What's a good Spanish language course or other skill building course that I can listen to on my iPod while driving?

Rosettasttone

Pimsleur

“Other skill-building core“is too cosmic in terms of choices. For example. How to build a dry stone wall.Or how to do double-entry bookkeeping?

If there’s material that someone used that worked for them, I’d be interested to know their suggestion. I’m kind of open. This idea is one that I’ve never researched or tried.

Honestly, I’d track down some Spanish language music you like and learn to sing along. That’s what I’ve been doing with Norwegian anyways and I like it a lot more than conventional audio language courses. Apparently using the music part of your brain helps things stick and I like picking things up in context rather than the forced conversations in language courses.

Obviously it helps to have access to the written lyrics, though that’s really for when you aren’t driving ;)

My sister just reported back to me that she has been learning beginning Italian with tapes from Pimsleur. These lessons are, of course, now available on CD’s and for MP3.

She likes them very much and uses them while on the treadmill, but there’s no reason not to listen while in the car if it doesn’t interfere with your driving. And I would assume that the quality of the Spanish lessons is equally good.

Pimsleur is great. I’d recommend that over Rosetta stone for sure.
