I have all three levels of Behind the Wheel Spanish and while they are all good I felt that this one was the most enjoyable. This continues where the very first set left off and continues to focus on phrase and sentence building. Each phrase is given in English very first and then Spanish it making it very easy to follow. As the CDs progress more complex setnece structures are introduced. There are also some short stories which use the material learnt earlier and there are both male and female Spanish speakers. After using these CDs I have been able to hold simple conversations with Spanish speakers.
My one criticism is that the CDs have a problem with skipping however the content is so good that I still give them 5 stars.

This product would be useful for someone who is interested in practicing their pronunciation, especially someone who has not much speaking practice. I also think this program would be best used after one or two semesters of college or high school Spanish but not on its own because it does not teach you any grammar rules. I personally, did not find the program very useful. I think it would be better if it went in chronological order. For example, all greetings, then practicing present tense, then past tense etc. I bought the program because of all the positive reviews but I am bit disappointed.

This is a standard listen and repeat method. The voices are clear. The very first two CD's include rudimentary phrases.
There is not enough time provided after the phrase one is asked to repeat. The recorded voice returns too quickly, and moves on to the subsequent phrase. This is frustrating, more so when one is also trying to drive. The attempts to scroll back the recording can be tricky.

I purchased this audio CD with great anticipation of practicing basic Spanish grammar as I drove to work. However, when I put the CD into my car's multi CD player, it skipped and jammed. When I finally ejected it I saw the problem. The CD has a paper label on it which causes CD's to jam in most multi-CD players. I then thought, "I bought it...so I'll just burn it to another CD so I can still use it." (btw, this does not violate any copyright law since it was for single, personal use) But the recordings are of such low quality, all I got was a buzzing noise out of the copies. I never got to hear the lessons so it would be unfair to give the product a one star rating. But since the publishers of this CD refuse to use good quality CD's, I gave it a generous two star rating.

I am most of the way through the 1st series of 8, and find the CD's to be fantastic! I am learning to speak Spanish! I have been spending about 1-2 months per CD, just when in my car, and find the technique on the CDs to be excellent! Highly recommend!
