There’s a downloadable program called Learning Spanish Like Crazy. I haven’t used it but I knew it was pretty popular and was planning to write about it this week. It teaches Latin American Spanish.
Serendipity rules! I got an email from one of my email subscribers, saying:
Rosana, a program that I am using, that I don’t see reviewed, is Learning Spanish Like Crazy. I listen to it while driving, reviewing the dialogs. I also print out the dialogs to make sure that I am understanding it correctly. But all that “wasted” time driving is now put to use. And if one listens to it enough, well even my dog is beginning to learn a little!
So I wrote him back and asked him if I could quote him and use his name and location. He said yes, and added that the dog’s name is Jack. He is Dale Wilson of Topeka, KS, and he uses a variety of programs to learn his Spanish. He cautioned me:
Sí, you may quote me, just don’t claim that I’m some sort of expert, because I’m learning.
I was pleased he used the accent over the i on Sí!
Anyway, I am busy creating a new website which I will announce soon, so I’m rushed for time… if you are at all curious about Learning Spanish Like Crazy, which was created by a New York lawyer who now lives in Medellín, Colombia, then go take a look!
And if, like Dale, you have had experience with this program, do post a comment about your experiences.
