Dear Kathie,
I would like to compliment National Dynamics on your Speed Spanish Programs.
The method is very unique and permits the learner to begin to formulate sentences without the necessity of conjugating verbs. In short order, the learner acquires a large vocabulary including idiomatic expressions.I frequently travel to Mexico. I am able to make myself understood and comprehend a conversation in a variety of situations. Mexicans are often impressed by my linguistic ability.
Please feel free to use my name to promote this excellent Spanish program.

Dear Kathie,

Thanks again for the tapes. My name is Lois Noyes. I am a legally blind senior citizen. I have attended a Spanish class at our local Senior Center for several years, - learning only the basics - grammar but no conversation, made this frustrating.

A blind student brought in your tapes and I learned more conversational Spanish in three weeks than in previous years.

Being disabled makes a regular classroom almost impossible. Your tapes have opened up a new world of learning for me. I no longer have to see. I can just listen. Living alone I can now communicate with my Hispanic cleaning lady, janitor and others. They no longer say, "No comprendo," which makes me smile.

I hope others, disabled or not, will use Speed Spanish tapes and benefit from them as I have.

Thank you.

Kathie,
"...after listening to just the first 4 tapes, I traveled to Italy and was amazed at how much I had retained. I now look forward to receiving my Spanish CDs. I love learning languages and have tried all the various learning methods available through local book stores. NONE compare to the simplicity of the Speed Series. I heartily recommend this system to anyone."

I have been an installer/repairman for the local telephone company for twenty eight years. the last 2 or 3 years several Spanish families moved into our area. When they have trouble with their phones, we have a problem communicating.

I always thought that Spanish was a beautiful language, so when I got a chance to study it I was overjoyed.

Dear Kathie,

I am so happy that I finally found your website. I am looking forward to receiving my Spanish learning CD's. I bought your Italian language tapes about ten years ago and found them to be the absolute best language learning system of ANY I have tried. After just listening to the first 4 tapes of the 8 tape set, I traveled to Italy and was amazed how much I had retained and how easy it was to carry on simple conversations with native speakers. Ten years later, I still remember most of the vocabulary that I learned through those tapes. I love learning foreign languages and have tried all the various learning methods available through local book stores. NONE compare to the simplicity of the Speed Series. I heartily recommend this learning system to anyone.

If they ever give out a Nobel Prize in Education, Dan Mikels (the creator of the system) should be the first recipient.

When I was in junior high school and high school trying to learn a foreign language (and learning practically nothing after 6 years, I used to believe the "myth" that people either do or do not have an affinity for learning a foreign language. Hogwash!! The public school system just doesn't know how to teach students how to speak a foreign language. Dan Mikels ingenious system of teaching a language by initially having a pupil NOT worry about conjugating verbs (and of course his "magic circle" technique) is the key to overcoming the difficulty of teaching a foreign language.

His system is so brilliant that I found I was actually able to READ in the language I was studying (Spanish,) without ever having seen the words I had learned in printed form in other words, just by listening to the tapes I was able to read the language later on.

What is also terrific about the tapes is the way that Dan Mikels and the native speaker of the language on the tapes communicate so that the student feels that he or she is having a 3-way conversation while listening to the tapes instead of the usual boring language tape method of repeating by role playing, random phrases that a taped speaker is reciting. With Dan's method, you actually have the sensation that Dan and the speaker are in the room with you. This has the result of making the learning process effortless and fun.

My only "complaint" is: When are you going to come out with CD versions of the tapes?
(Dave, we did that this year!)

I heard the radio ad for Speed Spanish, I thought what the heck... this sounds pretty good, had tried worse sounding ones and if I didn't like the program I sometimes got my money back. I really needed to brush up on my Spanish skills so I ordered the program. I was amazed, it was more than I thought it would be and it was easy to use. I learned a lot of new vocabulary it was very easy to follow along. I mostly used the tapes while driving back and forth to the office about thirty minutes to an hour each way, depended the on day of week and tourists in the area.

Before long I had caught up on about ten years of not speaking much except to order lunch in a Mexican restaurant. Without hesitation I can recommend that this program is a good program for a new, just starting Spanish to an old fossil like myself. Oct 31,2004

Dear Speed Spanish,

After my husband and I sold our pharmacy and retired we began doing volunteer mission trips to the outermost parts of the world. Quickly we realized how essential a second language was and we determined to learn Spanish. A year ago at 69 and 64 this was made possible when a Spanish speaking lady started a class at our church. Using the "Speed Spanish" format we are able to communicate by word and letter in Spanish with our new friends who speak no English. We felt blessed to have this opportunity and are thankful to Speed Spanish.

Sincerely,
Victoria M.

P.S. A special thanks to Kathie who always goes the extra step to help us with orders.

I am enjoying to meet weekly with the others to learn to speak and write Spanish. I had taken one year Spanish in high school which was a very long time ago.
One of our sons is a missionary in El Salvador for five years. He and his family had served three years prior to this time. My husband and I have visited them a number of times. We are not able to converse with the nationals which hinders communication, almost nil. I am hoping to be able to communicate with them in the future (better) not just in signs and smiles.

Conjugation of verbs seems to be the more difficult for me to learn. The Speed Spanish is easier and quicker to pick up.

Kathie,

For some time I have wanted to learn to speak Spanish for several reasons.

1. to be able to converse with natives of Mexico or other Spanish speaking countries.

2. Because I enjoy new challenges.

3. I believe learning increases ones memory and ability to think creatively.

Speed Spanish is an easy method that does speed up the process. eliminating the need to conjugate verbs when using the Magic Circle Strategy simplifies sentence construction. I especially like introducing new vocabulary in related groups such as beach, house, countryside and using visualization techniques.

We are very fortunate to have a teacher who speaks excellent Spanish, is kind and patient and makes it fun.

We also appreciate your prompt attention to our needs, such as additional books as well as your interest in our lives.

Gracias
Fran Hatley

After marrying into a Spanish speaking family I needed a quick & easy way to learn Spanish. After studying Speed Spanish for 3 months I went to Mexico - I was able to visit with the husband's family with confidence. Now I am able to teach a Spanish class and again after many years I am relying on Speed spanish.

Thanks to Speed Spanish,
Genice Leardiinez


Kathie;
I'd really like to express my appreciation for both the products and customer service of National Dynamics.
10 years ago, I purchased 2 levels of Speed Spanish and found them to be the most helpful tutorials I'd ever heard.
I was headed to Panama and needed to refresh my skills when I realized that I had lent my programs to a friend. He had lost a level! I reordered from National Dynamics and my products arrived promptly. My friend had also reordered and now I had two of the same level. Feeling that I would get no help I called National Dynamics and was surprised at the fact that they offered to exchange the duplicate program received with level 3 CD's in exchange for the duplicate level two casst=ette cassette version.
I could not have been happier. National Dynamics has an excellent product and backs it up with excellent customer service.
Thank you National Dynamics!
