Pleasant, nonthreatening way to teach basic English skills.

Each time I get a new Hispanic student with limited English proficiency, I purchase a copy of this book for him. My ESL students are all incarcerated men with various educational backgrounds. Even those students who have very limited skill in reading Spanish have found this book helpful. One student carried the removable fold-up phrase card in his pocket daily for a couple of months. I would not suggest using this text as the sole teaching material in a classroom setting, but it can serve as an invaluable teaching/learning aid.
Excellente

This is an excellent book for teaching hispanic children and/or adults to learn alot of basic English language. It gives good examples and utilizes them in situations so the pupil may learn at their own pace.

This book is quite useful in teaching English, specially when you have to apply an express course. It can also be used to learn "by yourself"...I use it with Portuguese speaking students in Brazil, and though it is in Spanish, it is still clear enough to be used.
