 Spanish Made Easy for someone who can't speak too well September 8, 2008
I actually do speak well in spanish, but I needed a few brush ups. I absolutely think this is the easiest and most user friendly book out there. My co workers always come in to use it. If you want to have something handy in case your stuck with your spanish than this is the one. Very user friendly and easy to understand.
Easy Spanish Phrase Book September 7, 2008
This book comes in handy when a quick phrase is needed and has easily understood pronunciations. I would recommend this book as a quick aid while learning Spanish or just to use as a daily referance.
A Handy Little Book! July 25, 2008
For the price, you get a lot of bang for your couple of bucks. Although this little book doesn't cover much material or grammar rules, you can use the ready-made phrases to make more phrases as you increase your Spanish vocabulary. This along with a Spanish/English dictionary helped me pass my introductory Spanish class when I had to write sentences in Spanish for homework. Some other reviewers didn't like it because the phrases sound touristy, overly formal or out-dated, but I would rather learn proper/formal Spanish before trying to master the colloquial. Besides, it is probably safer to use the more-formal Spanish when traveling. What if you get an idiom wrong trying to use the local dialect, offend the natives, and then who knows what may happen?! If you speak formally and get it wrong, the locals might be more forgiving because they'll figure that the gaffe was unintentional. Besides, it is unfair to critisize a $2.00 phrase book for sounding touristy when that is the main purpose for the book-- to help a vacationing English speaker communicate in a Spanish-speaking country. That's it's purpose, and that is just what it does, despite whatever gringo-isms it may contain. Since it is so cheap, it's not a big loss if you don't share my enthusiasm about it's worth (especially if you are going to buy other books anyway and qualify for amazon's free shipping). So whether you are going to travel to a place where the people "no hablan en ingles" or taking your first Spanish class, you should click on "add to cart" and buy it today!
Great helper July 24, 2008
I recently went to Costa Rica, and this book proved to be invaluable. I especially learned the phrase "tengo mucho prisa." :-) It is small and lightweight, but has many commonly-used phrases.
