DK Hugo - Spanish in three months
Tuesday, March 31, 2009 @ 4:20 PM
Having had a couple of busy weeks, I am back to learning some more Spanish - This week, I have tried the DK Hugo - spanish in three months course.
This is set up over 13 weeks - but I only have it from the library for 3 in the first instance so wanted to work through it quickly first to see if I liked it.
Well - no, I didn't. Don't know about you guys, but one of the key things for me is being able to learn on the move - generally in the car. I put the first CD into the stereo on the way home from the library - that didn't work at all - you definitely need the book in front of you - and a pause button.
There is no English on the CDs - so unless you already know what the words are, you have no idea what they are saying - and if you do already know the words - why would you be listening!
I have the next course ready to try - will let you know how that goes. And I haven't redone the Michel Thomas second course yet, so more on that later too.
I am thinking of adding some new pages to www.learnparrotfashion.com - some quick wins - (words that always translate in the same format such as ...ible) - and some grammar for regular verbs - any thoughts - would this be of use?
Look forward to feedback
