  • These two are fantastic!

    I have learned more about Spanish in both practical use and correct grammatical use through all of the podcasts and books from Lightspeed Spanish than I ever thought possible. I only have time to listen on my way to and from work.

    Despite this limited time investment, I have made so much progress that I am able to use this skill with the many Hispanics that do not speak English in the Natural Gas Construction Industry that I work in as a Safety Director.

    Thank you Gordon and Cynthia

  • Has some benefit

    When Gordon actually teaches , it’s good. However ,a lot of it is Cynthia laughing and making jokes so the lessons take longer than they need to and when she speaks Spanish , she speaks very fast and not that clearly.

    But they are nice and you can learn from them.

  • Best spanish course ever

    Content, grammartips, explination, two persins speaking, one english and the other spanish is an excellent combination when ir comes to teaching english, performance and duration is the best I ever have come across. The only bad thing is that the lessons do not show up in order in the podcast. I have to keep on looking for them to be able to listen to them in order.
