Roger, I can vouch for this method. I learned to speak Spanish while living in Baja California after I got out of the service. My daughter wanted to learn Spanish, so I got the introductory course for her described above. I listened to it, and immediately wished I had had it available when I was learning. The intro set, actually the first 8 lessons from the full set which cost about $200.00 US. I ended getting the full set and it has improved my Spanish, and the wunderkind is doing very well too. It will be easier if you have some background (easily obtained by picking up a book) in conjugating verbs.

I would recommend this system.

All the best,

Mick
