Muy Fantastico!

"I thought it was simple and entertaining. I am 45 years old and I was able to retain and repeat what I saw. It was fun and silly. I can watch it repeatedly and always pick up new stuff!"
Campy, funny, and full of energy

"At first I was like "what is this guy doing?" Then I realized that he is sort of a ham. He is filled with energy and instills his enthusiasm into the teachings. His teaching style blends humor, sound, and visualization to impart a lot of information in a short amount of time. Some of it moves quickly, but that is the beauty of owning the DVD--you can replay it.
This is a perfect DVD for a beginner or someone who wishes to augment what they already know."
Spanish for someone? but not me

"Unfortunately the instructor assumes that because you do not know the language you must be stupid. How else could you explain the style of delivery. I think by definition that people who are motivated to learn a second language are not idiots - please don't treat us that way. I would not describe the DVD as particularly effective, but in its favor it doesn't sour you to learn more (somewhere else). I have heard CDs that almost made me want to quit learning spanish - at least this DVD does no harm. I just wish it did more good."
Giggle your way to Spanish!

"I actually put this on at house parties, and the kids watch it all the time. I noticed a few grumps wrote negative reviews, but they probably prefer the Spanish classroom. Not me -- the scenarios and large font may be a bit outdated, but some of the best films ever were made before I was born! I love to laugh and learn at the same time. And since I've seen it so many times, I'm out there using Spanish without any fear at all!"
Great Classroom teacher probably, but annoying DVD

"Sorry, but I agree with the comments about him being goofy. I read that before and thought "Ok, goofy might be good for me and my 4 year old", but it is stupid goofy not entertaining goofy. To begin with, he starts off acting like a doctor who is abusing his patient to make vowel sounds. Then when a child doesn't get a balloon she kicks him in a campy way. He spends too much time lecturing in english, when I was hoping it would be scenes of real life to learn from. He would be great at a weekly experiential learning lecturer/teacher, but the DVD is slow, not very funny and not sure his accent is very good - The Spaniards on the street thought he was the student! I wish I had bought something more entertaining with more spanish than english."
