Customer Reviews

One of the BEST

This is one of the best Spanish books out there. It is set up very easily and there are pronunciation guides for each word. I home-schooled my kids and used this book for teaching them Spanish. I go back and read it again every 6 months or so just to brush up on my own Spanish. I recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn Spanish quickly!

A great book for tourists

Not a book for a student of Spanish, but it does not claim to be. This is the book I recommend to non-Spanish speakers who are making a trip to a Spanish speaking country. Contains enough info (including phonetic pronunciation help) to allow anyone to get buy for a vacation. If you are interested in learning Spanish, this is not that much help, but it is great for someone who just wants to be able to communicate while visiting another country.

Speak Spanish now

When I moved to Miami I used this book to begin speaking Spanish almost immediately. The format allows anyone to quickly learn the basics of grammar and begin pronouncing the most important phrases within minutes. Unlike other books that beg the reader to learn useless classroom phrases, Passport to Spanish teaches how to initiate conversations and respond to native speakers with pharses grouped by typical context. The book is extremely helpful to those able to practice in a native speaking environment, either on trips to Spain and Latin America or in your own hometown, which is likely filling up with workers from places like Mexico and Central America. With this book you'll be able to make them feel welcome and learn spanish at the same time.

Ver Useful and Easy to Follow

I found this book extremely helpful on my trip to Peru. Easy to follow and easy to understand. The book is separated into sections realted to hotel reservations; food; saying hello and greeting; etc. The book is small enough to carry in your back-pack. I found it extremely helpful and useful for basic communication in spanish. Good book to have.
