3.0 out of 5 stars No Answers Given Here, September 26, 2003

Polyglot (cambridge, ma) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Repaso: A Complete Review Workbook for Grammar, Communication, and Culture (Paperback)

Although I agree that this book is certainly a bargain when compared to the standard textbook options that often cost 3-4 times as much, I was disappointed to find that no solutions to the exercises are provided. One must purchase ANOTHER book before the exercises in this book can really be said to be useful. I am a firm believer in immediate correction when it comes to language review and acquisition--spending time on exercises without knowing which you did wrong will only reinforce what are your misunderstandings of grammar. However, if you are willing (and able) to buy the solutions manual along with this book, then it will make a good review--though it won't be the bargain that it at first appeared.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Incredible Value, February 9, 2000

This review is from: Repaso: A Complete Review Workbook for Grammar, Communication, and Culture (Paperback)

"Repaso" is a complete review of the grammar of the Spanish language, written in a clear and engaging style. It is organized in such a way that accessing information about discreet grammar points is very easy. I head an organization (Platiquemos - Let's Talk) that teaches Spanish to adults; we have found "Repaso" to be so valuable that we are cross-referencing our own texts so that students who want or need more grammar information (we stress communication) can easily find it.

The best news about "Repaso", though, is its almost unbelievably low price. It offers more valuable information than texts with prices six, seven, or more, times higher. It is, in short, an incredible value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Repaso, Complete Review Workbook For Grammar, February 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Repaso: A Complete Review Workbook for Grammar, Communication, and Culture (Paperback)

The best I have seen to date! This thick Spanish grammar book is more advanced than most reviews (intermediate to advanced) and presents materials in a little different way, making the grammar principals easier to understand and remember. Specific areas of grammar that were "fuzzy" to me before are now much more clear! The text and exercises are definitely not boring. Don't forget to purchase the Repaso Answer Key book so you can check your answers and correct any errors.
