Review: Easy learning is exactly right - I wanted to learn a bit of Spanish to improve my friendship with a Spanish housemate, so I bought this book to help me along, and I'm glad I did. Having not studied English for the best part of 20 years, I've forgotten most of the technical side of languages, even though I write for a hobby, but I see that more as art - I just know where the words go. This of course means that words such as 'infinitive', though familiar somewhere in my memory, don't have meaning, which makes learning a new language very difficult. Fortunately, this book appreciates this reality of life and tells you everything you need to know, not just about Spanish, but about the universal fundamentals of language. And it does so in a very clear, perfectly laid out fashion, with each section being presented in a short, easy to understand manner. There are no masses of text, nor unnecessary complexities, yet at the same time it teaches everything from the raw basics to the more complicated intricacies of how to understand how Spanish works. Each section of the first third of the book covers the use of certain forms of words, and contains a useful 'how to use this section' page followed by a basic introduction. Then there are tips, bullet points and example sentences throughout to guide you along, and a summary of the most important parts at the end. There's then a very useful middle section which contains page after page of verb tables, with the most commonly used verbs displayed in their various forms, with examples to boot. The final part of the book is an A-Z of useful topics, eg food & drink, holidays, town etc, with each page containing a list of associated words, and then a couple of useful phrases. It really is an incredible book for anyone wanting to learn Spanish. Review: Great book, with text-to-speech etc. in the Kindle book - Very well presented book. All the verb tenses clearly laid out, lots of verbs, nouns, adjectives and adverbs with examples. Word lists nicely separated into sections, e.g. air travel, which are then sub-divided into "essential", "important" and "useful", helping you to select which words to learn. Lots of examples of expressions such as "desde hace xxx". This is a very professional book, and I can thoroughly recommend this book. A benefit of the Kindle version is that you can get the Spanish words spoken using text-to-speech, though this is only of the translation = this means that you have to highlight the English version and hope that the Spanish translation is what you wanted to hear, but it's pretty good. It would be even better if it had options for speaking either the Spanish or the English pronunciation of any selected text, but you can't have everything ...
