4.0 out of 5 stars Self teaching Spanish or want to challenge yourself ?, May 8, 2000

By	Centro de Idiomas,Cultura y Comunicación SA ... (La Paz, Mexico) - See all my reviews

If you want to teach yourself some Spanish or review your Spanish with simple grammar explanations: this is it! As a Spanish Language School we do recommend this book to students who want to improve or check their Spanish after a course when they're back home. We can also easily recommend it to anybody who wants to study by himself. Exercises are nice and you learn where your weak points are. Now careful: if you're a beginner you have to start with ... the second part!

2.0 out of 5 stars Before you buy, know there are errors, May 13, 2007

By	Theresa M. Romero (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One:
There are quite a few typographical errors in explanations, questions, and answers. Purchasers should beware. Possibly this edition is the last. If not, publishers should have someone go through it before publishing it again.

Two:
What bothered me most were these historical errors. No excuse for these:

Page 90.
10.) Benito Juarez was the head of the Reforma movement in Mexico 1857-1860 whereby more liberal leaders sought to make social reform in Mexico separating church and state. He did not fight to liberate Mexico from the French.

11.) FYI, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day.

Mexican Independence Day is September 16.

Three:
Content needs to be updated. Old fashioned terms like
Page 76.) telegrams

How about computers, email, and cell phones? It seems like the last couple of chapters were written more recently and were more modern.

Review Part II should be before Part I. It's backwards by degree of difficulty if you ask me. This is just an opinion.

Call me picky, but I hate to see errors in a book that is supposed to be a pre-test review.
