[Blindtlk] Wanting to find a good accessible way to learn Spanish

[Julie J.]

I've been learning Italian with the audio lessons I purchased from 
Audible.com  Pimsleur is the author/creator of the learning method.  I'm 
only in the first set of lessons, but I'm satisfied so far.  You learn 
to speak the language by listening and repeating what the narrator 
says.  Then there are places where you are asked a question and you have 
to respond in the new language.   Pimsleur claims that by learning a new 
language in this way you minimize your accent. In the more advanced 
lessons I noticed there are written materials to accompany the audio, 
but I haven't gotten that far.
There are other languages available, including Spanish from Pimsleur at 
Audible.

I learned Spanish in high school using the typical textbook and nagging 
teacher.  We learned long lists of vocabulary words, how to conjugate 
verbs and very rarely actually practiced speaking.  I'm finding the 
Pimsleur method much more practical.

Good luck!
Julie
