Customer Rating: 

I teach English to adult Latinos, and the generic ESL text (i.e., a book not designed for speakers of a specific foreign language) we were using earlier was just awful. My students really love using this book, and I can absolutely notice a marked improvement in their English. One caveat is that if you are an ESL tutor or teacher, you need to have a good knowledge of Spanish in order to make proper use of this text.

Customer Rating: 

Ingles para Latinos is a good first book to study in a group or by yourself with a little help. Practical and user friendly.

i was looking for a book for a spanish speaking friend that will teach the spanish speaker how to correctly pronounce English words. It's very difficult to do in a book because of the many dialect differences in spanish and because there are many English sounds that don't exist in spanish.

the "th" sound as in "the," or "three" (the spanish speaker from SPAIN or Cuba may be the few who may easily learn this because they tend to pronounce some of z's and s's like "th")

the "sh" sound as in "shoe," "radiation," "sugar," etc.

the letter "v" sound as in "vase" (in spanish, the "v" sound doesn't exist because it's identical to the letter "b." there's not a way to phonetically spell the english letter "v" in spanish without explaining that the "v" is "kind of like a smooth f"

The book doesnt teach the many different ways to pronounce each vowel in English (which is very important for a spanish speaker being that each spanish vowel has only one pronounciation). It doesn't emphasize the differences between:
a as in cap
a as in cape
e as in fed (the spanish "e")
e as in athlete (the spanish "i")
ee as in feed
i as in fit
i as in fight
o as in stop (the spanish "a")
o as in stove (the spanish "o")
o as in money
oo as in foot
oo as in spoon (the spanish "u")
u as in put
u as in puke

I would like to see a ESL program for spanish speakers that focuses on pronouncing as I have described.
