Platiquemos Spanish Course, FREE Units 1 & 2
Submitted by katin on Sun, 11/27/2011 - 21:39
Download two units of this classic course in Spanish FREE. (Comes as a zip file, unzip to see the PDF files and 21 MP3 files!)
These audio lessons are pretty much in the classic / traditional style. They remind me of the tapes I had in 8th grade German class: male announcer, female native speaker, phrases spoken and repeated.
Downloading and trying these out is a good way to see if you like this course and get a free kick-start in learning Spanish - or perhaps cover a new area in your studies or get a review. As of Nov 2011, they offered 8 levels of lessons for $25 per level.
