 A True Bargain for the Price November 13, 2005
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
'Easy Spanish Phrase Book: Over 770 Basic Phrases for Everyday Use' accomplishes the following:
1. It is more than `reasonably priced'. For less than the cost of a hamburger you can purchase and benefit from a handy and useful Spanish phrase book.
2. It is easy to use. There are English equivalents (a must for any vehicle you use to learn any language on your own) and even a handy pronunciation guide that accompanies the phrases.
3. It contains relevant and useful topics. The subjects covered are far from esoteric. They include the basics for many common everyday language situations that you are likely to encounter such as shopping, going to the bank and drugstore, doing laundry, dealing with illness, describing and inquiring about the weather, ordering and buying food, calling on the phone, useful time expressions and the like.
As with all books and methods, there are a few shortcomings.
Because of its inherent brevity, the book is by its very nature an incomplete guide. For $1.50 no one could expect it to be otherwise.
I did note however that a little updating of vocabulary and some mention of the information age innovations such as computers, printers, faxes, emails, and even the internet were rather conspicuously absent.
Overall, I happily give this fine little guide a five star rating. It is a true bargain for the price.
Mark Frobose/Author of 'Complete Behind the Wheel Spanish' / Driving Towards Fluency in Spanish & Conversational Spanish in Nothing Flat
Over rated by certain reviewers.... February 29, 2004

Well, it is still a good book, but I could see a few improvements that could make things better. The book lists phrases, yes, phrases...nothing more. For example, after you say, what time do you open, in Spanish, you will have to search next thing to say digging entire book. Again, it only lists simple phrases by the category. I'm a bit disappointed by the five star rating......
Works Well With Behind the Wheel Spanish April 17, 2005
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
The Easy Spanish Phrase Book we just bought is the obvious perfect compliment to the Spanish course we are using. You see, my wife and I are learning Spanish together using the Behind the Wheel Spanish series.
It's uncanny, but both our course and this phrase book have almost the same categories:
travel, restaurant, transportation, etc .....
The Easy Spanish Phrase Book is ideal as a supplement for any Spanish course (though I would not recommend you use it alone) because it is compact, inexpensive and full of useful everyday useful sentences in Spanish.
A must buy for any serious student of Spanish on a budget.

my husband teaches spanish to high school students and to an adult class. He has found that this little book is extremely useful to both groups. We have ordered 100 of these books at the present; to give to the students and they love them.
He strongly reccomends this book for all interested in learning spanish.
