Title: Not a very good course for true beginners.
Review: I was very disappointed with this audio cassette course. Thank goodness, I had already successfully completed a full semester of Basic Spanish at a community college. Otherwise, I would have been completely lost. The book is basically useless and the cassette tapes are not much better. There are a lot of vocabulary drills, however, the book fails to identify the translation of the majority of these words in English. I understand the drills are intended to enhance your vocabulary, but you have no idea what you're saying in Spanish. A lot of the phrases are repeated in reverse order and I clearly don't understand the purpose behind that. I also feel the grammer drills are too advanced for a true beginner and fail to provide you with the basics for real life situations.
