Not very useful for spanish classSeptember 4, 2010 irishdancer7513 Sorry, but this just was not very useful for me. It was like $2, but a waste of my money. Didn't use it at all for my spanish class. I really don't recommend it if you are using it for a spanish class.
Quick ReferenceJuly 30, 2010 Gary Cruise I'm glad I purchased this book. It handles general everyday conversations with ease and brevity. I will pack this book for sure. I'm headed to Mexico next month so I really neede to refresh my Spanish from highschool. A friend of mine had a copy of this book but left it in a Taxi outside of Madrid. The book had helped me through some tough communication situations in the past. I bought the book on his recommendation and after looking over the text,

Too many useless phrases like "Let me introduce you to my wife" and "how is your day going?" How many non-Spanish speaking travelers are going to be concerned about how someone else's day is going? Sadly, there're not too many survival phrases and necessity words that are essential during traveling. For example, it's missing such concepts as "I'm allergic to milk," or peanuts, or you name it. You won't even see such a common word as "el bano" (restroom) in this book. The author calls it some outdated word that is barely used anywhere. Yes, you can get by with this book if you're not allergic to anything and don't need to use a bathroom, and if your pocket is big enough to squeeze these space-wasting pages along with the maps, documents, money, camera, makeup and other essential things... Do yourself a favor - buy something else!
good starterApril 22, 2010 Luvalo(VERONA, NJ, US) Got this for my 9 year old granddaughter. We reviewed it together. Looks like it will be a very good "assistant" when she begins to learn this in 3 months, in school.
Very helpfulMarch 4, 2010 M. Dupre(Baton Rouge, La USA) This book will literally help you with basic Spanish. I can now communicate with Spanish speaking people! This book will not only help you speak Spanish, but also help you read and write it. If you want to learn Spanish, this is the best book to start with.
