great books to get you in the door

ByPomaion August 5, 2004

Format: Mass Market Paperback

This is a great little book which I am using to learn Spanish so that I can communicate with a friend who speaks very little English. I know some French which is also in the Romance language family, so this has been really easy to pick up.

Because all I wanted was to quickly learn some basic vocabulary and make simple expressions, this little book was perfect, especially for those of you who also have a short attention span and never finishes a thick self-study language book.

The teaching approach in the book is very unique. For instance, you will first learn that "voy al" means "I'm going to (some place)", then you will see the phrases in spanish for "I'm going to the hotel", "I'm going to the bank", "I'm going to the market", etc, and in a minute you will have learned the basic expression for going somewhere, and some vocabulary for names of places. Then the book provides you will a list of drills will new vocabulary. It's very quick and useful.

Really excellent! Probably the best there is and good price!

ByR. ShahidiAzizabadion January 4, 2007

Format: Mass Market Paperback

I bought this book this past weekend while meandering around a local big name bookstore, while looking at the Spanish language books i was so frustrated because of the high prices on almost every book in print! I stumbled upon this little gem and was quite surprised by its novelty...its definetly from the 60's, kinda old fashioned, very insignifigant looking and super inexpensive BUT it IS a TOTAL gem and im SO glad I bought it.

I lived in Southern California for a long time and ofcourse had to pick up basic conversational Spanish just to get along, its been about 6 yrs since I left that area and ofcourse my Spanish skills went down the drain from lack of use. I have a few other really good Spanish books, but you know, it can be tedious at times working with them because of the long word lists, intense verb conjugations from the get-go or the annoying "tourist" coversations they expect you to memorise. Hence i pretty much put them away and forgot about them for quite a few yrs.

This book is NOT that!

This book does NOT focus on "touristy" phrases or anything like that and there isnt anything very daunting or intense about this book. I think pretty much anyone could use this book and understand whats going on.

Its refreshing how you can do a short lesson, how ever many pages you want to do and not really have to commite to some intense study regime, so its great if your a busy person.

In a nutshell, while it might look simple and insignificant...dont let appearences fool you...this book totally rocks, i'd suggest this book FIRST for someone who wants to refresh their spanish or are a brand new, newbie to Spanish. You wont get frustrated.

The ONLY drawback is you have to know how to pronounce certain Spanish sounds, there is a sound chart and thankfully, Spanish unlike French or English for that matter is pronounced in a pretty straight forward manner...and its pronounced how its written and vise versa so just alittle bit of outside work on your pronounciation might be useful but other than that...i reiterate...this book ROCKS!

Simple and to the point!

ByA customeron June 2, 2001

Format: Mass Market Paperback

This book taught me more than my high school spanish class! In school I just couldn't grasp all the grammer rules and so forth. I figured I just wasn't capable of learning another language. After relocating to Texas and now living in a metroplitan community with many Spanish-speakers I decided to try once again.I bought numerous books and tapes that either confused or bored me so I didn't continue my Spanish studies....until I picked up Margarita Madrigal's little book. At first I thought it might be juvenile and a bit too easy....well it was easy,....and it worked! I was remembering without really trying! This little book got me hooked. I picked up her other book- "Madrigal's Magic Key to Spanish". My Latino coworkers were and still are impressed with how fast I am learning Spanish. I also bought an audio Cd to help with my pronunciationn - "Pimsleur." Another great course - although a bit expensive. I still refer to See it and Say it in Spanish. It's a great book.

Helpful for Beginners

Bydee mazuron June 25, 2015

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

This little book is great for beginners, and would also be good for a child. It is basic, simple, easy to follow, and pretty comprehensive. I am currently taking an audio course in Spanish, and this book adds a visual dimension that I obviously don’t get with audio, providing another channel of reinforcement. It contains a pronunciation guide that explains how to pronounce letters that deviate from how they are pronounced in English. A “handy word guide” is included which provides vocabulary and simple phrases used in common situations. It also lists in Spanish: numbers, days of week, months of year, seasons, family members, colors, and body parts, all good to know. It then goes into a “grammar” section where “ar”, “er”, and “ir” verbs are explored, including how to use the verb with different pronouns, and different tenses. If you study these long enough, you will notice the pattern and begin to apply the principles on your own with other verbs. Finally, there is a Spanish-English vocabulary section which makes for a handy reference. The book is a good place to start for those with no background in Spanish, or as a brush-up for those who may have studied Spanish at one time, but have forgotten most of it.

Teaches the basics well

ByAmazon Customeron November 2, 2016

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a good book for learning the basics quickly. It has exercises after each lesson to let your translate from English to Spanish. This would've been an awesome tool to have while I was taking Spanish classes. I've learned more from this little book in a week than I had from my Spanish class. It breaks everything down easily, and shows you have to put sentences together, and interpret meaning. In the beginning it has a pronunciation list of each letter, which I found very helpful. I hate it when I pronounce a word wrong. For the price, you can't go wrong.
