The book is set out simply and clearly. After 20 years teaching Spanish, it s not surprising that Meg knows her stuff. I looked in vain for pages telling me that the pen of my aunt was on the bureau of my uncle. Meg has stuck strictly to the basics, giving the traveller common vocabulary and just enough grammar for understanding. The spaces for notes on many pages are a great idea if you need a helpful local to jot down directions or the name of a food. Meg s phonetic key is based on English pronunciation. I learn to pronounce ¡Cuidado! (Look out!) as kwee-dah-doe . She encourages readers to create their own ideas in authentic Spanish and soon I am proclaiming to all and sundry that El inodoro no funciona. (The toilet doesn t work.) That phrase would have been so handy on earlier travels! I spend a rainy Sunday afternoon, reading and studying ¡Ahora Hablo! Seven Simple Steps to Authentic Spanish. I move from Speedy s andale and arriba to mastering several useful expressions and having a rudimentary idea of word order and pronunciation. Better still, I gain an understanding of how to use the book and where to find what I need. Meg Graham gives me the confidence and knowledge to get started in Spanish. --reviewarchives.tripod.com/id27.html
