Sueños World Spanish

BBC2 Learning Zone: 21st February 2006, 01:00-06:00

Sueños World Spanish offers a superb start in learning a language that is spoken by more than 300 million people in over 20 countries. Recorded and filmed in Spain, Latin America and the USA, this innovative and stimulating course will help users develop listening and speaking skills with confidence, taking them to the rough equivalent of GCSE or NVQ Level 1. Now revised to include the euro and other key updates around the Spanish-speaking world.

The course is aimed at beginners and those with a little Spanish and is designed to meet the varied needs of adult learners at home or in class. It takes a communicative approach with an emphasis on practising the language in real and recognisable situations and offers valuable insights into the variety of cultures throughout the Spanish-speaking world. Now revised to include the euro and other key updates around the Spanish-speaking world, each of the 20 units is sub-divided into manageable learning blocks so learners can make rapid progress with the language. Personal learning strategies are provided and regular review sections help monitor progress.

The DVD from which the *.avi files were created failed a CRC. Luckily ‘BadCopy Pro’ was able to bypass the unreadable sectors, but as a result, the very end of program 20 contains a small amount of distortion… nothing serious.
