Note: CD–ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.



From the Back Cover

Whether you need a quick primer for an upcoming trip or want to build on a basic understanding of the language, Spanish For Dummies can help. But the book is more than just a language text full of cool phrases and useful vocabulary - it's also a cultural guide for those moments when you really need to know how and why things are done.

Part of what makes this book so valuable is its whole-language approach to Spanish. Instead of burdening you with endless vocabulary lists and tricky grammar rules, Spanish For Dummies gives you the tools to take your Spanish on the road. Focus on everyday situations and hone your small-talk skills that help you with basic communication in Spanish. What's more, the authors have scattered throughout the book titbits that contextualize the language so you understand the people, places and things that are unique to Spanish-speaking cultures.

An audio CD enables you to hear Spanish as it's really spoken by presenting dialogues between native Spanish speakers.

5.0 out of 5 stars It does what it says on the cover!, 1 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Do not be put off by the title. I have bought many books trying to teach me spanish. I have finally found one that works.

Most of the other books that I have bought I found to be confusing and not explained spanish from as much of a basic level to which I needed to learn. It also explains conventions within the book better than any other I have read. No more thinking "What does the 'bv' in the pronounciation bit sound like?".

The most important part of all is that lots of things are explained in a fun way. With games to test your skills. If you are still confused over pronounciation then the audio CD soon clears things up.

The only thing that I will warn the potential reader is that the book also focuses on Latin American spanish. Luckily for me that is exactly what I wanted.

A must buy for absolute beginners who want to learn the basics and learn about latin american spanish as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Flaky software, 31 May 2004
By A Customer
It's slightly unfair to give this only 1 star, but the supplied software just flat refused to work on my system, and the tech support could offer no help whatsoever, and suggested I return it. It's not really surprising, though, considering it was released 5 years ago.

Whether or not the book itself is any good, I couldn't say, since I never managed to get that far.
