Teach Yourself Spanish: Complete Audio Cd Program

Summary: Good, Solid Introduction to Spanish
Review: I have an earlier edition of this book, but I assume not much has been changed in this edition. This book is a good, solid introduction to Spanish. It's not a quick fix - there's lots of grammar, vocab., dialogues, etc., but if you're willing to spend some time reading, memorizing, and practicing, this book has most of what you need to know to begin speaking grammatically correct Spanish.

Summary: Good basic traditional language instruction
Review: I have been using this book and cassette combo as the basis of my Spanish studies. It contains all the methodical recitation of grammatical rules of conjugation and sentence structure that are only alluded to in the "learn by listening courses" everyone swears by. Having learned French by the old fashioned method of learning grammatical rules and memorization of conjugation and vocabulary expansion, I find this book a great guide - a good foundation for my studies of Spanish. This not the "painless" learning method everyone wants but for those who want to be able to say more than "Quiero una agua fria" - this book is for you.
