The importance of the auditory input for Spanish language learning cannot be overstated. In order to acquire fluency, students need to listen to the way the target language sounds, its inflexions, and the way native speakers blend words together. The Spanish Audio CD is, therefore, an indispensable part of our method.

First, students are encouraged to listen several times and try to finish the exercises on their own. Then they check their answers with the Answer Key. If the input is incorrect they go over it again, this time reading the script in the Manual. Research and experience have proven that this is the best way to develop an “ear” for the language.

The third step is to repeat after the speaker, so that the learner starts acquiring oral fluency.

Students, children as well as adults, should not neglect the CD, because it is an important tool for really learning Spanish!
