the best book to learn how to speak like a native (almost...)

if you are looking for a book that will help you learn how to speak like a native (almost) then look no further. while you won't be able to sound completely like a native, this book will be able to help on your pronunciation of the sounds. this is my all time favorite book that i have came across during my spanish language studies. though the entire book is written in spanish, it can seem intimidating and overwhelming but it definitely help you improve your spanish reading skills. my favorite parts were those that featured the sounds and techniques and styles of the various regions that speak Spanish (Latin America and Spain). whether you are a beginner or not, this is a must-have book for anyone's library and serious about learning spanish

student

I was so upset with myself after selling back this textbook. It would have been a great reference as I took on learning Portuguese. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn to use and recognize dialects specific to regions within the Spanish speaking world.

Review comments by colleague

Theoretically sound, good exercises for transcription, also for pronunciation.
