I completed Level one of Learning Spanish Like Crazy in the last post. Thirty, approximately 30 minute long lessons covering a lot of vocabulary, verb conjugations, present tense, past tense, preterite tense, imperfect tense, reflexive verbs and much more with conversations at what seems like normal speed with different actors throughout so you get used to hearing different people instead of the same one or two instructors. A very in depth course for being called Level 1.

Learning Spanish Like Crazy Level 2 is definitely the next level. You will not be able to listen and repeat and completely know a lesson after one try. It will take a few listens to get through a lesson at this level. Some complain there isn’t any grammar explanations so you know why something is said the way it is. There are a few, but mostly, it’s listen to the english, then listen to the Spanish.

Level 2 is more than just listen and repeat. It’s more like listen to the English, pause for your answer / translation in Spanish, listen to the Spanish instructors answer, pause so you can repeat the right answer, listen again to the Spanish instructor. So, you have to listen, think, say it, listen to the answer and repeat to make sure you have it along with the right accent.

Personally, If I’m listening in my car and there is traffic or distractions, I have to go back and start over. This is not a casual easy listen, at least for me. For instance the same English phrase may be said in different ways, but they are still looking for the same Spanish answer. Level 2 of Learning Spanish Like Crazy is very indepth with new verbs, new verb conjugations and new nouns all in one lesson.

The eight bonus lesson, plus two bonus lessons for slang, an hours worth of video lessons for more vocabulary and downloadable transcripts make this a great program if you’re really serious about learning Spanish, especially with Learning Spanish Like Crazy Level 3 coming out this year.
