Learning Spanish Like Crazy- Spoken Spanish, Vol. 1

Learning Spanish Like Crazy: Spoken Spanish, Vol. 1 Learning Spanish Like Crazy was developed to teach conversational Latin American Spanish. The course was developed after the Founder of the course realized that the Spanish that Latin American actually speak was different from the Spanish that he had learned from other self-study Spanish courses. Unlike many other Spanish courses, Learning Spanish Like Crazy teaches you how to speak “spoken” Latin American Spanish as opposed to “textbook” or formal Spanish. The course is all audio. This is the first in the series of three levels of Spanish. The first level will take the student from beginner to lower intermediate level. The other two levels are still under development by the company. As a special bonus gift for Amazon customers, the customers are given access to re-mastered downloadable copies of the complete FSI Spanish Level III and FSI Spanish Level IV.
