Summary: Este libro esta muy bien!
Review: I've never tried to learn Spanish, however, living in Southern California, it is now a necessity. Therefore, I wanted a book to give me the basics so that I could have an immediate ability to speak Spanish. This book has given me a very good basic foundation.
The only way to make this book better would be to include CDs with pronunciation so that you knew you were pronouncing them correctly (although it does have the phenetics for the words). For me, this is a good way to "get my feet wet" and begin the learning process. I do 5 chapters a week, then use the weekend to review, and I also make practice tests to test myself. This works really well for me and really enables me to drill the information.

Summary: Good for beginners
Review: SPANISH IN 10 MINUTES A DAY is good for beginners, but I wouldn't recommend it for intermediate or advanced students. And I would also suggest that beginners let go of the illusion that SPANISH IN 10 MINUTES A DAY will make them fluent. The title SPANISH IN 10 MINUTES A DAY makes no claim at finality, i.e., it doesn't claim that within those 10 minutes it will make you fluent. It just indicates that it is meant to be studied in 10 minute increments. I found the format and teaching style to be succinct and helpful. I would recommend this to anyone interested in learning Spanish, and no previous experience is necessary. It actually makes the learning process fun!

Summary: well worth the money
Review: The best technique to learn a language is through the everyday use - the best part of this book is the stickers you can put all around your living space.

Summary: This is a good place to start if you're learning Spanish!
Review: This book is just right for the beginner or someone that took Spanish in high school or college, but never really got off the ground with it. Now, years later, you really want to take it seriously, but what about all those verbs and odd sentence structures? Well, this is a good way to get back into it or learn it for the first time. The book is colorful, easy to read, contains crossword puzzles and other creative exercises for review. When I finished this book I called the publisher to see if they offered an intermediate-level version of the book. I was sorry to hear that they currently do not. Hey, it's well worth the money and will help you get off to a good start. Try it, you'll like it!

Summary: Could have been good
Review: This is a way for people to learn spanish fast but the book goes through things very quickly so you will find that you either don't understand or forget thing easily. I only suggest this book to someone how just wants to travel to a country that speaks spanish for a week but not for people who are truly interested in learning to speak spanish fleuntly at a good level.

Summary: I found it irritating
Review: This was the text used in a beginning Spanish class I took recently. Unlike the other reviewers, I found it patronizing and irritating. The basic concept--that by using pictures and a mixture of Spanish and English beginning students can gain confidence--is not necessarily a bad one, but I found myself frustrated by the very limited amount of information actually presented. The book has lots of dull English text, written in a pseudo-sprightly style, with random Spanish words sprinkled over the surface. There is no progression from the beginning of the book to the end. For me, it was a waste of time. In contrast, some of the bilingual storybooks that are now available, have provided me with both the feeling of support beginners need -- and some genuine Spanish. Also, the pictures are awful.

Summary: These books are the real deal...
Review: This whole series is a great way to get started on what you'll need to know as a traveling tourist. I've used the German and French versions, and was able to make hotel reservations, buy train and plane tickets, ask directions, and order dinner. In most cases, people in foreign countries will try to speak to you in English, if necessary, once they've seen that you are trying to speak to them in their language. You may need to supplement this book with a tape to hear the pronunciation, but even so, this book is a wonderful way to get started...just paste the stickers everywhere around you and jump in!
