It’s a very dated platform and a glitchy interface. The content is good and explained well but the problem is you think you’re buying a product which you are. You can then go on to buy more sections of the product like more books. What’s not made clear is that you’re only buying access to the product for a year and then access ends! This is fair enough on interactive apps but when you’re basically buying a spoken book it feels like a con tbh!

it's okay, but lots of typos that can be misleading. The big problem is that it expires and you are unable to see the information that you paid for. If I've bought it, I want to keep it. I want to learn at my own pace and be able to review it in the future.

I actually do like the content of Spanish with Paul and I have bought 3 courses. I should have known after the first one that their DESPICABLE business practices would make me sick. During a year, a lot can happen. I never finished any of them because in life S*** happens. Death, illness, caretaking, work etc. that prevent people from being on schedule according to SWP. I will NEvER spend another cent on this scam. I would have remained a great customer if not for the disgusting subscription nonsense. I’m glad other agree, I hope they wise up but that kind of disregard for customers is unlikely to change.

I recommend using madrigals. I tried language transfer, and another course. Paul provides excellent structure. Lots of homework but sometimes it was wrong . But way too complicated near chapter 6 and 7. plus your not going to say all this stuff. Using it during my cancer recovery so I put in 250 hours so far and starting 7.2

It’s ok, but it expires. The worst part is that you get swamped with offers for additional courses. I bought a few, which were terrible and served only to sour me on the whole experience. I decided to just let it expire.

The marketing involves elements deception and comes with a strong whiff of bait-and-switch. The promotional material claims his basic course will take you to "conversational fluency," but soon after paying for the course I received an ad saying the course would only teach you how to construct sentences but would not provide you with sufficient vocabulary. For that vocabulary you need to pay for yet another course. I felt like a rube being taken for a ride by a con artist. Well, if "conversational fluency" doesn't imply adequate vocabulary, what then does it mean? I asked them that and told them I thought I might want a refund. I got it. Quickly and without question. Of course, at that time I'd only logged on to create an account after the purchase and hadn't yet taken even the first lesson. Maybe they felt they hadn't lost anything, but at least the refund was fast. Now, where do I go to learn Spanish? DuoLingo is tedious and repetitive.

I am midway through the course Spanish with Paul.I do agree to a certain degree with other participants. I will tell you what i like, and then what i don't like. Likes: The way the course does it, they help you to remember the words. They have a learning technique that resembles Michel Thomas, Pimsleur, Paul Noble and the likes. If you faithfully go thru the sentences they supply, you are sort of conditioned to speak Spanish. It is straight forward. You get what you pay for. Spanish statements in chunks. What I don't like Consumers are required to finish the course in 1 year. What i refer to is the Premium course. It was initially offered at $199++. Then they send you an email to say that it is reduced to $99.So now we know where they are heading. There are mistakes here and there in the English spelling. Then i recall that they mentioned in their marketing words that there are mistakes in the wordings, and even then, their students still want them, and think that the words are useful. I have looked through the slides or presentation. Actually it's not too hard to correct and remove the spelling mistakes. It can be done. But they are just too lazy to do it. I asked them if the course comes with pdf notes. The impression that was given before i signed up, is that there are pdf notes. So i went in the course. I noticed that certain lessons, actually a minority of the lessons have pdf notes. So that means i have to complete the course and make sure I remember what i go through???Do i have a super memory? If you do not let me keep the video for the premium course, then at least give me a list of the words which we have gone through! Also, the emailing. Yes it's true they do not reply to email. I had some questions about some of the Spanish lessons being taught. i felt it was not clear. However, they simply did not want to answer my email. What i saw was, they selectively answer emails. Get what i mean? They answer emails that they think they have answers to. And then they choose to ignore some of the learning needs of the students.. So what is my score for them: 3/10 If they were willing to correct the spelling mistakes (which is not hard to correct!)Ensure that the language related questions were answered in a forum Provided PDF notes for everything that is taught. Kept their word that their Spanish teachers would answer the questions..(So far, there is no access to native speakers and Spanish teachers) I would have given then at least an 8 out of 10.Now can a person learn from this course? Definitely. But there are little bits of inconveniences along the way, which is the result of willful poor service. I had initially gone thru the course and hoped that my kids could go thru it. However, based on the abovementioned flaws...you would need to reconsider such an action. I appreciate this forum or comment section. And Spanish with Paul is sadly complacent. If only they would resolve these little issues, they would even be world class. However, they just choose the road that they are now taking. If its possible, i invite those who read these words to direct your friends to this website, and even copy (in context) the words I have written. Best is to direct them here to this website. Spanish with Paul needs to do something.
