I don't know about you, but when I was in High School, I took French as my foreign language. While I loved the language and how it is the 'Romantic' langauge, I would say that long term I should have taken Spanish. When I was offered the opportunity to review No Work Spanish, I jumped at the chance.
The principal is that you listen to a story in English, then in Spanish. As you hear it repeatedly, you begin to pick up more and more of the language. It's how we all originally learned our first language. I think it's an excellent way to pick up a second (or third or fourth) language.
We've been listening to the stories in the car as we travel to and from appointments. While it's proved a bit too difficult for my 4 and 9 year old, my 13 year old is slowly picking up words. (Great news for me because he starts Spanish at school in the fall.) I think the product is geared more at people who are high school aged and older. But, it can't hurt anyone to be exposed to another language. My 9 year old is picking up bits anad pieces and while the 4 year old doesn't seem to pay attention, I know some is being absorbed. I sort of anticipate her just blurting out some Spanish sentences someday.
You can order both of these books from No Work Spanish for only $21.95--a complete bargain! You can also try it free before you buy.
