5.0 out of 5 stars This book enabled me to learn and function in 12 months., July 6, 1998

This book was the essential piece of enabling me to learn spanish in 12 months. With manufacturing plants in Mexico, I needed to add Spanish to my English and French. This book enabled me to use 80% of all spanish verbs and all their tenses within 2 months. I have used this book in teaching spanish courses at my work and will vouch for its use.

This review is from: Complete Handbook of Spanish Verbs (Paperback)

I have three Spanish verb books: this one as well as Christopher Kendris's "501 Spanish Verbs" and Alfredo Gonzalez Hermoso's "Spanish Verb Manual." "The Complete Handbook of Spanish Verbs" was a real disappointment, and my least favorite of the three. It looks like oversized typewritten pages reduced to fit an already large 8 1/2 x 11 inch format, so the type is small and difficult to read and there is a tremendous amount of wasted white space (I wish Amazon.com would allow one to "look inside" this book, to prove what I am saying). But aside from the poor layout, the book is badly organized and frustrating to use, especially when compared to my favorite of the three, the "Spanish Verb Manual" by Hermoso, a great book that is half the physical dimensions but contains more information, is expertly organized and contains very helpful visual aids (color highlighting of specific persons and tenses of verbs that are irregular) which makes it is a pleasure rather than a pain to use. Interestingly, BOTH books are published by the same company (Passport Books / NTC), but "Spanish Verb Manual" by A. G. Hermoso is much better.

This is not the verb conjugation book I use most. BUT, if 501 Spanish Verbs does not have the word I am looking for, which is rare, this one probably will since there are more than 4000 verbs. Using this book is more difficult. It has certain words completely conjugated and then a list of other verbs conjugated in the same manner. Takes time to get use to looking something up.
