I want to learn to speak fluent Spanish. What software do you recommend?

June 29, 2010 - 1:28 am 2 Comments

I learned basic phrases, words and simple sentences when I studied it in school a few years ago, which I still remember, but I want to learn on my own at home to speak it FLUENTLY. I want to find the best and easiest to learn software (except for really expensive software like Rosetta Stone), something like up to 50.00, or around that, please tell me the best software that I can buy to learn Spanish in the most easy and effective way. I would really appreciate your help.

I was going to say rosetta stone. That’s what I used to learn english. You should check your local library for it, they usually have it.

Should an English people living in Spain learn to speak Spanish?

there is about million english people in spain and they dont speak spanish should they learn? or they should be deported?
x_Nikkyy… not me amigo just "mio amigo"

I think that they should learn ONE OF the Spanish languages – not necessarily Castilian, but the language that is most popularly used in the area where they live. In many areas of Spain, and in certain communities Castilian Spanish is not even widely spoken or understood – http://www.tumbit.com/blogs/541-spanish-regional-languages-for-or-against.html

Which Spanish learning program is better: "Spanish for Dummies All-in-One" or "Learn to Speak Spanish Deluxe"?

June 8, 2010 - 12:56 pm 2 Comments

I can’t decide between the two programs, they’re both about the same price, and both have very good reviews, but I can’t decide which to get. I know nothing about the Spanish language except for "hola". I’m a beginner. Pros and Cons about the two would help. Any suggestions are okay.

Hi,

I would go for Learn to Speak Spanish Deluxe.
It is quite well integrated system with real life dialogues, voice recognition, culture movies, tests and you can set your own personalized Spanish lesson plan + reference book in pdf format. Price is good too.

Just note that this software and Spanish for Dummies both are for learning a very very basic Spanish, like survival phrases for travel. If you are interested to really speak Spanish then you probably need to look for more comprehensive courses.

For example:
Pimsleurs Spanish – audio only, very effective . Can download from internet

Tell Me More Spanish – the most comprehensive course, has everything from beginner to expert, all possible features, less expensive than Rosetta Stone

Rocket Spanish – good program to learn Latin American conversational Spanish. Audio lessons+ games and exercises software. You will get quite a lot for your money.

You can compare these and other most popular Spanish courses side by side at:

Have fun with your learning!
