In the past, I have owned my fair share of spanish guidebooks. Normally, I buy books that have exercises in them, as a way to practice the spanish language, not just look up a word here or there. But, this book would be good for a student in a class, or someone trying to learn on their own. Not only does it have many examples of many ways to translate certain words, (ie, to go out: salir "I'm going out to dinner." "Voy a salir a cenar." then afterwards, it says: to go off: dispararse "The pistol went off accidentally." "La pistola se disparo' accidentalmente.") it also has certain idioms as well. Example: to stand on one's own feet: independizarse--He is old enough to stand on his own feet: Tiene ya suficientes anos para independizarse. This book is great, for all levels of learning!
