Hello to everyone,
I attempted to email Don and the email came back as undeliverable. I wanted a complete course, from beginner to advance to brush up on my Spanish. If this course is unavailable, does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks

Don Casteel died a few months ago, and I'm not sure if his family was going to continue to offer Platiquemos or not.

Thanks. I am going to purchase this course as well along with the original. I read in some thread that the original has a more natural spoken language in regards to the speed spoken. That's what I really want to pick up on. It will not be spoken slowly to me, so...

Oh wow. I'm sorry to hear of his death. He was a nice man who I met on this forum. I found this thread because I purchased his entire program many years ago and have since lost it to an corrupt hard drive. Does anyone have any advice how, or if it's possible to still download it?
Thanks

Wow, this is the first I've heard of it, and it's been almost 2 years. I was reading through his post history a month or so ago and was wondering what had happened to him.
What a shame, he seemed like such a good, honest man.
RIP.

I'm currently looking for any family member of Mr. Casteel to see what happened to the program materials, perhaps they can be made available again. I found the name of a Richard Ditlow in Colorado Springs, but the envelope came back marked "not at this address". Haven't found anything else. If anyone has any information, please post, or if you want to send me an email so it isn't all over the net, please do so.
