It seems that Bueno, entonces has been shot down in a question I recently posted (although I still think
there may be SOME benefit).
What about:
(1) Rocket [LANGUAGE] (e.g., Rocket Spanish);
(2) Fluenz (saw some decent reviews on this site);
(3) Learning Spanish Like Crazy (LSLC);
(4) others for Spanish or other languages?

LSLC is nice, I also liked Synergy Spanish (highly recommended). Paul Noble, the MT clone, is good. If I'm not mistaken, he also had a Spanish course. Then there's Linguaphone AllTalk course, which is entertaining - it's a detective story. Platiquemos is a famous Spanish course, same as telenovela Destinos.
Spanish learners are lucky people, a lot of fun, non-textbook methods are available for them.

Yes Learn Spanish Like Crazy is good, I tried it several years ago. Also I like Collins Spanish with Paul Noble, Michel
Thomas (it would be great without those annoying students and if he had a native English accent), Assimil and Praxis
Language SpanishPod podcast.

I thought I read that the Michel Thomas people did the courses over with corresponding native accents
(e.g., native Spanish accent for the Spanish program). Does anyone know? That would be so much better.

I also have read about that somewhere but when I listened to the Demo on Michel's website there was the same
Michel's pronunciation.

I would like to listen to Michel Thomas courses with native English speaking host and without the students,
espesially for Italian, Spanish, French and Portuguese.

Well, the students are a patented feature of the method. But at least the Portuguese course has a native speaker with a nice accent, and even the students don't have a strong accent, seems like they already speak Italian or Spanish (or at least one student, not sure).
