I have a great success story with using "Learn Spanish the fast and fun way" with the audio CDs. The story is that
I had studied and followed the workbook and the CD's for a little while and then dropped it because I had no motivation. Then I met a fantastic woman from Argentina and conversed with her at a tango club. I was able to have about 40 min conversation with her just from remembering what I had learned in the workbook even though I didn't pick it up for a long time. I was so inspired and fired up by that incident that I went back and finished almost all of it. When I felt I outgrew it, I bought "spanish the easy way" by barrons. It turned out to be the perfect upgrade from the previous book. For someone who is just looking to get equipped with conversational skills, I would recommend these two workbooks in order that I did them in. It is a high level of commitment but it is paying off very well. There is also another language book I would like to recommend. It is "spanish for gringos level 2". For anyone who has finished "learn Spanish the fast and fun way", this would be the perfect workbook to complement it that would take you to the next level. The books summarizes all the main points of what you would need to know on more advanced grammer. This workbook was what I used to take a break while I was doing a rather intense workbook "spanish the easy way". I think that either way, whether you use "spanish for gringos level 2" as your only book after "learn Spanish the fast and fun way" or if like me, you use it to take a break while doing "spanish the easy way", it is a fantastic choice and you will benefit from either path. As for my new friend from Buenos Aires......the next time we talk we are going to have the most mind-blowing conversation ever.

That's a great story. Most of us have a better grasp of the language we are learning than we realise.
