Summary: This is a lausy excuse for a book!
Review: Classical example of how thw book shouldn't be written.I'm sorry for every cent I have spent on this publication!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An excellent supplement to class studies
Review: I agree with the reviewer from New York. I have been struggling with Spanish for two years and this book has taught me more about the language in just one month. Or maybe I had lousy teachers before! Do all the exercises and you must improve.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Refresher Course!
Review: I had 4 years of high school Spanish many moons ago, and I recently made the decision that I would like to re-familiarize myself with this lovely language.

Schaum's Outline of Spanish Grammar is an excellent resource if you desire to quickly and efficiently regain your lost Spanish. This book is so user friendly, and so logically and clearly laid out, I am very surprised there aren't more reviews.

I am using this book in conjunction with "Spanish The Easy Way" by Ruth Silverstein, and I am very confident that I will be at or near an Intermediate level within 6 months time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Workbook for Serious Study and Review
Review: I have found this book to be an excellent study aid. It is well organized to cover all the fundamentals of Spanish grammar (Nouns, Pronouns, Adjectives and Verbs, etc). Each topic is reviewed and drilled thoroughly in its own chapter. The book promotes retention of material through the use of many written exercises. To check your progress, there is an answer key in the back of the book. There is a solid review of those perennially difficult areas: the use of "Ser" vs. "Estar" and the uses of "Por" and "Para". The book reviews the special uses of some verbs in this lovely language.

The value received for the money paid is good. While the book is not covered with glossy pictures, the contents are logically organized. There is no wasted detail. To me, this aspect of the book is actually very refreshing.

I have been studying Spanish at the local University's Continuing Education Department for some time, and have found it to be an excellent addition to my Spanish language study tools. While I would not necessarily recommend this book as a primary learning tool for a novice student, I would definitely recommend it to those individuals who whish to review the language, and to improve their skills at the beginner to intermediate level.

Summary: I found Schaum's Spanish book very helpful
Review: I have used it as a supplement to a regular beginning Spanish textbook to look up grammar points and have used the book by itself to review grammar and do the workbook-type exercises, and found it very helpful both ways. Also, I appreciate the fact that the book is very inexpensive compared to regular Spanish language textbooks - I have paid [more] for books that weren't as helpful as this one.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good book, but needs work.
Review: I think after a few more revisions this book will be a great study aid or refresher for those of us studying Spanish. Right now, the exercises are not thorough. If you are self-teaching yourself Spanish you will need more practice than this book provides.

Summary: Why So Difficult?
Review: This book is very hard to use. The whole book is in Spanish there is no English to help you along the way. Try a different book. Unless you are very experianced at the Spanish Language you will find this book much too difficult.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Excellent Review Book
Review: This is the best book I have found for review of the basics -- especially those who may have studied Spanish in school but not used it since. The grammatical rules and exercises are very effective. I recommend this book as an excellent way of recapturing once-forgotten language skills.
