Spanish for Dummies

Is speaking Spanish nothing more than a bad high school memory for you? Are the phrases "Yo quiero Taco Bell" and "Hasta la vista, baby" the extent of what you can say in Spanish?

Whether you need a quick primer for an upcoming business trip or want to build on a basic understanding of the language, Spanish For Dummies can help. But the book is more than just a language text full of cool phrases and useful vocabulary -- it's also a cultural guide for those moments when you really need to know how and why things are done.

Part of what makes this book so valuable is its whole-language approach to Spanish. Instead of burdening you with endless vocabulary lists and tricky grammar rules, Spanish For Dummies gives you the tools to take your Spanish on the road. Focus on everyday situations and hone your small-talk skills that help you with basic communication in Spanish. What's more, the authors have scattered throughout the book tidbits that contextualize the language so you understand the people, places, and things that are unique to Spanish-speaking cultures. An audio CD enables you to hear Spanish as it's really spoken by presenting dialogues between native Spanish speakers.  more

Very nice.

The book was in great condition and for a very low price. As far as the quality of the book itself, it's very helpful. (my boyfriend is learning faster than I expected!) Highly recommended.

Did Not Work For Me

Having to assemble a good self-study course in Spanish to see me through an unexpected but important business trip to Mexico, and having only two weeks to accomplish this feat, I turned to Spanish for Dummies for help.Very disappointing....
