Solid course but quite flawed

“Coming from someone who has listened to every episode, some multiple times...
Pros
1. By far the best best part of the podcast are the quizzing lessons where Timothy lays off with babbling on and on about random stuff.
2. The idea behind using the most popular words first is also innovative and I haven’t found anything else like it
However the flaws of this podcasts are pretty bad and almost make it unusable for me
Cons
1.) Timothy talks WAAAAAAYYYY to much. I’m listening to the podcast to learn Spanish, not to listen to this guy ramble on and on. Also he has several podcast dedicated solely to exposing some of his unsuccessful students that didn’t follow his plan word for word. I find that kind of childish and I honestly lost respect for Timothy because of this.
2.) the memory palace was absolutely useless. Maybe other listeners had success with the whole Joel story but I found it completely ridiculous. I understand that the stories associated with certain words are supposed to standout since that would in theory help with memory retention. However I thought they were cringy and comical at times.
3. The dialogues are decent however the flow of the stories are very forced. It seems like the creator of the dialogue was forcefully trying to insert certain phrases without regard to how they would work in a real conversation.
4. Timothy’s Spanish accent is not great and he shouldn’t be the model for the listeners to imitate. He narrates the quiz lessons and therefore he personally gives the correct answers. It seems counterintuitive that the listener model their speech after a non native Spanish speaker.
5. Half of the quiz answers are given in English. Personally this is the most frustrating part because it completely ruins the flow of learning.
6. The corny saying Timothy says after every podcast is really annoying and should be removed.”

“I have listened to the old podcast and the new podcast. I would say this is one of the best ways to learn Spanish. The focus on learning the most common words first and combining that with classical memory techniques makes this one of the fastest ways to learn a language. This program has been...”Read full review »

“I have listened to the podcast a few times and find that it is much better at retaining my attention than traditional classroom methods. Timothy explains things thoroughly without boring you. ;). I will continue to listen and hopefully learn quickly.”
