Title: Spanish with a French Accent
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed Michel Thomas's intro French cd's. The Spanish set was a huge disappointment. Unlike an earlier reviewer, I think there is an advantage to real students making real mistakes. We can learn from their mistakes - many of which we might have made ourselves. The annoying thing is that Michel Thomas makes his students repeat their responses 3,4 or even 5 times because they are not pronouncing the Spanish words with a French accent. The listener has to sit by and endure the tedium of the repitition and the lecturing about the students' mistakes. Most of this should have been edited out.Michel Thomas Speak Spanish For Beginners: 10-CD Beginner's Program (Michel Thomas Speak...)I played a bit of one of these cd's for some Costa Rican friends who were hysterical listening to the Michel's accent. Not a purchase I would recommend to others.
