Great way to learn a new language
I've always wanted to learn Spanish and thought this was a great way to learn while driving. The only thing I didn't like was, the Spanish part. It was a bit too fast or they could have repeated it slowly at the end of sentence so to hear The pronunciations correctly. Plus there are no pauses to repeat words. By the time you hear the sentence. The dialog has changed and your left with "what was that?"
