3.0 out of 5 stars Good Spanish Review but with Problems Dec 25 2010
By S. Scott Zimmerman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I ordered the Kindle version of this book and have read almost the entire book, or should I say the four main books included in this All-in-One. I purchased the book as a review of Spanish grammar, even though I am an advanced non-native Spanish speaker, having lived in Peru twice (once for two years and once for one year), and mainly I purchased the book as a Spanish phrase book to review phrases needed in the workplace. The book fulfills the goals for which I purchased the book.

So why only three stars? First, it has Spanish grammatical errors in the section on Education phrases and conversation. This totally negates the purpose of that section: to provide a pattern of good Spanish. For example it uses "¿Qué?" when it should use ¿Cuál? in several questions; it shows the negative familiar imperative as the positive familiar imperative by just adding "no" in front of the verb (one example: says "no molesta a los demás" instead of "no molestes a los demás"), and in some cases it uses the indicative when it should use the subjunctive (for example, "espera hasta que te toca" instead of "espera hasta que te toque." (I used a Google search to try to find an errata for the book, but I couldn't find one. The publisher really needs to take care of this.)

Second, many of the tables are unreadable on the Kindle without converting the display font to the smallest possible and switching to landscape view. This gets annoying after a while.

And third, the conversations (valuable otherwise) don't highlight the Spanish so if you are reviewing a particular conversation, it is hard to pick out the Spanish phrases from among the English translations and pronunciation guides.

In spite of these drawbacks, I would recommend this book to beginning or intermediate Spanish learners.

5.0 out of 5 stars good book Oct 26 2010
By Tom Sawyer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
this is a really good book. it has a lot of practical information in it. this book teaches you how to communicate in spanish, however it is in practical situations such as going to a bank, ordering food at a restaurant, calling for help, etc. it is not like the normal foreign language textbooks that have vocabulary words and ridiculous stories to translate that you will never be able to apply to everyday life. i am very pleased with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book! May 13 2011

I have had no training in Spanish what-so-ever but wanted to learn. This book is very simple to understand and put together in a logical, and easy to understand, order. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn Spanish! I also got the 1001 Most Useful Spanish Words (Beginners' Guides) & Easy Spanish Phrase Book: Over 770 Basic Phrases for Everyday Use (Dover Easy Phrase) (Spanish and English Edition) and have found these to be very helpful in my endevor to learn Spanish!
