Pimsleur - Learn Spanish while driving.

The Pimsleur course is organized into separate 30 minute lessons; perfect for a work commute. During each lesson

With this method, you instantly get feedback on whether you remembered the translation and if you pronounced it correctly.

Typically during each lesson you learn around seven new words. You should repeat each lesson until you have around 80% comprehension, then you move on to the next lesson.

In my own experience, I would usually listen to a lesson 4 times before going to the next lesson. Seven words per lesson does not sound like a lot, but in the 30 minute lesson, you are constantly reviewing all the words and phrases you learned before. Therefore later you feel comfortable using them in conversation.

Pimsleur is not a all-in-one language course like Rosetta Stone, but its strengths are:

Pimsleur's Spanish 1 has 30 lessons, so you are getting about 900 minutes of Spanish teaching from that course. Pimsleur also has Spanish 2 and 3 which are a continuation of your lessons in Spanish and offer the same number of lessons as well.
