Amazon.com Review:
Look ma, no textbooks! The Learn in Your Car series treats you like a child--in the best possible way--starting with one-word phrases ('please,' 'good-by'), counting exercises, and simple nouns ('bus,' 'train') designed to imitate a child's learning process. First you hear the words in English, then they are repeated slowly in clear, unaccented pronunciations. The method is extremely effective for those who don't know a thing, or for those who want to brush up by testing themselves when the English words are spoken. The tapes emphasize the building blocks of communicating in a foreign country rather than rote phrases that only apply on the tape and not in real-life exchanges. Level 1 painlessly covers basic verb forms, essential prepositions, near future and past tenses, as well as shopping, hotel reservations, and other travel-related situations. The series includes French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish in three levels that can be purchased individually or in boxed sets. Each level contains two 90-minute cassettes (or CDs) and an accompanying booklet (not for use behind the wheel) with helpful explanations and scripts for the lessons.

I bought this product because I am trying to relearn Spanish (which I took three years of a long time ago). It does a good job with examples on how to conjugate verbs, and introducing more vocabulary. If you do not have an idea of how to conjugate verbs in different tenses, then this might not be for you. The explanations are a little vague in the booklet, but overall I found it helpful.

This is an affordable learning system and full of useful phrases. The lessons are ordered in a way that allows for combinations of phrases that translate into real learning. I suggest Level 3 as well.

Which Is Better? Behind the Wheel or Learn in Your Car Spanish?, April 17, 2007
Reviewer: John Cartier (New York, N.Y.) - See all my reviews
I personally enjoy using Learn in Your Car Spanish. It is a good value for the money and the production is very good, the vocabulary is worthwhile and the speakers voices are decent.
That said, I heartily recommend you very first purchase Behind the Wheel Spanish 8 CDs and text so that you have something to compare Learn in Your Car with.
My observations lead me constantly to the same conclusion: both courses are extremely valid but 'Behind the Wheel' is way ahead in terms of ease of use, flexibility in teaching approach, the speed at which you learn to speak Spanish (I started making my own sentences with BTW Spanish in about 10 minutes into the course). The fact that you are able to make original sentences with Behind the Wheel is one of its hallmarks, and places it way ahead of all competetion I have purchased, including 'Learn in Your Car'.
I still gave 'Learn in Your Car Spanish' a five star rating. Let me explain why.
If I have a technology that is the best in an 'old technology' category then I still will rate it high.
There literally is nothing on the market that can compete with Behind the Wheel Spanish. It is so far ahead of the other courses I have tried that there is nothing even close to which I can compare it.

I've never listened to any language courses as boring as this one. There's no stucture in the entire course. It's just simply read one word or one sentence in English and repeat it twice in Spanish. That's it. All those words and sentences are not related to each other so you can hardly make any connetion, thus learn anything from it.
I really hate this course.

This is quite a useful early-intermediate collection with some advances in vocabulary and verb tenses beyond the ordinary beginner's course.
One of the best features is that English is on one channel and Spanish is on the other. In other words if you like "immersion" then you can hear all-Spanish with no English.
On the CD set the voices are clear and the sound quality is excellent. Timing of the phrases is adequate. Repetition of language items is adequate.
Very happily there is no extraneous music other than chimes to mark sections. Chimes are not too frequent. You can play your own music if you like.
Minus a half star for the booklet which is tiny, odd-sized, and printed in somewhat small type. But it does contain the transcript. Helpfully, important language items are underlined. There is no index.
