Below is a side-by-side comparison of three of the most popular Spanish courses available online. All these Spanish courses are available for immediate download or on CD, and most cost $99 or less.
Over the last few years my wife Kim and I have tested more than 20 Spanish courses with our students. Below is a tabular form summary of the three Spanish courses our students like best, with three of these in the under $100 category. Of these courses, Learning Spanish Like Crazy 2 consistently receives the best feedback (probably because it is the most fun course of the bunch). Synergy Spanish is the simplest course and offers the most direct route to achieving basic Spanish communication in the shortest possible time.
