Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, 5 hours is too long for one sitting, especially for a learning book. I prefer listening in smaller sittings to make sure I understand and retain everything.

Good Spanish Vocab Guide with Superior PDF Handout

This review is for the audiobook version of The Complete Spanish Master.: Discover over 680 new intermediate words and phrases. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this text. It was very conversational in tone and provided excellent, real-world vocabularly--not just what you get from Google Translate. The slang and "dichos" were spot on.

I'm a fluent Spanish-speaker and this book exceeded my expectations. I would recommend it for intermediate-to-advanced level speakers.

The narrators, Claudia R. Barret and Rebecca Maria did a fine job reading the material. I loved the European pronunciation/accent which works very well for an educational text such as this.

One of the best things about this collection is the companion PDF. The exercises are easy to follow and reinforce the text.

Fun way to expand Spanish vocabulary

Short and sweet stories that are fun to mix into my longer audiobook listens and help me grow my Spanish vocabulary.

I would give it 4.5 starts if I could.

I've gained a lot of confidence and learned many new words and phrases. The only problem that I have is that occasionally they use the word they are defining to define the word. However, I'll listen again and have recommended it to others. I'm hooked.

Great learning tool

As an intermediate Spanish speaker, I jumped at the chance to listen and review this audiobook. There are 36 different audio lessons, and the format contains a short article, some key phrases and vocabulary and comprehension questions during the first half of the audiobook.

I highly recommend this book because it does what it does very well. This really does work for intermediate students, perhaps advanced beginners as well. I have my default listening setting to play my audios faster than regular speed. Even when listening faster, everything was still easy to hear and comprehend.

The narrator of the Spanish section has a clear and non-distinct voice. She sounds professional like a news reader, but with a happy/light tone. The narrator on a book like this would make or break it, but I had no complaints at all.

My favorite part of the book was the keywords and phrases. They are Spanish defined with Spanish, and the listener is given example sentences in context. This is a HUGE thing to grow vocabulary. When I first got to intermediate level, I had difficulty with circumlocution, and now after listening to this audiobook, I feel much more confident in these topic areas.

I do recommend that the listener work through these stories at a slow and regular pace to avoid mental fatigue. When I tried listening to long sections all at once, I found that I wasn’t retaining as much as I’d hoped.
