Mark,
If you have no background in Spanish, then it's a great way to begin.
The whole approach is accelerated learning and it's a great learning tool.
The only people around me who speak German are presently in Switzerland 
But, i do plan to go to an intensive program at a local college. I would have never been able to do that w/o these tapes.
They are so enjoyable and the booklet is so well put together, you just can't go wrong. I've actually given them as gifts.
