“This is a very simple and practical resource to learn fundamental Spanish. I speak a couple of languages and have dabbled in several others, and I have a personal opinion that learning phrases is the way to go. learn them in their full, conjugated, and grammatically correct format (and, of course, learn how to pronounce them correctly). do this, and you’ll never have to guess about that particular phrase again, even if you still don’t understand the grammatical reasons why the sentence/phrase got that way.” -zack

I bought the audible version so I could train my ears to listen to conversational Spanish. this is a great learning tool.”
“The stories are fun, a bit advanced, and I don’t understand a lot of the conversations, but that gives me a reason to listen to them over and over again. my favorite part is the vocabulary summary at the end of each story. and subsequent stories often reuse some of the earlier vocabulary, making it easier to recall and reinforce in memory.

price on amazon: $21.99
reviews: 4.3/5 (over 200)
“I have the audible copy of this book. If this is your first time learning Spanish and you don’t have any grammar knowledge yet, I recommend you use it along with the printout. that way you can read and listen to it at the same time to help with pronunciation.”
“my review of the audible version: it was great for someone like me whose Spanish was a bit rusty! the narrator has a strong and clear voice and the quality of the recording is excellent. the only thing I suggest if he has trouble following-slow down a bit. maybe pause after each sentence so you have time to repeat it: it goes fast! I certainly recommend this as a great learning tool.” -rae
Why you need it: This book is great if you have a basic understanding of Spanish and are ready to learn new vocabulary words. It will also put the word in a sentence so you can easily understand the meaning and context of the word and when you would like to use it.
When learning a new language, you’ll want to make sure you’re using the vocabulary words you’re learning correctly. For example, if you had to say “nice car” in English, you would not say “simpatico carro” in Spanish. that’s where context comes in handy.
