This is the latest Spanish course developed by the Foreign Service Institute of the U.S. Department of State. This course was originally developed for intensive classroom instruction by U.S. government officials, diplomats, military personnel, FBI agents, DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) agents, CIA agents and other government personnel that must learn Spanish quickly prior to traveling abroad. However, the independent learner of Spanish that seeks an intensive self-study course can also use FSI Fast course Spanish effectively. In this version of the FSI Fast Course, the original recordings have been remastered for enhanced digital sound quality.
