Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: The almost all entertaining language book you will ever read!!
Comments: I recently purchased another copy of this book as the 1st1has fallen to pieces from much use. It's not your typical language text and not for rank beginners however it certainly gets the points across in an easy and often humorous manner. The lack of an index is a minor annoyance, and who has ever died from having to flip through the pages of a book? |

Summary: wonderful read of spanish grammar/usage
Comments: Perhaps the only book dealing with spanish grammar I enjoyed reading. The author does a wonderful job of not bogging down in technical jargon while instilling the difference between knowing the technicalities of a language and being FLUENT in a language. It was profoundly helpful!!!! |

Summary: The Best Spanish Reference Book for Middle to Advanced Speakers
Comments: This is a book that I have been searching for. almost all of the books I have come across only give "stiff-sounding" vocabulary and idioms. The author of this book seems to be someone similar to me in how I learned Spanish; 10 years of school and college and then going to Spanish speaking countries and dating Spanish women. He is great at explaining a lot of things that are culture related. For example, the difference between "nice" and "not so nice" people in Spanish are differentiated as buen educado and mal educado.
What I hate about almost all Spanish/English dictionaries is that words are not necessarily translated properly and I noticed that reverse lookup from the Spanish and the English sections sometimes do not correlate (saca puntos, which is pencil sharpener is incorrectly translated in the English section of many dictionaries to corta lapices). What I really find more valuable at my level is a Spanish dictionary with Spanish translations. This book is a valuable as that type of dictionary.
So far this is the best book I have found for my level of Spanish.

Summary: Spanish book
Comments: My son is serving a Spanish speaking mission for our church. He is wanting to improve his Spanish and has asked for my help. He told me this book was endorseed to him. He has thanked me for all the help I have sent him, so I assume this is a great help. |
