Learn Spanish Programs

This is our simplest list because most of the stuff out there just isn’t worth it. If you want ultra-portable learning, go with the Pimsleur stuff. It walks you through the basics pretty well without any fanfare, and it’s audio-only so you can take it anywhere on your iPod or in your car. If you have the time to spend in front of a computer, get Fluenz, the best by far. The program is fully interactive, has a beautiful Latina teacher who will give you tools, ideas, and plenty of inspiration all the way to the end, and hundreds of workouts so that you learn everything really well. The customer service is also top notch, and in case this isn’t enough, Fluenz includes a CD with one of our favorite Latino actors, Edgar Ramirez. To really get a sense of how Fluenz works, you can download a free sample session at their website, www.fluenz.com.
