Comparisons of Platiquemos with
other "self study" programs

There is a great deal of contrast among the Spanish self-learning programs that claim to be comprehensive, or to lead to "fluency".

I have written comparisons of some of them with Platiquemos, and will be adding others as they come to our attention.  If you are considering another program, or are just curious about it, please send us an e-mail and I'll add a comparison.

While I've made a serious effort to be objective, you should of course bear in mind the fact that these comparisons were made by the author of Platiquemos.  It would be very interesting to see similar comparisons of these programs with Platiquemos from the authors of these programs.  Up to now, though, there are not only no comparisons of these programs with Platiquemos, but no comparisons of any of them with others.
