Learn Spanish the Fast and Fun Way with Cassettes

Rating:
Summary: Poorly composed and edited.
Review: Preparing for a trip to Mexico I focused on this book only to find that it was poorly composed. The irritations I had were:
1. Many of the chapters were not picked to be of as much use as I would like: e.g., Camping, A Trip by Train, The Beauty Shop, The Shoemaker and the Optometrist. 2. A dictionary is a separate book but it doesn't have all of the words that are in the Learn Spanish lesson book. 3. There is no index for being able to go back to certain words or grammatical subjects when you wish to refresh your memory. 4. The pages in the back of the book are supposed to be used for "flash cards", having a question on the front of them and supposedly the answer on the back of the flash card, but most of the flash cards have answers on the back that correspond to questions on one of the other flash cards, which makes most of them unusable. The pictures are useful but not particularly well done. Overall I was very disappointed.
