"Intermediate" maybe, not "Advanced" July 15, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I guess I was looking for more help with advanced sentence structure and verb tenses. This DVD, while helpful for some, didn't even go into the preterite much less the subjunctive. Also, I noticed numerous pronunciation errors from the non-natives, which were off-putting. Overall, entertaining and well put together but not really advanced.
 Really helpful tips - a good choice! March 17, 2007

This series is a little off the wall. Big deal! (in response to some other reviewers).
I have taken 4 years of spanish: 2 in HS and 2 in college (with all A's) and I still found this to be useful. There were some tips in here that really clarified some tricky topics like direct and indirect objects. I didn't mind the "mundane" parts at all. Review is always good to make sure that the student is on the same page as the instructors. Also, it gave me time to take some notes from the meatier subjects.
Overall it really is quite goofy but a good series no less!
 Same Program Different Titles December 21, 2005
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
Normally I would have given a 5 star rating BUT I first bought Advanced Spanish - Beyond the Basics. I liked it so much I bought Advanced Spanish - Verbs, Spanish 1&2 and Habla Espanol?. My tape of Advanced Spanish - Verbs is IDENTICAL to Advanced Spanish - Beyong the Basics. In fact it had that as the title for the video when you view the tape. The DVD of Habla Espanol? is IDENTICAL to the Spanish 1 tape except for some quizzes. I wrote the company with this complaint and got no answer. If you go to their site you will find about 20 Advanced Spanish DVDs that have descriptions that all appear to be the same DVD with different titles. I would definitely not buy this if you already own Advanced Spanish - Verbs. Other than this, I would be very careful buying from this company.
 Standard Deviants Learn Advanced Spanish October 4, 2005

The term "advanced spanish" is a relative term. I would equate the level of this Lesson to a Spanish "101" to Spanish "102" college level. I would consider this more of a basics level.
Small segments of this dvd were extremely valuable. April 6, 2004

Is is difficult to review this DVD because there are so few video language DVD's on the market. The valuable part of this dvd are a few troublesome area's of Spanish, such as 'direct and indirect pronouns'. I found that section to be most valuable. For example, as best I recall, they explain how to convert ' Juan escribe unas cartas a Marie y Jose', into 'Se los escribe'. These pronoun substitutions are a tricky yet prevalent part of the language. As for the remainder of the DVD, there were alot of grammer lessons which I found a bit boring. I'm not sure what audience this dvd was written for, at times too easy. However, I did find a few sections to be useful, therefore, I would have to say that you should consider buying this dvd if you want alot of stuffy grammer lessons, or if you want to improve areas like indirect pronouns. Overall, I would recommend this dvd.
