I have been confused to the order of the Michel Thomas' Spanish courses. The website
seems to conflict with the booklet I have for the content.

I believe the order to be:

Michel Thomas Basic Spanish
Michel Thomas Advanced Spanish
Michel Thomas Spanish Language Builder
Michel Thomas Spanish Vocabulary

Is this correct?

I may be wrong but I believe the language builder course was released after the
foundation course but before the advanced course. From what I have read, many users have
found it better to wait and do the language builder course after they have completed the
advanced course. Personally, having just whizzed through the French courses, I found
that only the foundation and advanced are the vital ones to do, with the other ones
causing me to lose interest slightly...so I moved on and ditched them.

The order the original poster put is what I followed, and I think that is the best order. The vocabulary course
assumes you know grammar from the advanced course, as does the language builder course. After you are finished
with all of them, and perhaps you have studied FSI Spanish (I am on lesson 46 of that right now), you should go
back and do the advanced Spanish review CDs. You will be amazed at how much easier everything is and how
quickly you have progressed. I suggest this because I find it hard to get motivated by my progress when I'm learning
a language by myself, and it felt great to be able to answer almost everything (and very quickly) on the review CDs.
It made me realize that my studying was paying off. And, just as importantly, it showed me that I didn't know
everything quite as well as I had thought! Some of the commands I was unable to do properly, and the review CDs
told me several areas that I needed to go back to.

I second magictom123's advice. Just do beginner and advanced and then move on to other materials/sources. I remember after doing the beginner/advanced MT Italian, I listened a bit to the vocabulary course. It was horrible!
