Fast-Track Spanish is a streamlined introductory course that provides deeper knowledge and more language practice than a brief course. Perfect for business people and travelers who don't quite have the time for a full course of study, it focuses on spoken language and covers a wide variety of subjects and situations. Explanations of grammar and usage are included when necessary for understanding of specific passages in the text.

Developed by professional linguist Dr. Peter Leimbigler, formerly of Malaspina College, British Columbia, Canada, Fast-Track courses emphasize concrete, everyday situations with a practical objective for all dialogs, sentences, and expressions. There are no lists of words or expressions to memorize. This course teaches Castilian (European) Spanish, but much of it is also applicable to Latin American Spanish.

About the Language
Spanish, the official language of Spain and most of Latin America, is a Romanic language that originated in the Castile region of Spain. It has more native speakers than any other language except Mandarin Chinese. The differences between Castilian and Latin American Spanish are comparable to those between British and American English, as such languages have evolved separately on either side of the Atlantic over the last few centuries.
