This review is from: Action Spanish for Law Enforcement: Spanish for Beginners (Bk w/CD) (Paperback)

I purchased this book for a friend as a graduation gift from the academy. It is very useful for study, especially with the CD. However, it not suited for field use as it is the size of a regular text book. I certainly recommend it however, purchasing an additional pocket guide for the street is a must.
