Review of Start Speaking Today or Language 30
CDs+Books, No pronunciation scores, Cheap, ★
They offer 33 languages, 2 CDs each with very little repetition, at $2 to $25 per language. Amazon reviewers say they are basic and hard to follow. An advantage is they offer a low cost CD option for many languages. These courses may be useful after you begin with Book2, Transparent or Pronunciator.
Trying out the Spanish one, it starts with lists of Spanish words to show pronunciation of different letters; alien for a beginner who knows none of these words. Then it presents lessons with very few repetitions, so you will have to replay each section manually.
Two CDs give 90-100 minutes of speaking, much of it in English.
