Great book. You may want to buy the edition that has the CDs with it (Learn Spanish the Fast and Fun Way w/4 CDs). Overall the pace isn't too bad but I find they often throw a bunch of nouns in at once (like 10 in a section) and it may take me several days to memorize them before moving on to the next section. I wished the book would have covered estar and ser at the beginning...so far I have not seen anything covering it. However, it is still a great book for learning Spanish.
Best book to learn spanish
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
As a beginner of the language, I browsed in most of the Spanish teaching books in the bookstore, and I found this book to be one of the best spanish learning tool out there because of the following reasons:1. The pace is right, (many other books tries to teach too much too fast, while others teach too little too slow)2. Content is very interesting! Funny pictures in every page help me retain the vocabulary by visualing the word.3. Meaning and pronounciation is provided when a new word appears for the first time.This book definitely makes my learning FUN. Simply spend 15 minutes a day consistantly, and you'll find this an enjoyable learning experience. Plus this book is so well-priced when compared to some other hardcover textbooks! I like this book so much that I can't help but to come here to write a review. :->
Great Tool For Fast Vocabulary Acquistion
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Although this book primarly only using the present indicative of the verbs it really does help you build your vocabulary faster. A must for beginners and for those re-learning a language like me, this is still a cool tool to have. Jogs your memory rather quickly. A big help when used in conjunction with other learning materials!
Excellent book for a structured conversational class
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I have over 15 years experience teaching adults (of various language backgrounds) conversational English/Spanish and this is one of the best books I have used. However the language teacher must be well trained in teaching adults on HOW adults can acquire a second language in order to to use this book effectively.
