4.0 out of 5 stars Great way to practice other languages, July 23, 2004

By	S. D Haynie "girlranger" (carlsbad, nm United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great, easy, relaxing way to keep up your already advanced Spanish. It might also be a good way to greatly improve your intermediate Spanish. Keep a dictionary and a notepad handy for those new vocabulary words. Or don't. After a little while of recording new words, I finally quit and just read for the pleasure of it, deciphering words by context. Sometimes I grabbed the English version to check a phrase. That worked well, too. In short, for use as a language builder and confidence builder, I highly recommend this book to you. However, if you're hoping to comprehend the complexities of grammar, there are just enough strange turns of phrase in this book that I would say this is not your first source for grammar lessons.

1.0 out of 5 stars Exelente libro - Pesima traduccion, April 11, 2005

By	Manuel Medina "el otro" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Nunca se deberia traducir palabras como "embarrased" a "embarazado". No tiene sentido. Le quita la dicha a uno de leer este libro. Lo compre para leereselo a mi hijo pequeno y tengo que siempre cambiarle las palabras "al vuelo" para que las oraciones tengan sentido. Una lastima que una obra tan buena se feamente desmejorada por la pesima traduccion

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for non-native Spanish speakers!, June 10, 2002

By	S. A. Cain "librarian" (Indiana USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal (Hardcover)

I studied Spanish in high school and university. I am far from a fluent speaker, though I don't think I'd get myself killed wandering around in Mexico or Spain. Having read all of the Harry Potter books in English many times, I decided to give this a try to brush up on my Spanish skills. I am only about 50 pages into it (reading Spanish takes me a lot longer than English!) but so far I am enjoying it immensely. Of course, it helps that I know what is happening, but that has also helped me with my understanding of the Spanish. I've really enjoyed this experience.
