Start speaking Spanish with Platiquemos
|
Platiquemos means "Let's Talk!" Learning Spanish can be easier than you think with
Platiquemos. At first, I thought the Spanish course was overwhelming with having to sit and listen to the CDs--I just don't have that kind of time. But then, the lightbulb went on in my head! I figured out that I could wear my portable CD player while I cleaned and cooked. I carried my portable CD player in my purse and slipped on my earplugs while I grocery shopped and ran errands. But that didn’t stop me, I would load my CD in my CD player and listened while I took a shower.
The highly popular Spanish language course is an updated and expanded version of the
Foreign Language Institute Program made for government employees. This means that you can learn Spanish, but you don’t have to learn as a government employee is required--but you learn just the same and you'll be on your way to becoming a fluent Spanish speaker.
Platiquemos is widely considered to be among the best audio tools to help you learn Spanish. This revised edition was made for the serious student and provides drills as well as background on grammar and culture.
Platiquemos is extremely thorough, and pays special attention to precise pronunciation. With
Platiquemos more is better because the student will need to repeat words, sentences, phrases until Spanish is stamped in their head.
