Here's the perfect book to use when you're traveling to Spain or Latin America for business or pleasure - or whenever fast, effective communication in Spanish is needed. This handy, sturdy volume... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I give this handy little book a whopping five stars. I love the size of Easy Spanish Phrase Book and its useful sentences. Very portable and loaded with common everyday phrases. Here's a tip. I am using my Easy Spanish Phrase Book with a CD course entitled Behind the Wheel Spanish. I just finished level 1 and 2 and will soon move on to level 3. It's amazing how important these phrases are and how they continually pop up in everyday conversation and how much more effective they are when you can hear them on the CD. Naturally, your choice for sentence formation is limited if you just stick to Easy Spanish Phrase Book. There's only so much you can fit into this tiny book. That's why I went with a full CD course and full text like Behind the Wheel Spanish. But when I am pressed for time and space, all I take along is Easy Spanish Phrase Book.
A great easy reference for the most basic Spanish needs

If you are intending to learn any new language, I first recommned that you read How To Learn Any Language. In that book, you'll find a recommendation to get a phrase book. The purpose of the phrase book is to give you prior practice in real-life situations. When you get a chance to memorize phrases ahead of time, that is the BEST way to use a phrase book. Your grammar book, and sometimes even your course, does not give you the "Which room is mine?" kind of phrases. Yes, you will need to flip through the book to find responses or the next question on different topic, but that is only if you do not practice a bit ahead of time. This is a great phrasebook and is a great value!

Easy Spanish Phrase Book is Invaluable

This book was invaluable on my recent family vacation to Zihuatanejo, Mexico! Spanish phrases are categorized according to the situation in which you will need them; for example, restaurants, banks, stores, post offices, etc. The pronunication keys were great. We ordered food, found an Internet cafe and a bank, and were able to get more toilet paper from the non-English-speaking hotel desk clerk at 10:30 p.m. I don't know what we would have done without it!
