Title: Disappointed
Review: I read all the positive reviews concerning this product and was very hopeful that I could learn quite a bit of Spanish by listening to the CD's. However, I have found that the material is presented in a manner which doesn't facilitate recalling what you have heard. There is an English speaker saying a word or phrase in English, than a pause, and then a Spanish speaker repeats the word or phrase in Spanish. From that point, you move on to the next phrase, etc. What I find lacking in the program is any "situational" role plays where you are placed in a scenario as Spanish speaker and given the opportunity to "interact" as you would if you were in a situation to really use Spanish. This type of role play would help to recall what Spanish you have been introduced to in the program, and subsequently recalling the Spanish when you really need to use it. Basically, this program is just hearing and repeating an unbelievable amount of words and phrases.
