Book Description

0764178954 978-0764178955 April 14, 2006 Pap/Com
This completely interactive language learning course is designed for students who want to learn Spanish but prefer to teach themselves rather than participate in a formal classroom setting. The attractively boxed language package contains a textbook presenting grammar and vocabulary basics with learning exercises. Included with the book are four audio CDs, three of them presenting dialogues and exercises, and the fourth focused especially for travel situations in Spain and Latin America. The course concentrates on proficiency in speaking and understanding Spanish in the context of informal conversations, travel situations, making purchases, and verbally finding one’s way around in international settings. It is an ideal introduction to Spanish for business and vacation travelers. The book is heavily illustrated with color photos and illustrations, as well as hundreds of question-and-answer exercises.

    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: Beginner's Self-Study Course: Spanish (Beginner's Self-Study Language Courses) (Paperback)
    If you are looking for a good beginners Spanish language text, keep looking. This book presents under the umbrella of Barron's which is a solid name. This one, however, lacks the two "C"'s: cohesion and clarity.
    The package comes with a study guide, a companion book and four CD's. Unfortunately, when you put the study guide and companion book together, you get nothing but confusion. You need to keep switching between books, exercises do not seem to match and on the CD you are not given enough time to respond to the words or phrases.

    The book does have some positives. It is attractively packaged and the study guide is colorfully illustrated.

    As an alternative, may I suggest the first text I completed. Frank Zambrano's "The Everything Learning Spanish Book" was very helpful. I paired this with a basic audio program and loved it. And it had the two "C"'s: cohesion and clarity.
