To learn Spanish or English

This is an excellence straight forward listing of vocabulary words in English and Spanish to be used in everyday life. It is well rounded. With subjects such as boardgames and yardwork to the parts of a Newspaper. Not a travel vocabulary book or a focus on one subject such as business or medical terms, although it includes these subjects. It goes beyond the basic general vocabulary. An example is - there are 9 types of pens listed: ballpoint, felt-tip, fountain pen, fine point, etc. The 325 pages are mostly all word for word English to Spanish. A few are phases rather than just single words. Such as "I know it's a bit annoying for you when I try to speak Spanish, but I won't get any better unless I try". This is a very practical tool for working toward fluency. The terms are listed in English and then in Spanish but could easily be used by Spanish Speakers to learn English vocabulary as well. If you buy this book, get ready to memorize.
