Hi there Visionwolf. I got my EasyLearn Spanish course about 3 weeks ago.. and I must say, I'm quite impressed. My strategy for learning the language (which, I might add, is turning out to be quite surprising in its results) has been to photoread my English-Spanish dictionary (a great one: The Oxford Spanish Dictionary, second ed. rev.) the night before going through the tapes, then letting it all incubate for a few days while I try to speak Spanish with anyone I can find who is fluent in the language.
Whats surprising is how much I'm beginning to understand. Just last night I talked for a while with a woman from Chile who doesn't speek a word of english.. and had a pretty decent conversation (except for the long pauses I had to take while trying to understand what she had just said.. remember to let 'em know you're a newbie before you get started.. lest they think you a weirdo and decide to run :-) )
All in all, I think this course is a great base for learning Spanish (the other two must be quite interesting too). Just remember to take it easy and let whatever happens be ok. The quickest way to get nowhere is to try to get everywhere fast.
Well.. enough talking. I think I'll go whip out my tape player and have another session. Good luck
