Honest Review for Learning Spanish Like Crazy

Hola mi gente, ¿Qué más pues, bien o qué? Now it's your boy again coming back. I normally don't double back on reviews and I know it's been a few years since I did my first review on Learning Spanish Like Crazy. However, one of the dopest things about it now is that it’s now available on Audible. I am one of the original OG's from the program.
I had the CDs and I had the downloadable mp3 files since sometime around 2014, if I am not mistaken. And I owe my Spanish speaking skills to Learning Spanish Like Crazy.

So what Patrick did was put all of those great classic lessons on Audible, and I am going to tell you why this is so clutch. For one thing, no one has a CD player anymore. So now we don't have to worry about leaving CDs around or the downloadable files taking a lot of space on your computer. Before you had to put the files on a jump drive, and you don't always have the jump drive with you. I remember that I had to download them on my phone somehow back in the days, so I would have them when I was on my car. Now with Audible, you always have access to them. You can stream them if you have WI-FI. If you know you're going to be on a flight or you’re going to be somewhere that has a bad signal you can go ahead and download the files now with Audible directly to your phone, and it does not take up a whole bunch of space.

Another great thing is that you can play it at different speeds. So on Audible you can slow it down to 0.8 if you think the lessons are just too fast for you. You can even slow down to 0.5 but then it becomes too slow. Or if you feel like you've mastered the lesson but you still want to practice it, you can increase the speed. You can go up to 1.5 or 2.0. And when you do that it helps you develop the ear to hear fast speaking native Spanish speakers

Another one of the dopest things about Learning Spanish Like Crazy is that it’s one of the best programs out there. And that’s just being honest. It gives you that authentic Spanish. It's not going to give you the super textbook Spanish.
It’s going to give you authentic Spanish. The same Spanish that Dominicans, Puertoricans, Colombians, etc. speak. And to this day, I still use Learning Spanish Like Crazy. And people still ask me "How did you learn Spanish?" And I explain to them that I put together my personal program but Learning Spanish Like Crazy was an integral part of that personal program.

And it's just going back to the basics. And you think about Steph Curry, for example, does he still do shooting practices? Of course. It's the same way with language learning. Take into consideration that you have to go back to the basics to get better. And so, I still use Learning Spanish Like Crazy. I'll go through all the lessons, and then I'll start off from scratch. So sometimes I'll pick certain topics that I want to brush up on when I know that I am about to be traveling. And they have certain lessons that are particular to the gym. So if I know I am about to work out, then I’ll review those topics to practice them with my gym partners or the people that I meet at the gym.

I put my stamp on it. I give you my 100% recommendation and this is no cap. I still use the program. I don't know if Audible does the thing like Youtube Music or Apple Music where it shows your year in review, if they do and you saw mine, you’d see that I practice with Learning Spanish Like Crazy pretty much on a daily basis. The lessons are about 30 minutes long. Remember that if you speed the lessons up, the time might go down to 20 minutes per lesson.

I recommend never doing more than one lesson the same day, but you can do the same lesson multiple times. That's really good practice because your brain can only do so much active learning in one day. So if you are going to do an hour, I would do the same lesson twice so you really feel like you've mastered it before you move on to the next one.

Hands-down best method for speaking and comprehend

As any student of the Spanish language already knows, embarking on a journey to learn a new language can often be a daunting journey. As they say in Latin America "Gracias a Dios" (Thank God) there's "Learning Spanish Like Crazy Level". Just like the Original version of Learning Spanish Like Crazy Level One, this NEW & Improved version is an exemplary tool that has fundamentally transformed my approach to learning Spanish, and I am sure it will do the same for you if you put in the effort (less than 30 minutes a day).

The author of this course, Patrick Jackson, has designed an effective system that enables you to speak and comprehend real conversational Spanish with confidence. The course's structure is immersive and practical, appealing to beginners as well as those who have previously tried other Spanish learning methods and apps with little or no success.

