Hi everyone i just borrowed Teach Yourself Speak Spanish With Confidence. I am not able to find any info online about it and i had a few questions. First of all if any of you have used it please if you could can you write a little more info. also does anyone know what CEFR level it will bring you to.

I also got Michel Thomas Spanish Get Started Kit and The Vocabulary package. If you have any info on either of these programs please write back.

Gracias!!!

 

Almost forgot does anyone know how many hours the Michel Thomas CD's are?? Thanks!!!

Can't say exactly how long it is, but Michel Thomas is great! If you're the type who likes to know at least a little grammar (like me), it's amazing. Does a great job explaining the basics of grammar in the language, which (in my opinion) makes it so much easier to get more out of other kinds of input. The obvious danger with grammar study is that it tends to be boring and cause people to burn out, but Michel Thomas does a pretty good job keeping it interesting!

Handily, the Teach Yourself courses now tell you on the back which level they (supposedly) will take you to. From what I remember, the 'Speak with Confidence' ones will take you to A2, the 'Complete' ones go up to B2.
