Customer Rating: Summary: Starting out on the learning path of Spangish!?! Comment: I know very little spanish and this book is a help in learning some phrases and asking some questions. It is very basic and helpful. Thank you! Customer Rating: Summary: Good Book Comment: Was very helpful in my classes to learn Spanish. Use it frequently as a reference.
Thanks Customer Rating: Summary: strange and outdated Comment: This book was certainly cheap and it is certainly easy to carry. But it was also almost entirely useless. I know only a little Spanish, but enough that this book was not useful to me, because I already knew how to say anything in it that was meaningful to our travels. My husband, on the contrary, knows almost no Spanish. When attempting to shop on his own, he discovered that this book will tell you how to buy gold cufflinks, scarves, gloves, and almost every item of apparel except shirts and pants. It contains a very strange collection of phrases and does not appear to have been updated since its first publication in the 50s. Not useful if you want to ask the location of an internet cafe. Customer Rating: Summary: Waste of money Comment: Very small book that gives you such bare essentials that you really get nothing at all. If you have to go to Mexico tonight and this was the only book you had then maybe take it because its better than zilch. Customer Rating: Summary: Better with Behind the Wheel Spanish 8 CDs & Book Comment: No question that Easy Spanish Phrase Book is an inexpensive and relevant way to learn useful basic Spanish phrases. The problem is that most of these phrases are canned and not original.
I recommend you use this handy little booklet along with Macmillan Audio's
Behind the Wheel Spanish 8 CDs and book. Behind the Wheel - Spanish 1 (Behind the Wheel) which will teach you how to create your own sentences.
Great combo for the money!
