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.
