur presents the whole language as one integrated piece so you can succeed.
With Pimsleur you get:
Grammar and vocabulary taught together in everyday conversation,
Interactive audio-only instruction that teaches spoken language organically,
The flexibility to learn anytime, anywhere,
30-minute lessons designed to optimize the amount of language you can learn in one sitting.
Millions of people have used Pimsleur to gain real conversational skills in new languages quickly and easily, wherever and whenever -- without textbooks, written exercises, or drills.
Conversational Spanish includes the 10 lessons from Pimsleur's Basic Spanish plus an additional 6 lessons.
The 16 lessons in Conversational Spanish are the same first 16 lessons in the Pimsleur Comprehensive Spanish Level 1.
