having been through several introductory spanish books this one rates pretty highly, especially as a companion to some of the more common titles, the approach is quick and clear. it covers a lot of material, in a fairly typical format, example passges, then break downs of each point covered, it doesnt become to bogged down in vocabulary, and the dictionary at the back is a little incomplete, there are more than a few words for which an accompanying dictionary is neccesary. The book ploughs very well through verb forms and grammar points, and each chapter revolves around a common topic.
sits well as part of a spanish introduction in conjunction with other books ect.

Disappointing: compared with the Collins 'Easy Learning' series, much less helpful in grasping meanings and developing vocabulary. Little repetition of phrases, so hard to tell what is said or to remember.

I like this type of language book because it teaches the language in a systematic way, each layer slowly building onto the previous one. The exercises are useful and help to reinforce learning. I imagine this book might not be best suited to some younger people unless they like learning in the systematic way of a previous generation. However, if one takes the time and effort to work through this book a good understanding of the language should emerge with apposite use of grammar and modern usage of words and phrases. I found that I was quickly able to use Spanish in a correct way in letters (albeit on a small scale). It was a much more useful book than the one I currently use at nightschool, that seems more geared to young people and their social contacts. While I appreciate that language teaching has to 'move with the times,' sometimes this seems to be at the expense of a good grounding in grammar. 'Colloquial Spanish' addresses this problem and balances the needs of an older generation with the needs of the young.

A beginners book, but not for beginners.
When I first started learning Spanish I must have read through 8 books for beginners. This one I found too difficult at first. Read more

English-Spanish or Irish-Spanish?
Several things put me off this course with its accompanying cds. Most of all, the teacher's very strong Northern Irish accent - I cannot comment on her Spanish one - is... Read more
