2.0 out of 5 stars Keep Looking..., July 28, 2006

(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.
