World’s Best Spanish Course now available in 8 levels

Lucas Language Production announces publication of the new and improved Platiquemos basic Spanish course. Platiquemos is based on the renowned Foreign Service Institute course. This is the first major revision of the original FSI course in over 45 years.

Don Casteel, a former Foreign Service Officer and graduate of the Foreign Service Institute in several languages, has made extensive improvements and revisions. The course is now available in eight substantial but manageable levels, totaling over 1350 pages of text and 54 compact disks or audiocassettes.

Some of the key improvements and features of the Platiquemos course are;

·New Audio with 18 voices, largely recorded at the Cuernavaca Language School in Mexico

·Audio augmented to facilitate self study

·Over 500 illustrations with culture notes

·Music is now included in level one

·Updated and revised content

·Improved explanations

·Now available on CD audio or tape and in 8 levels

Lawrence Eagleburger, former Secretary of State says "I am a firm believer in the Foreign Service Institute's Spanish language program. I took the course early in my Foreign Service career, and thanks to the quality of the teaching methods used, was able to go from no competence in the language to an almost bilingual facility in only a few months. I know of no method of teaching a foreign language that even approaches the quality of the FSI program."

Platiquemos is the only course designed for both self-study and classroom use. Several schools have recently adopted the Platiquemos course as their primary medium of instruction.

Each of the 8 levels of the Platiquemos course consists of a textbook and a set of 6-8 compact disks or audio-cassettes. The course is also available in digital format, which enables placing an entire level on one compact disk, at a considerable saving to the customer. Platiquemos is distributed by http://www.multilingualbooks.com, the TravLang language store, Amazon.com and the Foreign Language Bookshop of Australia.

The author of the Platiquemos course is available for telephone interviews. Please contact Kenneth Tomkins at Lucas Language Production on 206-369-8242 or info@multilingualbooks.com to arrange interviews.

Platiquemos is available from http://www.multilingualbooks.com and other fine stores.
