Customer Reviews
Some exercises are rooted in US culture, but just ignore them as there are plenty that aren't. Most of the vocabulary you will never use, but the examples do use common words more frequently.
Highly recommended and a steal at the price.
The book makes the learning of vocabularly stimulating and takes it away from simple, repetitive memorizing of single words. Richmond absorbs the learning of vocabularly into the learning of verbs, pronouns and prepositions.
In this way, you should improve your lexicon whilst also improving your all-round knowledge of the language. Typically, the book will present a box of vocabularly on a particular theme (for example, foods), and then provide an exercise where you will form a basic sentence using these themed words.
The book is broken down into 10 distinct chapters, which makes it easy for a learner to set themselves clear objectives before they begin the work. The actual presentation of the excercises is impressive and with the book being a chunky paperback, there is plenty of room to write things down on the page.
All in all, an effective book for improving your spanish and another great addition to a contemporary and refreshing series.
I would suggest that students start with this book before moving onto others in the series.
You can't learn a new language without the effort.
