Gracias! I ordered Assimil a couple of days ago on a whim because I got it at a reasonable price. Is Destinos a TV programme? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes. It takes you through the Spanish speaking world so you also get exposed to different accents early on.

Thankyou, I'll check it out. Would you recommend using Assimil whilst listening to simple podcasts and tv shows to acquire vocabulary? I am unsure how to acquire a language core to build on. I only know French to very basic level and, this has been taught to me since I was 11 in school on and off. Also, how long does it take to complete the Spanish with ease book assuming you do one lesson per day? Is destinos a good supplement. I've tried to search the forum for threads, but it is tedious and I can find it hard to navigate sometimes. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It would be better to use it with simple podcasts because watching tv at a beginner stage isn't too helpful in my opinion.
Probably around 6 months if you follow the Assimil instructions to the dot. I'd say that Destinos is good to go with it. If you've ever used French in Action, it's basically Destinos' equivalent. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks, so the best bet would be to use Assimil and supplement with simple podcasts? I think I'm going to Spain next year after my exams so would like a fairly decent conversational level of Spanish (in six months). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Destinos helped me go from just knowing the grammar to understanding TV shows and movies. I highly recommend
it. And don't forget to turn on the Spanish subtitles. Watching the episodes with Spanish subtitles helps a lot. This is where it lives: Destinos 2 persons have voted this message useful |
