Answer Question
Driving and Latin American Spanish
First of all I'd like to say I really like this system. I spent a month in Mexico and used this program to cram in advance, doing 2-3 sessions most days. (even though you recommend 2-3 per week) I fell out of the program for 4 months following my trip but found I retained almost all of it when I got back on board, so you must be doing something right.
My only major suggestion with Latin American Spanish, since it's mainly directed at Americans and tens of millions of us are within driving distance of Mexico, is that driving vocabulary and information be brought in sooner. I had to do a bit of self-study on this, but my self study + Fluenz made that part of the trip go pretty smoothly. (once I figured out Mexico's map-dependent highway system!)
Things like manejar, topes, speed-related terms, libre, and cuota particularly come to mind, especially the last two since the cuota (toll) roads are multiples faster (and less bumpy) than the libre (free) routes.
That's all. :)
