As an absolute beginner of Spanish, I was attracted by this book when I saw its no nonsense approach and useful phrases. Unlike most other books, which merely focus on "holiday" or "business" language, in this book you find the useful everyday Spanish.
I bought this book without the CD and it shows you how to do the pronunciation so that was not a problem. I am two and a half months into the course now and cannot wait to finish because I know I will have a really good standard of Spanish to continue.
Everything is explained with examples, so if the explanation is a bit too long-winded it doesn't matter.

I like this book for its structure. For example you actually see the Spanish alpahbet early on, and it presents grammar clearly and simply. Yes you need to remember basic grammatical ideas from school, but I find the no-nonsense approach helpful, unlike BBC books with too many pages of cheesy pictures, immediate immersion in random dialogues, and dumbed-down content. I've already learned a little Spanish, and the book is helping me to consolidate. Maybe it's best used alongside other sources.

I've tried a number of various learning tools to help improve my Spanish but this is definately my favourite to date. The book itself is structured clearly into "learning weeks" where you need to ensure you learn the chapter thoroughly before progressing on to the next week. I have found that it has helped me be more thorough and has tempered my enthusiam to learn everything at once. If I am not convinced I have learnt something throughly enough (easily monitored by using the different exercises at the end of each week) then I stay with the same chapter until I am sure I understand. The key to using this aid is don't necessarily stick to the weeks. If it takes longer than a week, then fine, you'll remember everything. However don't cut it shorter, it won't do you any good by doing so. The cds are also very useful as a supplementary aid to the book in order to improve your pronunciation. They have some English on them to get you started but as the book indicates, use them when you understand the details in the book. I would recommend this to anyone looking to start learning and those who need help with their verbs.

Great
If you want to really learn Spanish and learn how to put sentences together rather than simply remember top phrases, this book is for you.

Not a beginners choice!!
I have used various Spanish courses and I can speak fairly good Spanish but this book is about the worst I've seen labelled as a "Beginners" book. Read more
