Let's Learn Spanish Picture Dictionary: Picture Dictionary

Rating:
Summary: Good for learning commonly used Spanish words.
Review: I borrowed this book from a Spanish-speaking co-worker and have found that it is a very useful book even though I have been learning Spanish intensively for over three years. The book is very useful for quickly looking up words for a variety of situations. Even after learning the language it is handy to have a picture dictionary available - many of the more complicated picture dictionaries tend to be overwhelming and too detailed. This book will not teach you Spanish grammar and will not teach you how to speak the language but will definitely increase your vocabulary if you have some other resource avilable for learning the grammer. The book is an awkard size and you probably won't find that you carry it around very often.

Summary: A book full of useful words and pictures for a beginner.
Review: I've just recently dedided to study speaking Spanigh in my home as opposed to a school enviornment. It helps that I have a spanish speaking partner. I have purchased more than quit a few home study books, tapes and Software programs. But have been dissappointed with them. They are all geared towards people who already have a good grasp of the language. This book was a blessing. It is perfect for the True Beginner. If other books leave you thinking, "I'll never learn how to speak Spanish", this book will give you some incentive to continue learning. I have dusted off some of those old spanish books and getting my monies worth by using them. :-)
