This review is from: Intermediate Spanish For Dummies (Paperback)
This is a good book, has hard assignements, but stick with it, and you'll actually begin to learn. Some of us required a great more help. But this book certainly has everything you need!

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent book; poorly edited, August 29, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Intermediate Spanish For Dummies (Paperback)
Having gone through about a third of the book thus far, I have already encountered more typos than I can count on two hands - not nitpicky typos, like a misplaced comma; substantial typos, like a misconjugated verb in the answer key. The profusion of such errors could be quite damaging to someone just learning the language or not diligent enough to double-check.

Otherwise, it's a decent refresher book, but I wouldn't recommend it in lieu of a real textbook or a class on the language. It's sufficiently broad and, for the most part, sufficiently deep, if occasionally providing superfluous information. (I already know what an idiom is, thank you. Can you teach me how to speak Spanish now?)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Intermediate Spanish For Dummies (Paperback)
This is perfect for those who are past Spanish I. It has easy to follow descriptions of how to use various points of grammar. Irregular verbs are laid out and you are able to practice different parts of grammar. It was well worth my money. So far, and I've bought a few, this is among the best to learn Spanish.
