Best Spanish language tapes/CD?
 
I took a bit of Spanish in high school and college, but that was a LONG time ago. We're traveling to Costa Rica in March and I'd like a refresher in Spanish. What are the best Spanish language for tapes/CDs for "tourist" Spanish?

Missypie,
I'll reply to your message because I want to bring it back up and I'm interested too.
I've been to CR in Oct and again in Dec and I can "baby talk" and mime my way around but I really need to learn the language.
Has anyone ever tried the "Superlearning" systems?

Try the Warren Hardy web site and his free Spanish language "games".
He has loads of on line material at various levels for sale as well.

For listening tapes we found Michel Thomas's to be BY FAR the best we tried. Even our 15 year old liked them! They get you going on conversation right away.

What is the address for the Warren Hardy website that Mikemo referred to? We will be going to Cancun next year for our 10th wedding anniversary and I want my husband to learn some Spanish. I studies it in high school and college and the language "games" that you refer to would be helpful for me to brush up on my skills.
