Customer Reviews

Really helpful Spanish course
I bought this book with very little previous knowledge of Spanish, but I found it instantly accessible. It does expect you to revise by yourself and go over the things you have already learned; unlike some quick fix spanish courses, it does not reinforce everything ten times over. You have to be committed to learning the language, but if you are, it is incredibly helpful. You can go as fast or as slow as you like, and all the tools are there for you to get a really sound knowledge of the language - spanish-english dictionary, english-spanish dictionary, grammar set out neatly and clearly with all verbs and tenses explained, a variety of accents on the audio. It is very good value for money and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Excellent for beginners to learn Spanish
I have looked at many books for learning Spanish and this one is the best. It allows the student to pick up all facets of the language simultaneously: speaking, understanding, writing and grammar knowledge. There is an accompanying CD or cassette to help with speaking and understanding and the grammar and structure is introduced when appropriate so you know exactly why you are saying what you are saying.

I find it excellent for both writing and speaking.

Best introduction I've seen
I agree with the first reviewer. I considered a number of books and this was the best I've found. It's easy to use, fun, and it works. Make sure you get the CD (or tapes) as well, though.
