Learn Spanish by Speaking (NLS Course) FAQ

The bottom line

The format is honest about its size: 12 story lessons and a set of audio files is a compact course, and EUR 21 for lifetime access is not expensive. The seller is fully identified and a free trial exists. What spoils it is the marketing. The three testimonials, Daria, David and Mario, are identical on the Spanish, Italian and French pages, and on every one of them Daria speaks French, David uses business Italian and Mario speaks Spanish, whatever course the page sells. Add promises of speaking fluently with ten minutes a day, and the claims cannot be trusted. Try the free sample before paying.
