It helps to have an answer key in the back. I'm not sure if this is the best book for a beginner because it covers a lot in a short space but it is great for me who studied Spanish in high school. Review: Great book for review after many years of absence - not for very beginner - I learned Spanish in high school, but haven't studied it in about 20 years. I would say that I have a fairly solid base understanding of the language - grammar, vocab, pronunciation, etc. I got this book to pick up my studies again, refresh and practice what I already know, and expand my knowledge. This book is perfect! I would not recommend this book for the absolute beginner with no knowledge of basic vocabulary. You'd likely spend half your time just looking up words to be able to understand the exercises in the activities - even starting in the first section. When I read the table of contents before I bought it I was expecting to just skip the first couple of chapters, assuming the book would be too simplistic. However, I was pleasantly surprised that so far it is great basic review and I've even learned a couple of things in terms of punctuation and capitalization. If one section starts to see overwhelming, I'd recommend jumping around a bit in the book as it doesn't feel exactly like a textbook that goes over the most simplistic items and moves to more difficult. Basics are scattered due to subject matter and how the sections are divided I would love if the answers to the exercises were bound in a separate book because flipping back and forth is a bit of a pain. However, I do understand that would increase the book cost and it's not a dealbreaker.
