Camino del éxito
("Path of success" - now in our 11th year on the web!)
15 CDs + caminodelexito.com + studyspanish.com = SUCCESS!What's Your Goal?
Do you want to be able to meet new people, discover their names and where they are from? Do you deal with workers who only speak Spanish? Would you like to be able to speak to them confidently? Maybe you want to be able to speak to the waiter in a restaurant. Or perhaps you are a Spanish film buff and would like to be able to understand the dialog. If you want to speak Spanish conversationally, this course will allow you to achieve your goal.
Is this a Spanish course for beginners?
Whether you are a beginner who is just getting started, or an intermediate level student with weak speaking skills, this is an appropriate course for you. Our Spanish course combines the convenience of audio CDs with the interactivity of the World Wide Web. The result is an excellent course for self-study. If you like our website, you'll love this Spanish course because it will provide you with an opportunity to gain real oral proficiency.
What is the teaching method?
With our method you will learn a relatively small body of material so well that it will be very easy for you to reproduce it. Real-world conversations are broken down into manageable parts. As you master the individual parts, you then begin to put them all together, and very quickly you find yourself able to easily say things that just a few minutes ago you had to struggle with. The Spanish you will learn is Spanish as it is actually spoken in real conversations. You will be amazed at how fast you are able to progress.
Is this course better than taking a class?
Many students study Spanish for years without ever really learning how to speak. Sure, they learn some grammar and some vocabulary, but when it comes to real conversations with real Spanish speakers, they are at a loss. Find out why the typical classroom just doesn't work.
How does the course begin?
With Camino del éxito, you'll be using the language from the very start to the very end of the course. You will be placed in real-life situations and skillfully engaged to participate. This course is like having your own private Spanish tutor to converse with!
The course begins with a series of carefully constructed pronunciation drills. These drills are designed to very quickly allow you to gain confidence in your pronunciation skills. With this confidence comes a positive, successful attitude. This positive attitude is essential to your overall success. That's why we start out by getting you to where you are very confident with your pronunciation.
What comes after pronunciation?
After disc two, the focus of the course shifts from pronunciation to communication, skillfully incorporating the story of an American who moves to a Latin American country. You will learn Spanish as it is actually spoken as you follow the lives of the characters.
All dialogs are based on real-life situations that incorporate only useful vocabulary. Through a series of carefully constructed drills and activities, you will learn structures that occur frequently in the language – structures that can be expanded and used in a variety of situations. By their very nature, these drills and activities develop fluency by encouraging you to actually think in Spanish.
Does the course have a cultural component?
Each of the fifteen units includes an interesting cultural note. Presented first in English and then in Spanish, the notes serve to give you insight into the people, places and customs of Spanish-speaking countries. Spanish cannot be learned in a vacuum. You must develop a feel for the cultural context of the language. The cultural notes will become your window into a new and exciting culture. But beware. They are almost certain to magnify your desire to travel to Spanish speaking countries!
What about the companion website?
The companion website - caminodelexito.com - is an important part of the course. In addition to the entire written transcript of all 15 CDs, the website guides you through the course, and provides you with important supplemental material including reading practice, interactive online lessons, interactive learning games, and a comprehensive student checklist.
