Product Description

Product Description

"Teach Yourself: Improve Your Spanish' is the ideal way to extend your language skills if you already have some knowledge of Spanish. Whether you've completed "Teach Yourself Spanish" or any other beginners' Spanish course, either by yourself or at evening class, this course should help you build on your existing knowledge and improve your spoken and written language. The book covers a wide range of topics of the sort you will want to talk about when in Spain and teaches you the kind of everyday language and features of speech that will enable you to communicate with confidence and feel comfortable taking part in conversation with native speakers of Spanish. The choice of material aims to give you something of the flavour of Spain today and each unit is based around a single theme with lively interviews and conversations on the accompanying recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent course for intermediate learners, 20 Dec 2008
By Geoff Parkes (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teach Yourself Improve Your Spanish (TY Improve Your...) (Paperback)
It was very refreshing to come across this course for two reasons. Firstly, whilst there is no shortage of material for beginners, there is far less available for improvers. Secondly, it is a relief to see that the Teach Yourself series has reinvented itself: gone are the turgid, unappealing tomes with the blue and yellow covers of yesteryear, to be replaced by much smarter, more professional products.

The course is available as a book + two CDs or the book alone. It works as a standalone book because the transcripts of the CD texts appear at the back of the book anyway. I chose the book-only version since I already own many other CDs in Spanish. Buying the book + CDs more than doubles the total cost - as always, CDs are grossly overpriced - but many may feel that the help offered with pronunciation justifies the extra expense.

In UK terms, the level is something like pre-A Level. I used the book for self-study while attending a once-a-week intermediate class at night school. It's aimed at adults rather than teenagers, is full of highly useful vocabulary, phrases and idioms linked to hotels, family, jobs, holidays, shopping, noisy neighbours, etc. It also contains just the right mix of dialogues, texts, small illustrations, grammar notes and exercises.

Most intermediate courses tend to be glossy, large-format books packed with colour pictures and designed for class use. This one has no colour pictures, but that scarcely matters as the good quality and variety of material keeps you motivated. And the clincher: it's less than A5 size, so you can pop it in your pocket and read it on the bus, the train - or the beach! This is the only language book I've ever worked through twice. It helped me enormously and I warmly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars TY improve your spanish, 9 Jul 2009
By A. Devare - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Teach Yourself Improve Your Spanish (TY Improve Your...) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for anyone who would like to progess from beginners spanish. I use his previous book "teach yourself spanish" as a refresher before travelling to a spanish speaking country. It has been my main source of reference for several years.

I am really pleased that i bought "TY Improve your spanish", as it continues in the same easy to follow style of his other books. You really do need the CD which comes with the book.
