I took Spanish all through high school, and these podcasts are helpful for rebuilding my knowledge. I would say it's a bit too slowly paced for me, and at times I'd prefer a lesson on verb conjugations.

Great podcast

I have been using this podcast in conjunction with a book to learn Spanish for a trip to Spain. David's lessons are well organized, and extremely helplful as a backup to "book learning". I can do a lesson in my book, then find a podcast on the same topic to reinforce pronunciations and usage. Muchas gracias, David!

Love it!

These podcasts offer simple, easy to learn ways of picking up useful Spanish that you are likely to use in everyday circumstances. The slow, by-the-syllable pronunciation of Mr. Spencer is great for understanding how the words should be pronounced. Highly recommended.

Well developed, presented and it works for me!

In my "Opinion"! Mr. Spencer starts at the basic level and builds up in a organized and timely manner, so that the beginner has the basis for a complete learning of the Latin American Spanish language.... I highly recommend this as learning tool. Second to none, I am a beginner! deh

great program!

I have actually taken Spanish courses before -4 months night school at a University. It certainly gave me a good beginning. The problem being is that there is no one to practice with outside of classes if you live in a non Spanish speaking region.
I have moved to Panama and it is necessary to learn Spanish. I have downloaded all the Spanish podcasts and actually purchased some software. I think Dave's Survival Guide is the best podcast I have listened to. His method is absolutely the best and now that he has the "visuals" to supplement the courses - I have all the tools I need. I listen to them in the car or home on my GPS ( or ipod) and I keep going over them and over them. I probably appreciate them more then most people because what he offers in his Spanish podcasts is exactly what I need to learn to survive here in Panama. EVERYDAY words. The grammer can come later but it's very important for me to be able to converse on topics used in everyday conversations.
I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to fit into the community and simply learn to speak. EXCELLENT - keep them coming Dave

I've added Dave's podcasts to my daily commute and have really enjoyed them. Great energy and clear diction. Including his lessons to my current classroom Spanish course can only help speed learning up.

Great energy

Straight forward, simple lessons each around a central topic. Each topic gives you several key phrases. David (the speaker) comes across more like a freind trying to help you then a teacher which makes things easier (for me at least) to learn.

Great job Dave

I've been listening to the Learn Spanish - Survival Guide during my morning commute since it started. I'm very happy with the results. David presents the lesson in a very easy to understand and follow manner as well as shows the energy and enthusiasm that is so important when teaching. You can really tell he enjoys doing the show and that has made a huge difference in my learning.
I highly recommend this podcast for anyone trying to learn more of the Spanish language.

Great stuff
