A good compilation of words

I found the included CD very helpful in learning the words. I'm more of an old-fashioned learner and like flashcards. The "flashcards" on the CD were annoying at first, but then I realized I was remembering the word more often because of the program's constant repeating. I highly recommend this product to people who need to build their Spanish vocabulary or just refresh it.

Great book for anyone learning Spanish.

Any book with this many Spanish words is good if not great. I haven't gone through the entire book, but I like its format and if has some errors so be it. I have the Compete Unabridged English/Spanish Oxford Dictionary and it has about 37 definitions for the verb "Sacar." The word you're sure is wrong might be correct in Spain, Ecuador, Argentina or Peru. Who knows? I wrote this before looking at the CD, so I count comment on it, but book is good enough without it. Anything on the CD is a bonus.

Great Spanish vocabulary book!

I haven't had this book long, but it organizes related words together and then uses some of the words in example sentences--with the English definitions of the words and sentences. It covers all kinds of important topical words in Spanish. The only thing it doesn't do is give the pronunciation for the words. Though most words in Spanish are easy to pronunciate, I still ocassionally need to look up the pronunciation of a word and for that I mainly use Barron's (pocket edition) of Spanish vocabulary. It has more than 6,000 words and expressions. Another FAVORITE resource of mine is the Larousse Spanish English Student dictionary. Though this STUDENT version has less words than larger dictionaries, it still has the most common...AND...it includes the words in sentences (in English and Spanish)to give examples of usage. This dictionary is very PLEASING to read...the layout is pretty and easy-to-read...not like a lot of dictionaries. But remember, it is Just the STUDENT version that is set up like this.

Great

Its just a list of words, but its a great help. Want to learn Spanish the easy way? TOO BAD!!! Its hard work, so start here by memorizing all these words...

Fantastic! And the CD is great too!

This book is fantastic. It is organized in a way that you can quickly review a page or little section each day to really learn your vocabulary quickly and easily. I leave this book on my nightstand, and every night before I turn off the light, I go through a page, memorizing the whichever words are new to me (or not as familiar as they should be). Also, this book comes with a CD that has flashcard software on it. For the low price of this book, the flashcard software alone is worth the price. You can ADD words to the computerized flashcards -- heck, you can even use the flashcards for subjects other than Spanish! This book and its CD are worth their weight in gold.
