Just Do It! learn words quickly and easily..
This is great... backed up with other learning materials, you get an expansive vocab quickly.

Now I have read one review for the Italian version, by the same author saying that it is a palaver learning the Italian word, associating it with and english word... this just demonstrates a severe lack of imagination, and brain power.

The method is simple, and with perseverence works wel.. Look at the word, and got with the scene given to you by the author to help you remember it.. Give it colours, smells, feeling and the more you do, the easier you will remember... if the scene given does not work, then choose your own... Think of it, picture it for 10 seconds, and then move on to the next. You will be amazed at how quickly you will create a large vocbulary tha you can use confidently...

So ignore the brainless, and get this book.. work at night in bed, and the words will still be there the next morning.. then when you speak the language, when you think of the english word you are trying to translate, the picture will be in your head in a flash, and you will utter it before you realise...

This technique is widespread, and used by magicians like Paul Daniels (who has also had a foray into Language courses) and also the SAS, for remembering information...

Good luck and enjoy!

Very good
A must for the absolute beginner.
I bought this book together with the CD and found it to be an easy and very quick way to start to learn the basics of Spanish. What a simple but effective way of learning, my only wish is that there were more CDs like this to buy to continue with the learning process.

Spanish by Association ( Link Word )
I brought this book knowing only a couple of words such as Hola & Adios but i now know lots of words and a bit of grammer IE: Masculine & feminine stuff. Its a good book for complete beginners like me, it makes a good base for starting to learn and i also brought the cd's that you can listen to whenever and the words really do stick in your head.
