Customer Reviews

A Must.Have!
I bought this book in 1996 and then moved to Spain. Previously not knowing any Spanish but keen to learn, this 501 Spanish Verbs served as my 'Sacred Book'! Before long I was speaking the language correctly and using correct tenses which is important.I regularly referred to it-it being my constant companion! I recommend it enthusiastically to anyone who is serious about learning this wonderful language.

This is the language bible
I bought this book before moving to Spain and have found it invaluable. It has definitely become my bible. Its simple, easy to understand and clearly laid out. The most useful part for me has been the thorough explanations of verb tenses. I was educated in the english school system which did not cover grammer. This made the prospect of learning a new language quite daunting. This book has made the world of difference. If you are serious about learning Spanish then you should be serious about owning this book. Although it has 501 spanish verbs in it, there are undoubtedly some that you will need that aren't in there so I would advise buying in conjunction with a good dictionary

An essential reference work for the serious Spanish student
I have been studying Spanish for over 20 years now & am a fluent speaker if not writer. I have found this book essential for grammatical checks as well as verb conjugations, as it gives a very clear & complete guide to Spanish grammar at the beginning of the book. It is written in clear & non-patronising language which is easy to follow & understand. I'm never without it & my only complaint is that larger 1001 series is now seemingly out of print
