Great Lessons that really make a difference!

I just discovered this podcast in late February 2009.
I listened to the first 4 lessons of this podcast for about a month before my trip to the Dominican Republic in March 2009 and it made a world of difference! I listened in the car, at home while doing laundry and at work while filing; any time I was alone and had busy hands and an idle mind. I was able to shop, ask for drinks and make my needs made to non English speaking employees of the resort I went to successfully! For example, I only had one chair on my balcony and wanted two and talked to the maintence staff and got my extra chair!
I made new friends and learned even more Spanish while using what I knew! I am currently working my way forward as I plan to return at my first opportunity! My boyfriend who speaks English, Italian, Spanish and some French was amazed at the level at which I was able to understand, even if I couldn't respond except in the simplest of terms. But: those simple phrases made my needs known and I was able to be friendly and polite as well!
My boyfriend plans to review some of the more specific lessons to improve his Spanish too!
A definate 5 stars from me and I am recommending this podcast to everyone I know!
