Customer Reviews

Much better than a generic ESL book.

I teach English to adult Latinos, and the generic ESL text (i.e., a book not designed for speakers of a specific foreign language) we were using earlier was just awful. My students really love using this book, and I can absolutely notice a marked improvement in their English. One caveat is that if you are an ESL tutor or teacher, you need to have a good knowledge of Spanish in order to make proper use of this text.

Perfecto!

I use this book with my Mexican boyfriend to better his SPOKEN English, and this book hits the nail right on the head. Although it's written by a "gringo", it is relatively free from grammar and translation mistakes. The style is good for the novice English learner and truly starts from one knowing NOTHING. The flow and progression of the book is more natural than some I have seen. We have finished the book twice and continue to use it for review and drills of vocabulary.

Ingles para Latinos

Very helpful and clear. I have ordered 75 copies so far in the last 4 months--students find it clear and useful.

Ayuda practical para los que quieren aprender Inglés

Soy maestro de Inglés como segunda idioma, y estudiante de otras idiomas. Me considera este libro unos de los mejores que apoya a la gente rapidamente platicar en Inglés. No solamente esto, pero tiene también un libro que funciona al reves; se llama "Spanish for Gringos" que apoya a los gringitos que quieren aprender Español. As a teacher of English as a second language and student of many languages, I consider this book one of the best to help brand new Spanish speaking students learn practical English phrases and skills. Not only that, for those English speakers who would like to learn more Spanish, I recommend the reverse book, "Spanish for Gringos."

An Outstanding Starter Book for Latinos Just Starting to Learn English!

[in spanish] Soy un gringo y ya hablo, escribir, y leer espanish con 95% fluencia, y aveces tengo que enseñar a los latinos que tenemos en nuestra fabrica, un pocos palabras de inglis para comunicar con los otro trabajadors que no hablan espanish. Y yo he encontrado esta libro ser magnifico y muy facil para aprender inglis. Los lantinos en nuestra fabrica les gusta esta libro muchismo. De todos los libros yo he encontrado y he revisado, esta libro es el mas mejor de todos. Si ya no hablas inglis, y estás serio en aprendiendo la idioma de inglis, yo recomendo esta libro 100% PD: ahhh otra cosa mas tambien, hay una segunda nivel a esta libro tambien. Que sigue con las ideas de esta libro, para aprender las formas de "estar". Por ejemplo para hablar de futuro, o el pasado. [in english] I'm a white guy who speaks, writes y reads spanish with 95% fluency, and at times I have to teach the latino workers that we have in our factory a few words of english in order to communicate with the non-spanish speaking workers. And I have found this book to be magnificent y very easy for them to learn english. All the latino workers we have in our workplace love this book. Out of all the books I have found and reviewed, this book is to be the best one out of them all. If you already don't speak english, and are serious en learning english, I recommend this book 100% PS: Ahhh one other thing. There is a second level to this book series. That continues on where this book leaves off, following the same ideas as this book, but for learning the different parts of "being". For example talking about the future, or or the past. In closing: I seriously recommend to anyone, just starting out to learn english, to purchase this book. Also to those who already speak english and want to brush up on their spanish, this book is a good learning tool as well.
