This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Spanish Vocabulary, 3ed (Schaum's Outline Series) (Paperback)

I bought this book for a continuing ed spanish class at the local community college, and I find it to be a great vocabulary builder. All the new vocabulary is organized around settings. So, for example, there is a chapter on words that would be useful to know in a grocery store in one chapter, or in a doctor's office in another chapter, etc.

This book is thoughtful and well-organized. It presents useful vocabulary thematically, which makes it relevant and easier to remember. There are sketches to help you remember the words. All in all, this is an excellent resource for anyone trying to learn Spanish. Highly recommended!

What do I want from a vocabulary book?

Groups of similar vocabulary grouped together. This book provides that.

My biggest complaint is the quality of the paper used in the book. It's like newsprint.

The illustrations are also very basic; just black lines on the newspaper paper.

If I'm going to spend hours looking at pictures and memorizing vocabulary words, I'd rather pay more and have nicer paper and color pictures.

This book does provide a decent selection of vocabulary words at an inexpensive price.
