If only this woman had taught at my school
As someone who often decides to do things on a whim, I have a plethora of language teaching books, tapes, CDs and CD-roms littering my house, covering everything from Mongolian to Mandarin. With most of them I'd do two units and then got disheartened or bored or both, and because there was little chance to practise I found that if I left it more than a week I'd forgotten everything.

But this book made it a genuine joy to learn Spanish. I couldn't wait to get home from work every night to do another chapter. You get to write all over it which really forces you to concentrate and helps you remember. The author has a real gift for simplicity. She introduces everything so gently that it would almost be patronising if it were not so charming. It may be called a verb practise book, but other vocabulary is slyly slipped in along the way so that without noticing it you've suddenly acquired the ability to write a whole story!

I was able to read whole chunks of the paper in Peru thanks to the [money] I invested in this book. I could not recommend it more highly.

Practice definitely makes perfect
After having owned this book on spanish verbs for about 3 weeks i can honestly say it is the most clear, easy and concise learning guide i have ever purchased.From beginning to end i, and my girlfriend, had absolutely no problems what so ever, also the book was a lot of fun which made easier learning and understanding.Learning verbs in any language can be both tricky and boring but, with this book no problems!.If you want to learn spanish verbs, and have fun doing it then buy this now!

Excellent!
This is a workbook with which you can master the spanish verbs which are the 'skeleton' of the language. I worked through it having never done any spanish. It is clear and concise and also quite entertaining. So much better to do on the train than a crossword or sudoku! The language is broken down and carefully explained. I also recommend her book of pronouns and preposistions (the red one). I think they'd work well used together actually.
