Love Rick Steve's stuff

It's actually quite a nice introduction to Spain. Funny in parts! Here's a sample of how good it is: it lists a bunch of words that are the same in English as they are in Spanish. What a great idea! Right there, I basically learned a bunch of Spanish. Ooh, and in the inside covers are "Survival Phrases". My wife and I are learning one per day. I figure, even with just these, I'm SO much better off than the average tourist. What I know cold: Lo siento = I'm sorry Por favor = Please Gracas = Thank you Hi! Do you speak English? = Hola! Habla usted Ingles? I'll keep working on the rest. A+
RICK STEVES SPANISH PHRASE BOOK
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This little book contains very essential phrases that you need to know. Also i liked that the book is small enough to carry around in my travels to South American & Mexico.
Great little phrase book

This phrase book was a great resource. My Spanish is okay, but not stellar, and this book gave me the extra that I needed to feel comfortable with my spoken Spanish. When I needed to know how to say something, I was always able to either find it, or piece it together from this book. The organization of the book made sense to me, making it easy to find what I was looking for as quickly as possible.
Essential travel accessory

Just enough information and just the right size for taking along wherever you go in Spain. It got me out of a jam on a number of occasions by providing just the right phase at just the right time. Don't leave home without it.
