About Me I grew up in Madison, WI. I earned my BA in Classics (Latin and Greek) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, followed by an MA and PhD in Biblical Hebrew and Semitic Studies, with a minor in Arabic. I've published a number of academic articles, listed after this biography. After 9/11, I served for four years at the Top...
Very clear and concise. Although I am only at 35% complete, this very enjoyable and informative course is getting better the the further I go! I'm really having fun with Mr. Massey's "Next Stop: Spanish" novel that supplements his udemy course! It's right at my level, a very helpful resource and a fun read! Gracias Sr. Massey, for your help with my journey!
The course consists of nothing but vocabulary read in English and Spanish twice and a few trivial exercises. (The answer True is the correct one almost always.)
this is just like a dictionary of common words in spanish
I found the course simply the memorization of flashcards with no insight into grammatical rules or conjugations. Dr. Massey's NSA connection does not qualify him to teach IMHO.
This is just glorified flashcards.
Although this method of just listing words and phrases to memorize may work for some, I think it would be beneficial to your students to teach how to use them. This is not a way of learning a language.
Sorry Keith, but this method of learning is really bad. There is absolutely no secret here. You're explained it and expected to remember it. That's not a good way of doing it. Being shown the words and then being forced to use them is much better in my opinion.
