The Standard Deviants - Habla Espanol? (Learning Spanish)

I had my doubts about this dvd, but once I started the lessons, it was hard to stop. Very detailed vocabulary and grammar lessons that are easy to follow. This dvd is for someone who doesn't know a word of Spanish because it really gets down to the basics, but it is never boring. It also includes reviews and short exams which will help you know what you need to back over and review. You will also find a little humour in the lessons which is nice. You will learn a lot in a short time. Note: Have a notebook and pen handy - you will want to pause the lessons from time to time and take notes.

I own 3 of these DVD's from this place. The titles can appear similar so be sure you are buying what you wanted. I bought this one only to discover that either they mailed me the wrong one, or else I just unluckily ended up with a beginners dvd. ("Basics vs Beyond the Basics vs Learning the Basics", etc) This one with the picture of the formal dressed man and woman dancing on the dvd cover, is strictly a beginners lesson. It starts with teaching you the numbers 1 thur 10, etc. Overall, this line of dvd's are good videos and they alone have gotten me past my 10 year learing barriers and allowed me to break through the world of pronouns, refexive, etc, and also break into the world of subjective verbs which have been my 10 year learning nemisis to improving my spanish. Yes, these vid's appear to be goofy and sesame street like, but this teaching approach has not been a deterent to the valuable lessons they provide.

I just received the DVD and cannot believe how fun it can be to learn a new language. There are several sections and each one is followed by a quiz. It makes learning easy and manageble. I strongly recommend this DVD to beginners.

The content included in this DVD is not appropriate for young learners. It was recommended for Middle/High school but its use of certain language, "alcohol" and "crazy" depictions are really inappropriate.

Just received this item......
Campy: 10/10
Substance: 1/10

Only value was a very basic section on greetings. Not enough real world "cover to cover" substance to justify the cost. I will be returning this item asap.