Over a period of many years, not only have I purchased most of Patrick Jackson's foreign language learning programs, I have also purchased many of his competitors products. In addition, I have installed all the most popular free and paid learning-Spanish mobile apps. And Patrick Jackson's programs have helped me much more than the others when it comes to actually speaking and comprehending spoken Spanish. With that said, they were not the tools that helped me the most with reading and writing Spanish.

But one of the things I like most about this particular program is the sheer volume of content it provides. With a listening length of nearly 22 hours, including a core program of 30 lessons lasting approximately 30 minutes each, and an additional 16 bonus lessons which are designed to enhance conversational skills.
Another strong aspect of this course is its focus on authenticity. Although Patrick Jackson is a north American, the lessons are narrated by native Spanish-speaking voice actors only. In fact, the narrator in this program is a Latina woman. Although I cannot speak for the experience everyone will have with this program, but for me listening and repeating after native Spanish speakers has helped me to develop an authentic Latin American Spanish accent, at least from what Spanish speakers tell me. In my opinion, having only native Spanish speakers in this NEW version of Learning Spanish Like Crazy Level One is particularly valuable for those aiming to interact with native Spanish speakers in a real-world context. The fact that these Spanish speaking voice actors are completely new and different from the original Learning Spanish Like Crazy Level One course meant that I was exposed to a variety of accents and speaking styles which also helped to further enrich my listening and understanding skills.

There's also an accompanying PDF, available in your Audible Library along with the audio. I found that that the PDP helped to complement the audio lessons and provide a visual learning component. There’s no doubt that multimodal approach caters to different learning styles which enhances retention and understanding of the language.
And may I add that Learning Spanish with this program is not only effective but also enjoyable. The teaching method is engaging, making practice sessions something to look forward to rather than a chore. The more you engage with the program, the more you learn, creating a positive feedback loop that accelerates language acquisition.

In conclusion, "Learning Spanish Like Crazy Level One – NEW & Improved Version" is a comprehensive, engaging, and effective program for learning Spanish. Whether you are a beginner or someone who has tried other methods and apps without success, this program offers a fresh and highly effective approach to mastering conversational Spanish, all from the comfort of your own home and at your own pace. If you're serious about learning Spanish, this course is a worthy investment.

Gracias a dios for Learning Spanish Like Crazy

I'm someone that his has had limited success using the most popular mobile apps for learning Spanish. The ones that people boast about one social media. The only success that I’ve had using the most popular learning-Spanish mobile apps is that they helped me a lot to improve my reading comprehension in Spanish. But they did little if anything to help me actually speak the language and comprehend it when spoken by everyday, rapidly-speaking native Spanish speakers. But after using this NEW and Improved version of Learning Spanish Like Crazy, I must say “Gracias a dios” that I found this audiobook. This is a very effective way and also a very fun and engaging way to learn Spanish. From using this audiobook to learn Spanish, I have been told by my Mexican neighbors and Mexican friends at work that my pronunciation and Spanish accent has improved immensely and now sounds more native-like. Thanks to the fact that only native Spanish speakers are used in this audiobook. Although this audiobook puts a major emphasis on learning how to pronounce Spanish words and phrases like a native speaker, there are also still plenty of conversations with native speakers speaking quickly (I'd guess it would be considered normal speed for native Spanish speakers). Hearing the conversations spoken at normal speed gave me a sense of confidence that when I am engaged in a conversation with a native Spanish speaker speaking at what they consider normal speed, I am confident that I'd be able to understand at least 80% of the conversation, perhaps as much as 90% or more. And that is exactly what I am experiencing now when speaking to my Latino neighbors and Latino friends in Spanish. My comprehension of spoken Spanish is much better than ever. I am also thrilled with the content that's included. Besides the thirty core lessons, there must be at least 10 bonus lessons which I found extremely helpful. Except for two of the bonus lessons which I found to be a bit too advanced for me right now. But what I found to be the greatest feature or benefit of this learning-Spanish audiobook is that it uses a method that makes learning how to conjugate Spanish verbs easy for English speakers like myself to learn. And for me, prior to using this audiobook, the greatest challenge for me as a student of the Spanish language, besides understanding rapidly-speaking native speakers, was just learning how to conjugate Spanish verbs properly. But I now feel well-assured that I can properly conjugate Spanish verbs in all of the tenses which would be considered beginner tenses (such as present, past tense and imperfect tense). So what if anything do I NOT like about this NEW Learning Spanish Like Crazy Level One? The accompanying PDF doesn’t include a syllabus or outline of the contents. There is a Table of Contents in the PDF but it doesn’t give you a detailed outline of what each lesson covers. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I am feeling as if I have to go through hours and hours of audio with a fine-tooth comb to find exactly what I’m looking to review. I hope the creators of Learning Spanish Like Crazy will update the PDF with a more detailed Table of Contents which thoroughly describes what each lesson covers.

