Surefire Spanish Review

Rating: 73/100

Surefire Spanish is a completely downloadable course that consists of five different sections to help you learn Spanish. The course claims to know the secret to unlocking your talent for a new language and guarantees that it can get anyone speaking Spanish in no time. It does this by having the student focus on the top 1,000 Spanish words, use mental pictures, play memory games and employ the use of flashcards. Essentially the program makes the most of all the strategies you would use in school to prepare for a test.

Pros

• Affordable. The course only costs $37 which is much more affordable than other Spanish language programs.
• Simple. Surefire only focuses on the top 1,000 Spanish words, so you will be able to understand the basics and communicate essential topics on your next vacation.
• Good for beginners.

Cons

• Too basic. This course does teach you important words, but you won’t be able to fully understand the language without some further instruction on grammar and a longer list of vocabulary words.
• Only for Download. While there are five components that consist of a dictionary and flashcards, these are not hardcopies. You won’t really benefit from them unless you have a printer and lots of paper to print them out yourself.
• PC Only. This course, for some reason, is only compatible with Microsoft Windows, so if you’re one of the millions of Mac users you’re out of luck.

Special Offers

On the site, the program claims to be marked down from $97 to a low, one-time fee of $37. However, it is likely just a marketing ploy as the cost seems high for a completely downloadable course. There is no free trial or additional bonuses for signing up with Surefire.

Guarantee

Surefire Spanish offers a 60 day guarantee. They say if you are not completely satisfied with the course, you will receive a 100%, no questions asked refund.

Conclusion

While the price seems tempting at $37, this course does not seem to cover enough ground to make it a worthwhile expense. It might be good for total beginners who just want to learn how to order a beer on vacation, but for anyone who is serious about learning a new language, you would be better off buying a comprehensive course that covers all vocabulary and grammar. Plus, it’s nice to have different mediums to learn with such as hard copy books, audio and online tools and games.
