The best I have seen to date! This thick Spanish grammar book is more advanced than most reviews (intermediate to advanced) and presents materials in a little different way, making the grammar principals easier to understand and remember. Specific areas of grammar that were "fuzzy" to me before are now much more clear! The text and exercises are definitely not boring. Don't forget to purchase the Repaso Answer Key book so you can check your answers and correct any errors.
Best Review Book for Spanish
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I am a high school student who found regular Spanish not challenging and needed something to help me from losing my Spanish and enforce skills, so I was recommended Repaso from several people. I find that it is the best thing to help review. It is easy to follow and understand. Although I do find myself looking a word here and there, that is normal. I think that it may be better than most Spanish books. It has lots of exercise that will help you to learn to conjugate verbs. I just wish it had more vocab practice. Very Useful if you want to review Spanish or learn it.
Excellent book!

I used this book during my year in AP Spanish class. My Spanish teacher suggested that we buy this workbook for class, and it was the best suggestion she made. Even though I'm not in high school anymore, I still use this book in order to review grammar from time to time. This book has everything, including a section on Hispanic culture. I found the section on verbs expecially useful, and there is a Spanish/English vocabulary list in the back. The book has almost 600 pages, but do not let the size of it scare you! It's an excellent value and will help you to review or to learn Spanish. I just wish I had this book during my second year of Spanish!
An Incredible Value

"Repaso" is a complete review of the grammar of the Spanish language, written in a clear and engaging style. It is organized in such a way that accessing information about discreet grammar points is very easy. I head an organization (Platiquemos - Let's Talk) that teaches Spanish to adults; we have found "Repaso" to be so valuable that we are cross-referencing our own texts so that students who want or need more grammar information (we stress communication) can easily find it.The best news about "Repaso", though, is its almost unbelievably low price. It offers more valuable information than texts with prices six, seven, or more, times higher. It is, in short, an incredible value.
An Excellent Text for Review and Learning!

I started taking Spanish my senior year in high school, and I wished to go at a pace faster than the first year level of spanish. One of the books we used in the class was Repaso, the workbook grammar version. I found the book so thorough in its examples, and so helpful in its explanations of the grammar. It treated the rules for formation of verb tenses so well. I found that after I studied to the book for only a short while, I had full command of all the verb forms and learned many rules for predicting irregularities in verbs. I tell you that this book is an invaluable refernce tool. I learned all my spanish from this book, and turn to it whenever I have a question.
