Title: Excellent learning tool but limited content
Product review: This is probably the best CD for listen-and-learn-in-your-car I've tried, and I've tried a bunch of them. The exercises are interesting, the tracks are usably short, and a continuing story line holds interest. The accompanying book has not only complete transcripts but additional grammar explanations and a vocabulary index.But what a pity there is so little overall content! It's geared to travel situations but there isn't a lot of vocabulary. Furthermore, the Spanish is Castilian (the kind spoken in Spain, not Latin America), which limits its use. The narrators have British English acdents which may pose a problem for some, though it didn't for me.If the course had about twice the vocabulary I'd rate it five stars. As it is, I consider it a wonderful introduction to Spanish and quite easy to use in your car.
