_Aprenda Ingles Facil y Rapido_ is a very good learning tool for Spanish-speakers. The book has color illustrations and introduces vocabulary by topic. The vocabulary presented in the book is very practical and deals with themes such as restaurants, dry cleaners, store, food, etc. which all Hispanics living in the United States have to deal with.

I volunteer in an ESL program in AZ and have found this book very useful in several ways. The book is divided into topics (ie Finding a hotel, Let's order some food, etc.) and the vocabulary is often introduced in a short English story with 'difficult' words translated into Spanish below. As a non-Spanish speaker, this has helped me to be able to nod my head when students are discussing the meaning of a new English word amongst themselves. There are many pictures in the book to accompany new vocabulary. The majority of the exercises are done in English without translations provided. The directions, however, are given in Spanish. Although it is not a text we use in class, it has been helpful for creating additional activities and I would quickly recommend it to any student looking for support materials for independent practice.

This primer is perfect for the English-learning student who can work independently, such as a Spanish-speaking student who needs to miss tutoring classes or someone traveling without benefit of a large bilingual dictionary. Good practice exercises and logical, clear lessons are presented. Colloquial phrases are very helpful to the ESL student trying to use English on a daily basis.
