I downloaded the Latin American Spanish lessons and found them quite good. They weren't mere words, but rather sentences related to the topic of the lesson, by both a male and a female speaker. The only negative was that a few of the lessons were somewhat adult in their topic (e.g. useful phrases in a nightclub) and a few other lessons taught you to ask if your conversation partner smoked, or whether it was allowed to smoke. Frankly, I was planning to take these in the car to improve my Spanish.
