Good but not great.
Opening conversation is great. Glad they dumped the tongue-twisters and replaced with jokes. Jose should talk less about what he is doing and just do it. And then, please Jose, spell out or pronounce slower the key phrase or two if they are tricky. Alba is a delight, a real change from the equally charming Kara of coffeebreak spanish. Best part of the show is still the host teaching. But I wish he did more quizzes like after lesson 5, or in 3a. What frustrates me the most with the new format is they say "It is showtime", but then you mostly just listen passively. Coffeebreak did a better job of getting me to speak and interact; I wish they would give more opportunities to practice speaking and gain confidence. The opening song IN ENGLISH?!? is incredibly annoying. Thank you for shortening it.Read full review »
