Being able to speak Spanish can be very useful! Spanish is the language of choice in Spain and throughout South America. Learning any language begins with the basics: The alphabet, pronunciation and simple vocabulary. From there, you will master more intensive concepts, such as verb conjugation and sentence construction. The Spanish DVD 2-Pack includes ¿Habla Español? The Basics and ¿Habla Español? Beyond The Basics.

very lame, but hey maybe it will help
I really wish to a least be able to speak a little spanish and read it. This program actoring well it is queso ( chessey) and i hope they got better jobs nows. I hope I did not waste the money, but only time will tell.

Same Program Different Titles
Normally I would have given a 5 star rating BUT I first bought Advanced Spanish - Beyond the Basics. I liked it so much I bought Advanced Spanish - Verbs, Spanish 1&2 and ¿Habla Español?. My tape of Advanced Spanish - Verbs is IDENTICAL to Advanced Spanish - Beyong the Basics. In fact it had that as the title for the video when you view the tape. The DVD of ¿Habla Español? is IDENTICAL to the Spanish 1 tape except for some quizzes. I wrote the company with this complaint and got no answer. If you go to their site you will find about 20 Advanced Spanish DVDs that have descriptions that all appear to be the same DVD with different titles. I would definitely not buy Spanish 1. Instead buy the ¿Habla Español? DVD. Other than this, I would be very careful buying from this company.

¡Standard Deviants helps people learn Spanish!
The Standard Deviants' Spanish 1 and 2 are really helping me get the language and deal with my immersion course. Every example, whether it is a vocabulary word, a sentence, a number, or WHATEVER, is given with the utmost hilarity. And, the funnier the subject, the better we all remember it! This program deals primarily with Latin-American Spanish, so if you are looking for Spanish-Spanish, look elsewhere; it does deal some with this dialect, but certainly not much. This program really helps me keep up my Spanish between class periods, something about which I had been very very concerned.

Everything is presented in such a hilarious manner that it makes the program not only good watching but highly educational. It's also a treat the whole family can enjoy: my middle-aged parents like it as much as my decade-old brothers.

I gave this program 5 stars because it heps me so much with my Spanish. I find parts of this language -- such as the r's -- to be very challenging, and this is really very helpful. Viewers see verbs conjugated, sentences constructed, and more.

The Standard Deviants DID NOT DESIGN THIS PROGRAM SO YOU COULD SKIP CLASS. This is an excellent program and, if you're doing everything you're supposed to be doing already, it REALLY helps. But it's not a replacement of your class; it's an excellent SUPPLIMENT. ALWAYS GO TO YOUR CLASSES AND LISTEN TO YOUR TEACHERS!!!!!

Multiple 5 star reviews from the same person??
and he doesn't even give his name ("A Viewer"). I would have to guess that he is someone with a personal interest in the rating, because these DVD's do Not rock -- they rot.

Riddled with Errors
Though the DVDs cover a lot of good material for the beginner, it is riddled with spelling and grammar mistakes. Actors will say one phrase and the corresponding text doesn't exactly match. If you are not an absolute beginner at Spanish, you may realize these mistakes. It indicates to me that the creators/marketers didn't think enough of us to do a professional review of their material before releasing it.
