This review is from: Manual of Business Spanish: A Comprehensive Language Guide (Languages for Business) (English and Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

This book is great. This book is not big. But not tiny either. very very comprehensive. The great thing about this book is that you learn because your reading the book aloud. Moreover, I love the organization of the book. Every 2 pages opens with the English dialogue on 1 side with the Spanish translation directly on the other page. Hence, you not flipping through pages to refresh. Also some dialogue reuse some phrases so after a while of reading from English to Spanish, I found myself reading through the Spanish without looking at the other side of the page. Awesome!!!!!

Lastly, it works great for understanding business language as a big part of my job is working with fellow employees based in Mexico.

very good and affordable book. Hope you make additional languages.
