Easy Spanish Phrase Book NEW EDITION: Over 700 Phrases for Everyday Use (Dover Language Guides Spanish) Paperback – March 21, 2013

this is a great spanish book, it has all the sentences you would ever need. this book makes it easy to learn spanish.

I was specifically looking for a small, lightweight phrasebook with basic expressions that I could carry in my handbag and take everywhere with me. Teachers also increasingly recommend learning full sentences, so this is the perfect book to start with.

The author is obviously highly qualified to write such a guide and I enjoy looking up phrases I haven’t used before. However, if someone has never had classroom Spanish classes, where the instructor or a recorded Spanish speaker pronounced the phrase at a “teaching” speed, the “syllabic” phonetic pronunciation guide writing is a little misleading at times. Sometimes, the emphásis is on the wrong sýllable. 😳. But, once a reader understands the flowing nature of the phrases, the phonetics are a little easier to work with. I bought my son a copy. He has spoken “Spanglish” on the job, but never had a Spanish class, and he enjoys the book.

Used this in costa rica 3 times! Fun and easy great to have was something to read on the plane too!

Exactly what I expected.

It’s what it says it is…a lot of phrases to memorize. Como está, buenos días…etc. wasn’t really helpful to me.Madrigal’s Magic Key to Spanish is THE book.

Very nice book

Great resource, so much helpful info here!
