Customer Reviews

Excellent resource

This manual is great for English speakers learning Spanish. It really helps with trouble areas and false cognates.

A great book for all levels

You will learn something new from this book everytime you open it. It is full of great information for any level and it will improve your speaking and writing immensely. I highly recommend that you put what you've learned into practice or else it's easy to forget. There is literally a ton of information in this book. Don't be fooled by the title - it's not only for review. It's an excellent resource to have even when you just start learning Spanish.

Priceless guide to proper Spanish

I had over 40 books on Spanish grammar and 30 of those books went to charity after discovering this gem. I have never seen a better organized, more comprehensive and fun text on grammar, its a delightful read but doesn't pussy-foot around ... it gets it on! It spans the gambit of intermediate Spanish. It's one of the few books on language that can advance your skills sans teacher.

An overall comprehensive guide to learning spanish

I had taken two years of spanish in school and wanted a book over the summer that would help me remember all that I learned because I knew that I would probably forget everything because I didn't speak spanish everyday like I did in school. This book was it. It's all very clearly laid out and gives numerous, lucid examples of grammatical rules and different well-known stories that teach you vocabulary and grammar in context. The good thing about it is it's challenging at the same time. It isn't like one of those "Learn Spanish in a Week" type of books. It's comprehensive, teaching you grammar, new vocabulary and pronunciation. In other words, it's really going to teach you spanish in a way you won't forget. But if you don't feel like seriously studying spanish and actually working hard at understanding all the material, this book isn't exactly for you. It's isn't a Cliff notes for spanish and it's pretty long around 550 pages. But maybe that's what was needed to teach so well. The book takes a while to get through but I found all worth while because it made spanish so much easier in the fall. Debes comprarlo!
