Product Description
This product is designed to teach you basic Spanish vocabulary, including the words, phrases and sentences that you will need to know in order to communicate with Spanish speakers throughout the entire Spanish-speaking world, including Spanish-speakers in the United States. This product is not intended to be a grammar book. Unlike many Spanish phrase books that were developed in the past, this book is not limited to the needs of a typical traveler. In designing this book, special attention was given to the fact that the Spanish speaking population in the United States is rapidly increasing. With this in mind vocabulary is included that the typical traveler may never have to use. For example, this product includes vocabulary for technology, home appliances, and car parts among other vocabulary topics. This entire audio CD is in Spanish. However, the publisher provides the listener with a link to download a pdf transcript that has a complete English and Spanish translation of the entire audio CD.

 Not good May 14, 2008

I purchased this to try and learn some basic Spanish because I have a trip to Mexico coming up. This is NOT a good program. I guess it assumes you know some Spanish, because it doesn't teach you what the words mean! And it goes fast. After many other purchases, I have now started the Rosetta Stone program, and it is by far the best and worth the investment.
Given little opportunity to learn due to speed of CD. April 6, 2008

If you're planning on learning Spanish from the tiny book, forget it.
The CD is spoken so rapidly that one does not have time to write the phrase down phonetically. It was a waste of money for me and I've had 12 semister hours of college Spanish.
Not for the beginner! March 29, 2008

For the price, you can't beat it. I purchased both of her CDs.
But you better have a good understanding of Spanish (i.e., be comfortable speaking and listening). I would leave out the word "most powerful" in the title. It is sort of misleading, but I would still purchase it again.
I would have preferred to listen to Anna Rivera's voice.
 Excellent product that will add lots of words to your vocabulary, and best of all, at a bargain price February 16, 2008

I think this product is excellent, especially for just a few bucks. It is almost impossible to find a Spanish learning AUDIO product for under fourteen dollars. So at five bucks I must say this is truly a bargain. I know some people may be disappointed that they do not have enough time to repeat a line before the recorded speaker begins a new phrase. But if someone is using the product that way, I think that they are missing the boat on this one. This is not a self-study course. It is an audio phrase book designed to increase your vocabulary and improve your listening skills in Spanish.
If I had purchased a phrase book (with no audio) with 800 phrases for this price, it would have still been a bargain. But to also get an audio CD with it makes it an even greater bargain. I am also a Spanish instructor and the next time one of my students asks me how to increase their vocabulary, I am going to recommend Anna Rivera's product.
Demasiado rapido para mi February 13, 2008

I bought this book, and its companion, 1,000 words, hoping to take the next step in Spanish. This book requires a great leap. The phrases are repeated only once, in full-speed Spanish, with NO time between for you to try to repeat, or think about what you just heard. Just "Numero Uno: Phrase, Numero Dos: phrase." No English translation (though you can download that from Anna's website). I'm sure at some point, it will be helpful, but for now it's way too fast. I've put it and its companion CD away for when I'm much more fluent.
