Summary: 4th Edition is a huge upgrade from the 3d.
Review: This edition of Spanish the Easy way is a tremendous improvement over it's predecessor. 432pgs. chock-full of upgraded grammar instruction, excercises, and new stories/dialogues that adds more material. This work by Silverstein, et.al. continues to be the gold standard for Spanish instruction at the novice level. You hit the ground running with this resource; there are not any baby steps. For the fast learner as well as the learner who has had previous experience/exposure to Spanish. Will definitely prepare you for the intermediate level, which is covered very nicely by Spanish Now! Level 2.

Summary: Difficult to follow due to choppy flow of information.
Review: This in my view is a poorly written text book. There is no organization and author(s) just seem to jump around from topic to topic at will. Poor illustrations and examples are also plentiful. This could easily be used as an example of instuctors selecting books based on profit rather than quality.

Summary: Great for Learning on your own!
Review: This is a great book to learn spanish. Check it out!. NOTE: The publishers has another book named Spanish Now 1 by the same author. IT'S THE SAME BOOK!. The only diference is that SPANISH THE EASY WAY has the answers to the exersises in the same book. SPANISH NOW 1, does not, you need to buy another booklet that has the answers ???. But, there are SPANISH NOW 1 TAPES that you can buy and use with the SPANISH THE EASY WAY BOOK, for listening and pronunciation.