Thorough language learning.

The method used in this book is quite comprehensive. I grew up within a spanish speaking family and never picked up the language enough to have a conversation. I have been through multiple apps attempting to pick it up but i could never stick to it long enough.
Being able to listen and read along with the PDF has helped me to learn leaps and bounds faster by using two senses at a time. This book is well worth the money, comes with many bonuses such as the first ten lessons in video form, the PDF and a free mobile app!
I appreciate the native speakers in the narration as well as the informal focus, that was another problem i found with the apps is it was a version of spanish too proper for casual conversation.
Fingers crossed with in the year ill be a fluent spanish speaker!

Great program to learn Spanish!

Almost 22 hours of Spanish, and you'll have a great foundation. In addition to the audiobook, the program comes with a monthly webinar where you can practice your Spanish with real people, and it also has a PDF version of the book so you can read along. The author has set the listener up for success by offering a comprehensive program that covers all the senses (listening, seeing, and talking (practicing) needed to learn a new language. When learning a language, this approach really solidifies the new information and will not only teach you to speak it, but you will also be reading and understanding Spanish. This is a complete program that will work for anyone willing to put in the time. Well worth the cost, whether paying for it fully or with credits.

Start Learning Spanish Today!

Oh wow! There are so many positive things to say about these audiobooks! If you want to learn Spanish, this is the program for you. Great method and excellent value for your money.

- Words and phrases are introduced, and you get plenty of chances to hear, repeat, and use them in scenarios.
- Basic grammatical explanations, but not so much that it is overwhelming for beginners.
- Relevant everyday vocabulary and conversation topics.
- Plenty of repetition and review of vocabulary and phrases to help them really stick.
- Pace that is fast enough to keep you engaged and learning, but slow enough that it's easy to absorb and learn Spanish.
- When there is more than one common way Spanish speakers say a word or phrase, while only one is taught and practiced, the other is mentioned briefly, so that you will recognize it when you hear it without getting confused.
- Great pronunciation and stellar narration.
- Free downloadable PDF of all the lesson material - 406 pages of content!
- Invitation to FREE, monthly live and interactive webinars with a Spanish instructor.

So grateful to the author and narrators for all the time, effort, and research that went into producing this resource to help us in the exciting adventure of learning Spanish! Muchas gracias!

A masterclass in an audiobook

This is such a comprehensive Spanish course. The focus is on informal spoken Spanish – something you will find immediately useful on your next trip to a Spanish-speaking country. The clear narration is complemented by male and female voices pronouncing the phrases – a methodology that is particularly effective.

I find the bonus “Helpful Spanish Phrases and Idioms” particularly useful. This contains popular words and phrases that render a level of authenticity to your Spanish speaking. There is so much value in this 22-hour audiobook. If you are able to complete the 30 lessons you will be well on your way to developing a working knowledge and proceeding to master the Spanish language.
