Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The first hint that this isn't your normal, staid Spanish review course is the subtitle that's flashed across the screen: the "Salsa-riffic World of Spanish." The Standard Deviants, a cast of ebullient young performers who believe no joke is too bad as long as its memorable, bring their talents to a course in introductory Spanish in this video. Lots of flashy graphics keep things lively, but the course material itself is rock solid--it's been approved by an academic panel. Following some basic information on where Spanish is spoken, the real lessons begin with instruction on pronunciation and the Spanish alphabet (which, of course, uses some typographical symbols not used in English). A bit of vocabulary is imparted as the pronunciation lessons progress, and after some pointers on capitalization, simple lessons in practical conversation begin. The video proceeds to the inescapable bane of many language students, conjugating verbs. While this production won't be a substitute for an actual course in Spanish (and the cast specifically points out that it doesn't intend to be), the presentation is consistently energetic, with the lessons easy to remember. Someone who is interested in learning (or reviewing) basic material will no doubt gain from watching it. --Robert J. McNamara

- Great for beginners!!
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: ... Read More

- Double check the exact title your buying.
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 ... Read More

- Wonderful fun DVD for Spanish beginner
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.

Rating:

- Too wild and inappropriate for younger viewers.
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.

- Don't Waste Your Money
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.
