"Focuses on real-world conversation...Great value."—Men’s Health magazine
What satisfied customers are saying:
"I know how difficult it is to try to learn a new foreign language at a distance and in one’s spare time. Behind the Wheel French was the course I found the most helpful in acquiring a basic understanding of the language. The explanation and sequencing of topics in this first level course made learning French both enjoyable and accessible. From my thirty years of teaching experience, I can attest to Mark Frobose's excellence as a teacher.
—Dr. Gautam Dasgupta, Professor, Columbia University
“Of all the language series that I have ordered in the past from other companies, Language Dynamics has been by far the best…. the voices are easy to listen to and quite entertaining! You have developed a wonderful product and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn a language in an easy to follow method.”
—Diana Wood, Human Resources, Motorola
“I would recommend any Behind the Wheel course in any language to anyone wishing to learn to speak a new language quickly, easily, and enjoy the process.”
—Jeni Atkins, Educator, Portland, Oregon

Customer Reviews
Fun and improved! 
These discs are a lot of fun to fill the time on the commute and it is great to learn such a useful language without effort or having to make time for it.
These are based on early an earlier cassette version, but they are completely updated with additions and more user friendly timing, i.e. longer pause for translations.
EASY, FUN, HELPFUL
Como esta'?
Muy bien, gracias.
How many who say they do not speak Spanish understand those words? A good many I'd assume, which is a simple example of how familiar Spanish is to many of us. Most will be surprised at the number of English words that are related to Spanish words, thus quickly become a part of our vocabulary.
The ease with which it can be learned was not the only reason I was prompted to try Spanish, but we do live in Texas and have a large Spanish speaking population. Plus, I'm told Spanish is the fastest growing language in the world, and is the official language on four continents.
After just a few hours of listening I realized what a truly beautiful language it is, and how easily pronounced (compared to my forced jousts with French).
Those who have experienced Mark Frobose's method of teaching know just how effective and practical it is - with an emphasis on frequently used vocabulary and a wonderful native speaker to demonstrate proper pronunciation. For us there hasn't been time better spent than with these lessons. Seldom is learning such pleasure.

If you drive 15 minutes a day, you can learn Spanish!
I drive 15 minutes to work and 15 back. I have used this course and improved my Spanish dramatically just by doing what I do 5 days a week. Instead of listening to the radio, I listen to these CDs. It is almost effortless. A native speaker allows you to improve your accent. I took an adult education course recently and by far my accent was the most authentic. It is well organized, even though at times you wonder where he is going. I am so enthralled with this course that as I was finishing part 1 and looking at part 2, I ended up buying both 2 and 3 at the same time. And I am glad I did.
