Customer Review: big mistake
YUK! I just recently started downloading mp3s and really screwed up when I bought this thinking it would be the Carlos Santana music I knew in the 60s. What else would "Ulitmate Santana" mean? Instead most of the album is just Santana accompanying some bozo singing stupid disco type songs. My bad. Remember, when it says "featuring so-and-so" it usually means you better like so-and-so and not care too much about who the titled performer is.
Customer Review: Great songs, but...
Carlos Santana has very few bad albums, or even bad songs. (Stay away from his collaboration with John McLaughlin though.) If you're looking for a one-disk compilation and are familiar with his later songs plus his late 60's hits, the songs here will be familiar. But... try Caravanserai, Borboletta, or some of his other unbelievable albums from "in between". If this is all you know of Carlos Santana, you have a lot to discover! What you hear on this disk is just an introduction. I give this review 4 stars rather than 5 not because there are bad songs on this CD (there aren't), but because you, as a Santana listener, deserve more.

If you have decided to learn a foreign language, why should you choose Spanish? There are plenty of good reasons for learning the Spanish language, not least of all because it is relatively easy for English speakers.

Many words in Spanish have the same origins as their English counterparts and in fact over two thousand words are more or less the same, with just slight variations in spelling. In fact, there are a few rules and once you've learned those, you will immediately have a vocabulary of over two thousand words in Spanish, which is impressive.

Word order in Spanish also tends to be similar to English word order and this makes it much easier to understand complete sentences and to build them yourself, both in written and spoken Spanish.

Spanish spelling is pretty straightforward and once you've learned pronunciation, most words are written the way they sound. This is much easier than English spelling, which is complex and doesn't seem to be at all logical!

Spanish pronunciation is relatively easy for English speakers and is especially easy for people from Ireland and Scotland. Grammar is easier than French grammar and so should not cause too many problems if you've already studied French.

Spanish is also one of the major world languages as it is spoken in many countries of Latin America and so is important in the business world. If you are looking for an international career, Spanish is one of the best languages you could learn. Fortunately, the differences between the Spanish spoken in Latin America and that spoken in Spain are not so great that they will cause many problems.

Spain has become a popular destination for British people, not only for holidays but also as a place in which they can retire or set up a business and enjoy the good weather and the advantages of the EU. So, anyone from the UK wanting to live and work abroad can enjoy a warm climate without moving too far from home. If you do plan to work in Spain, it is important to learn the language and there are plenty of classes on offer in the UK.

In the US, Spanish is widely spoken, making it the obvious choice as a second language and the proximity of Latin America offers a wide range of opportunity for both taking vacations and working abroad. Entrepreneurs can also target Latin America with their products and services.

So, Spanish is an excellent choice if you want to learn another language. Discover the best way to learn Spanish by visiting my website.
