Publisher's summary
Finally you have a real opportunity to truly leap toward fluency in Spanish with this amazing new approach to language teaching called Automatic Fluency. It comes with a complete word-for-word audio script called Automatic Fluency which is full of cutting-edge strategies to improve and accelerate your language learning experience.
Still not convinced? Please remember this. None of the language programs out there that you've been using are really focusing on fluency. Even the best language programs are pattern rich but vocabulary and memory poor. They're focusing on making you feel good, and you go away speaking a couple of sentences that you may later forget entirely.
I have a better system. A superior approach. It's called Automatic Fluency®. Using my Automatic Fluency® programs does not guarantee fluency, but it does guarantee you the best fluency-building training in the industry. Yes. Only my Automatic Fluency® programs have the added advantage of real fluency building with vocabulary-rich memory-rich simplicity. They're all audio for maximum learning flexibility, all programs teach the same high-frequency language that native speakers use, and all use my original spaced memory repetition that allows you to use your own creativity while enhancing your language memory. Just as important, only my Automatic Fluency® programs teach you more than enough high-frequency vocabulary to truly build fluency and enough interval memory practice to really make it stick.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

What did you love best about Automatic Fluency Spanish/Complete Tapescript and Free Ebook/Level 1/Program 1 (English and Spanish Edition)?
In a few words, I'll try to describe my experience with Automatic Fluency Spanish I program 1 of I think 20 programs. Basically 8 hours of Spanish, all translated English Spanish. Goes fast, very fast. But the beginning of the program explains the concept of the Automatic Fluency approach or system or whatever they call it. In a nutshell, they want you to listen to a lot of Spanish, then practice it for memory and accent, then review it, use it, create with it out loud, etc... My impressions from the 2 weeks ago when I started the program to now is that nothing compares with this in terms of real fluency training. I say that because I have learned to speak and understand more Spanish from these past two weeks than in a lifetime of studying the language. The narrator says that the problem with most Spanish programs is that they are "pattern rich and vocabulary poor". Even though I initially felt overwhelmed with new vocabulary, I have to admit that he's right. I would never achieve fluency with the other programs and classes I have used. However, I do feel that I could definitely become fluent with this approach. Here's why I think it works so well:
1. So much vocabulary is presented that some of it is bound to stick. Some is easy, other parts are hard, but some you remember immediately. So if you throw 100 eggs blindfolded at a target instead of just one egg, your bound to hit the target more often. I think this might be how we all learned English. We are immersed in it and then we learn faster.
2. After the presentation of vocabulary spoken very nicely by native speakers, you are immediately taken into exercises that EXPLAIN the vocabulary, break it down, put it back together, and have you use it all in speaking and comprehension practice.
3. Just when you think you're out of the woods and they'll leave you alone for awhile, you are required to REMEMBER what you learned, use what you learn, practice what you learn. At this point, you haven't learned one single grammar rule, but you are already speaking the language somehow.
4. The system continues with different native speakers and Mark explaining everything in English so you understand. Some of the speakers talk very fast, others slow. Some are male, others are female, and there is some conversation. Real variety.
5. Out of the box creativity and mind-blowing learning expereince. My bottom line on this first program (I haven't even seen Program 2 of this series anywhere on Amazon or Audible yet) is that it will take me a month or so more just to review it enough to feel satisfied that I have extracted enough of this great Spanish material to move on to the next program. It is absolutely amazing to hear yourself speak so much Spanish from one day to the next as you build fluency. The difference between this program and say Pimsleur is night and day. Pimsleur is like horse cart and Automatic Fluency is like a rocket in terms of learning speed. In terms of vocabulary I would say Pimsleur puts you on a starvation diet while Automatic Fluency is an all-you-can-eat buffet. Buy it. It's great.

The Very Best
I needed this program to jump start my Spanish. I get this approach. You don't try to be perfect and you just skip the stuff you think is too hard. The ebook that comes with the program explains a lot about how to learn a language and build fluency, and that's what I'm doing. Great course. Best I've tried by far.

Best Spanish Language Instruction!
I've recently purchased your language instruction program on Audible and found it tremendously useful in preparing for a trip to Mexico. I’ve tried Pimsleur, Michel Thomas, Rosetta Stone (the worst), Paul Noble (quite good), but none come even close to the efficiency of this language program. I think I’ve learned, absorbed, most importantly, retained more in 2 hours than all the other programs combined. All other programs are pattern rich, vocabulary poor; whereas this program is vocabulary rich and allow me to construct phrases quickly and confidently.
I'm so excited and having so much fun learning Spanish that I want to get ready for the next level. I feel the most beneficial effect of your language program is that I'm excited and confident to practice Spanish with others.Thank you so much again.

Amazing - Really Works
It's too early to tell about fluency, but I can say that I'm speaking and understanding tons more Spanish. The comprehensible input part and the massive vocab approach seems daunting, but works because some of it always sticks. The original sentence stuff is cool and I really appreciate having Mark chime in and explain everything. Lots of different and beautiful native speaking voices in Spanish at different speeds and with different accents. Spanish speaking friends say they're amazed at how well I'm speaking, even using expressions, idioms, etc ... Amazing program and I'm delighted. Their website at Automatic Fluency is also great.

The Best Language Learning Program!
My daughter (very fluent, attended college in MX) was astounded and asked if I was reading Google translate when I was speaking to her in Spanish. She knew I could never speak intelligent sentences previously. Naturally, I beamed as it was from my brain! She was beyond impressed at what I had learned in just a week.

good for drills
some of the words feel incorrect. Like to order is pedir but they use another word for it and also you would say UN poco instead of poquito...
