Title: No lo recomiendo
Review: I can't be as kind as some of the other reviewers. This course is just awful. The packaging says "At the completion of this course, you will be able to speak and understand Spanish at an advanced level". But this is not true at all. The main focus of this 10-unit course is on conversations related to the publishing industry. There are many words that you are asked to repeat, which were already introduced in the Pimsleur beginner-level courses. How many times do you need to repeat "Vivo en Estados Unidos" before you understand it? Also, I can't imagine why the designers of this course think it's useful, at an advanced level (or any level for that matter), to repeat place names such as "Montevideo, Uruguay" using a Spanish accent. This course may give you the opportunity to practice some of the Spanish you've already learned in earlier courses, but you will learn very little that's useful in the real world, unless you're planning to become an editor, or to write and publish a novel.
Is the review positive or negative?
