Customer Reviews

The best spanish phrase book + dictionary on the market.

The phrasebook is relatively small, but has a 5000+ thousand word dictionary (both english-spanish and spanish-english, which I think is important). The phrase book is superior to the "Dorling Kindersley (DK) Eyewitness Travel guide phrase book", because that one only has english to spanish dictionary. This phrase book has glossy pages (whereas the newer, smaller collins GEM phrasebook + dictionary only has has matt pages and blue/black text). It has various important bits outlined in colour boxes, and just looks superior to anything on the market. Because of the coloured boxed-text sections, it is easier to peruse through than the smaller collins gem phrase book. I went out and bought 5 different spanish audio CDs, and a lot of them included phrase books... this one is easily the best of the bunch.
