Spanish the Easy Way (E-Z Spanish),   ISBN:9780764119743

Customer Rating: 

I am a 50-something trying to learn Spanish for the first time. I bought this particular book because it has an answer key for all the exercises. The first book I tried by the same authors lacked the key, so how do you know you are getting it right?

So far it is working OK, but I feel it is designed for fairly young students. It uses a lot of pictures to represent words which leads to ambiguity. I will finish this book and move on to something very different in the future.

Customer Rating: 

The book came in just 3 or 4 days. Even tho' it was listed as used, it was in new-book condition. I don't believe it had ever been used. Spanish the Easy Way is easy to use on your own, or as a supplement to a class.

Customer Rating: 

Trying to refresh my Spanish and found this book useful particularly because it has answers to the exercises so that you will know if you are going the right way. Has a lot of basic information that other manuals of this type don't include.

Recommended by instructor in refresher course who is a college level instructor in Spanish.

Customer Rating: 

this book is very good for beginners or those with a little bit of background. I had 2 years of Spanish in High School and 2 years in college. If you're looking into writing and reading the language this is very good. But if you want to speak or understand Spanish in normal conversation speed i suggest you get it in AUDIO format, watch telenovelas and listen to spanish lyrics. Anything to familiarize yourself with the tone.

Like any language, it is easiest to learn if spoken everyday. English is not my first language but it was so easy to learn because it is rampant in both television and print (for most part of the world anyway).

give this book time and effort. maybe half an hour to an hour a day. most of the exercises are really really basic. you will think that if you skip it, it might not be a big deal to your learning process. believe me, it will make a big difference. you will write down sentences, identify illustrations, and, if you want, read them out loud.

all in all its a good learn-it-yourself tool, especially for the price.
