Excellent Really Teaches You Spanish

Any additional comments?

I liked the first program so much (Conversational Latin American Spanish 1) that I decided to move up to Conversational Latin American Spanish 2. I'm so glad I did.Awesome memory technique. Great detailed timed repetition that never gets boring.Super good native Spanish speakers from Mexico, Colombia and so forth.Warning: This program is designed for people who really want to converse in authentic Latin American Spanish. It's not just another "feel good" program with a few catchy phrases.It requires practice - which is enjoyable and fun but still requires some discipline.The good news is that it really gets you conversing in Spanish fast.

Nice Job -- Worth the Money

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

You don't listen all in one sitting.You listen to as little or to as much as you want to at one time. You can skip around in the lessons, too.

Any additional comments?

I learned quite a bit of useful Spanish from this program. Some words I already knew but what was most valuable to me about these lessons was the way the speakers said sentences kind of slow at first and then said them again faster at a regular speaking rate. I don’t have much trouble learning new vocabulary words in Spanish but I get tongue tied when I try to speak them, especially several words fast one right after the others. But when the Spanish is all said at a slowed down pace like with this program, and then speeded up, it makes it a lot easier to get used to speaking Spanish like it is really spoken. This teaching process really worked for me and I learned to speak much better Spanish from it.

A lot more than one hour of dialog is given, and the conversation that is presented is long and multi-faceted, but it is fortunately, broken down into digestible bits that can be practiced and understood. This is extremely helpful to the learner who comes in from nowhere and hears a lot of Spanish spoken at native speed that sounds like unintelligible "gibberish" unless it is deciphered and explained.

It might be a little hard for a complete beginner but if you have some Spanish experience in your background, like a semester or two back in school, then you’re probably at the right level for this audio program. Your ability to speak in Spanish will definitely get better fast.

A Few Sentences of Spanish

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would add more Spanish phrases, and delete much of the English repetition such as, "You should have said." Also, don't need to hear Mark explain the purpose of the course more than once. I understood that the course's purpose was to get the English speaker up to speed on a few sentences.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

A couple of the sentences include some nonsense situations. So much repetition is tedious. More sentences and a little less speed. It is doubtful that anyone could become fluent if this much time was necessary to be spent on every Spanish sentence.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

See what I would change in this book above.

Was Conversational Latin-American Spanish 2 worth the listening time?

It was somewhat interesting to get up to speed on a few phrases, since Spanish speakers hablan muy rapido, but the learner is also trying to build vocabulary. It's one tool for the intermediate Spanish student.

Any additional comments?

I do not think this is the way to learn Spanish except for the speed drills. Spanish can be learned by studying courses that give a grammar and vocabulary foundation along with conversation. But, it is ok for demonstrating how speed can be increased with repetition. I think speed can also be increased by practicing all the Spanish that is learned, and the student becomes faster that way rather than just concentrating on a few phrases. I'm now listening to a Speak to Me Book with more vocabulary.

You Remember What You Learn

Any additional comments?

What counts in learning a language, in this case Spanish, is not just fun lessons played once and immediately forgotten. What counts is what you actually can remember and use. The Frobose Memory Technique that is used in Conversational Latin American Spanish 2 is awesome. The spaced interval memory technique ensures that you WILL REMEMBER what you learn. Of course, you must actually expend a little effort on your part, but the system is so seamless that you actually ENJOY the process of learning to speak Spanish conversationally by hearing the real language spoken by natives and then you get to participate over and over until you get it right. Like Language Guy Mark Frobose says in the program “Timed repetition is the mother of fluency”. I agree.

Amazing Effective Real Spanish

First you get hit with real Latin American Spanish (not esoteric Castilian that no one uses) spoken at native speed, with English explanations so you always understand while you learn. Very different from most Spanish programs who make you “guess” at meanings.
With this great approach, you are constantly being “brought back” to the original sentences and convesations until you can you them. You actually get to hear it all spoken slowly, breaking it down piece by piece. Then you get to practice speaking the pieces slowly, much like a child “gets to” practice walking, step by step. Then Mark gradually speeds up the process and has the native speakers speaking more quickly until they’re speaking at a “native pace”. So important to understand while you’re learning and to learn and remember and then to be given the chance to actually “Practice” while you learn. Amazing and effective huge step towards fluency in Spanish.

really pushes you to learn, speak, comprehend

Any additional comments?

I learned to speak a lot of "real" Spanish with this program and the Conversational Latin American Spanish 1 combined. I tried Pimsleur programs and liked them but didn't feel like I was getting enough vocabulary. Frobose's (or Language Audiobook's - whatever) Conversational Latin American Spanish really pushes you to learn, speak, comprehend. Warning: There is repetition. So what? What can you learn without practice? Nothing. I will say that Mark did a great job making the repetition part interesting and fun, and the best part is that it really works.

Excellent Conversations Really Teach to Converse

Any additional comments?

The content and method used in this program are excellent. Several conversations are used and taught for mastery in Spanish conversation.
To dabble in a language is to listen to a lot of material once or twice, and then quit.
To master Spanish conversation, one needs the method used in Conversational Latin American Spanish 2.
Here are what I consider to be the highlights of this program:
1. Great method with memory recall.
2. Great native speaking voices from all over the Spanish-speaking world.
3. Different rates of speed. This is a stroke of genius. Like in English when you hear
"Did you ever go?" sounds one way slow, but when spoken quickly it sounds like
"Jever go?". Same thing in Spanish. This stuff takes real practice, and this program gives it to you.
Bottom Line: If you want a real "let's get down to work and really learn how to speak Spanish" program, then Conversational Latin American Spanish 2 is for you.
If you only want fluff, you don't like to practice, and you don't really care, then please try a different approach, because this one will not appeal to you.

Did I Get That? Yes.

Any additional comments?

I've tried other Frobose Language Audiboooks courses and I really like the way this one is working out for me.
It all sounds like gibberish at first, but then Frobose goes in and says "did you get that?" and I say "heck no are you kidding me?" and then he plays it over slower with the nice native Spanish girls and then you slowly kick it up a notch and learn to speak a s....load of Spanish.
Speeds up gradually and gives you a shot at practicing the hard stuff. Challenging.
Love it.

It's more advanced

Any additional comments?

I received and used Level One Conversational Latin American Spanish by Language Audiobooks Mark Frobose and loved it. I received as a gift Conversational Latin American Spanish 2 at the same time and am using both to learn Spanish for my trip to Peru and Ecuador this summer. I want to totally immerse myself in the Spanish language so I can carry on a decent conversation with my South American friends when I get there.

So far, I would say that Conversational Latin American Spanish 2 is as least as good and maybe better than Conversational Latin American Spanish 1. It's more advanced, obviously. It moves somewhat faster. The native speakers are great (that's what I like the most - real accents back and forth). The best part of the program is where you get to interact with the native speakers in Spanish. You participate as if you were there. Awesome programs.
