Product Description

Polish your Spanish vocabulary skills

Building on the success of her prior book, Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses, author Dorothy Devney Richmond helps you attain a strong working vocabulary, no matter if you are an absolute beginner or an intermediate student of the language.

She combines her proven instruction techniques and clear explanations with a plethora of engaging exercises, so you are motivated and hardly notice that you are absorbing so much Spanish. Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Vocabulary also includes basic grammar and structures of the language to complement your newly acquired words. "Vocabulary Builders" help you add to your Spanish repertoire by using cognates, roots, suffixes, prefixes, and other "word-building" tools.



From the Back Cover

Sharpen your grammar skills and add thousands of words to your Spanish vocabulary

Bestselling author Dorothy Devney Richmond understands that in order to increase your vocabulary and gain confidence in your Spanish skills, you need a foundation in grammar. So in this unique workbook she has integrated grammar essentials with vocabulary drills, providing a framework for you to build a solid vocabulary you can use at work, at school, and on the street.

Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Vocabulary explains nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs and how they will help you learn new vocabulary. As you master grammar skills, you will find it easier than ever to use your expanding vocabulary in practical ways. And with more than 250 entertaining exercises to practice what you learn, you will become comfortable using Spanish in everyday situations.

You will also learn vocabulary-building techniques, such as:
Names for people, places, and things * Adjectives that describe people * Verbs used for household activities * Nouns and verbs used as adjectives * Adjectives that describe the weather * How to ask questions * Verbs used for shopping * How to give directions * Adverbs that describe verbs

5.0 out of 5 stars Say goodbye to learning by rote, 11 Feb 2009
By Mr. S. M. Davies - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In the 'Practice Makes Perfect' series, a beginner/intermediate learning Spanish finds a structured approach to learning that's easy to digest. Dorothy Richmond's latest book, 'Spanish Vocabulary', does not present laundry lists of vocab on every page to learn by rote, but structures relevant wordlists around helpful exercises.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of practice, 23 Dec 2008
By PC (Chichester, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book is well structured taking the reader through the key aspects of the language and providing lots of exercises at each stage, in total there must be thousands. If you read it cover to cover and do the exercises you will get the practice you need to become proficient.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Learning Spanish, 9 Oct 2008
By David Smith (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent book. Large pages and print and well laid out. It takes you through the basics of grammer whilst you learn the vocabulary. The vocabulary is laid out in sensible subject groups. There are masses of fairly straightforward exercises and this proves the theory that "Practice makes Perfect". A small point is that some of the questions are American "biased" and we Brits may not know the answers.
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.
