If used correctly, this course can be an excellent tool for building a stronger foundation in the language.

The focus is on European Spanish, and the recorded material was done by native speakers of that dialect. A number of conversations and listening drills feature South American dialects namely Chilean and Peruvian , added to provide familiarity with the intonation and pronunciation of the language in those dialects.
