Only provides very rudimentary vocabulary

This book might be good if you are a real beginner learning Spanish. As an intermediate learner, I found the vocabulary sections to be of very limited use. One other thing I didn't care for was the way the writer explained concepts in the non-vocabulary (i.e. grammar) sections. Rather than...

Vocabulary is an obstacle you can hurdle with this book!

Many students find that they just don't have enough vocabulary to carry on a simple conversation. This book will solve most of your everyday problems. Let's examine the problem of foreign-language vocabulary acquisition. First of all, the vocabulary you'll need will not be exactly the vocabulary...

Good sentence translation, but I didn't care for all the "true or false" activities

Spanish Vocabulary is a much better product than its French counterpart. Still, there needs to be more translation exercises!!! I'm not looking for anything "cutesy" or "hip". I want to increase my vocabulary with translation exercises, including paragraph translations. Also, there are "adult...

Good concept, but not quite on implementations

My preceptions of this book is as much a product of my learning style as anything else. I first this book at Borders, and it looked like just the type of thing I would need to get a quick working vocabulary in Spanish, then I can come back and tighen up on the grammer and converstaion. It does...

Excellent Presentation

Wish I had started with this book as an overall view of Spanish. It was very helpful presenting many subjects in a very simple meaningful succinct way. Would recommend it to the begining student as well as the more experienced learner.

good for absolute beginners only

This book is basically lists of vocabulary organized into logical groupings, as well as a very primitive introduction to Spanish grammar. This book is useful only for beginners. I am an intermediate student and found this book useless for building vocabulary and for learning grammar.

Excellent for beginners!

This books is great for beginners. Even if you have never studied Spanish before this books works well. I have been trying to learn Spanish for about a year but could never quite construct sentences. This book has helped me go from just knowing words to actually reading and speaking in...

Spanish Simplified

I have a growing pile of Spanish books but this has to be the best. The author has written in a way that makes you feel she is chatting to you personally, taking away that 'text book' feel. The exercises are interesting, explanations the simplest I've come across. The book makes me want to do...

Another great one by Dorothy Richmond!

Finally some really fun exercises to improve vocabulary! What I really like about this book is that the exercises provide lots of basic structural practice--great for struggling students--as well as a wide variety of practical vocabulary for students wanting to improve conversational fluency.

Excellent Study Aid for Old Man Learning Spanish

I have some audiotapes for Spanish, but wanted some written guides to help with the written language. From what I've used so far, "Spanish Vocabulary" (along with the companion "Spanish Verb Tenses" and especially the "Spanish Pronouns and Prepositions)" seems well written, comprehensive, and...
