3.0 out of 5 stars I LIKE COGNATES !, October 6, 2000

ALPHABETICAL TOPIC LISTING IS VERY HELPFUL. I like to learn Spanish words as fast as possible and so do my students. Every week I use 10 cognates from this book as a quiz. It's fun to hear some of the guesses that are made. This book is a good and quick vocabulary builder.

I bought this guide while I was studying at the university and found it very helpful for improving vocabulary. This book should be required for beginning students of Spanish because there are over 20,000 Spanish-English cognates, making the vocabulary acquisition process much simpler than for non-western languages such as Chinese. I wish I had this book during my study abroad in Costa Rica, I would have learned much more and faster.
