Summary: Mediocre book
Comments: The book is average at best. It's cheap for a reason. I have learnt MUCH more thru the "Coffee Break spanish podcast on iTunes". purchased this as a companion book. As a companion this book is OK. however if i had purchased it as just the primary then i would have been disappointed. So use it along with other audio material and you will be fine.. Have not listened to the included CD. |

Summary: The Truth About Spanish for Dummies. Read on ....
Comments: Here is the bottom line about Spanish for Dummies. The great news is that the author at least attempts to simplify the learning of Spanish. The bad news is that it did not work. The book and the approach is overly 'gimmicky' and this detracts from the instructional value.
A much better option would be either Behind the Wheel Spanish II / 8 Multi-Track CDs /Complete 250 Page Illustrated Text / English Translations / Answer Keys & Tapescrip if you already have some background in Spanish. If not, the best beginning Spanish CD course on the market isBehind the Wheel Spanish/Complete Illustrated Text/Answer Keys/81Hour.
I am not saying Spanish for Dummies does not have value, however the programs I list above are far more strightforward, have 8 CDs per course and come with a complete no-nonsense book. All for $69.00 bucks. |
