What our customer's say!

"Why Is This Book Useful?", After learning German from scratch, I realized about eight months later that my unwieldy and large German-English dictionaries were a drag. They were slow and clunky. When I decided to learn Spanish, the first thought I had was to find the right reference book for starting out with the basic vocabulary. This book has the perfect form and function for the beginning student. When I'm doing exercises, I can find the word I need in this book without skipping a beat or losing my train of thought. Buy this book if you're looking for efficiency. It has, for the most part, all the vocabulary a beginning student needs without the clutter of word entries a student doesn't need. It's easy to work with because I know from the moment I need it whether it will have the word I need or not. It's a two dollar workhorse that's a pleasure to use.

"Outstanding value", Particularly useful for intermediate-level speakers of the Spanish language. This book very concisely presents a wealth of vocabulary and demonstrates the grammar of each palabra introduced. For a very small price, it represents a terrific value.

"Learn Spanish Quickly on a Budget", A great resource for people learning or refreshing their Spanish vocab. Can't afford to buy expensive software? This is the book for you! Words arranged by easy-to-find categories and a small dictionary is included in the book.

What makes this book so great? Cheap. Small. Useful.

"Useful guide, but not flawless", Is this booklet worth the $2 that Amazon currently charges? Most certainly. I wouldn't place an order just to buy it, of course, but you should throw it in with anything else you might be buying.

If you do not speak any Spanish at all, this book will probably have limited usefulness to you until you get a fair grasp of its grammar. Once you're there, though, this book shines.

Here's how I recommend you use this: instead of a guide to 1001 words, use it as a guide to 1001 *sentences*, because each word has a sentence example for it. Put all the sentences in a flash card program such as Anki or Mnemosyne. (If you've never used such a flash card program, you really should. They're great.) You can skip over sentences that are too easy, of course, but a lot of the sentences will be interesting even if you already know the word.

However, you have to be a bit careful, because the entries do contain some mistakes, and this is why I must give it 4 stars instead of 5. For instance, the entry for "alcoba" has the sentence "Buscamos un apartamiento con dos alcobas" ("We're looking for an apartment with two bedrooms") -- "apartamiento" should be "apartamento". The entry for "amigo" has "Quiero presentar algunos amigos míos" has at least one mistake (there should be an "a" after "presentar"), but a native speaker told me it still sounds awkward and should be something like "Quiero presentarles a unos amigos míos". There was another sentence where the "a" was omitted with presentar, but I can't find it right now. So if you use this book, you have to stay on your toes a bit and accept that there may be a couple of mistakes in it. I think that, and the $2, are small price to pay for having 1001 sentences at your fingertips, though.

"You'd do better looking up words in a dictionary.", A totally useless book with words selected haphazardly with only one explanation given, which hardly covers the different meanings of some words depending on the context. You could do better to yourself by opening a dictionary and selecting words in random. I got lured by its low price and wasted my money.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Not useful", This book is not good for beginners in spanish as it is intented to be, and is not, as well, suitable for intermediate or advanced. Now i understood why it sold for 0.01$.

"Very useful", This is a very useful book for review or for a quick check to see if you remember a word correctly. Having done several audio courses (Pimsleur I and most of "Learn Spanish in Your Car"), I was amazed at how many of the words I already knew. I keep it next to the TV to scan during commercials.

"Essential Beginning Spanish Vocabulary Lesson", These 1001 words are truly an essential vocabulary lesson for a beginning Spanish speaker. Each common word is defined and exemplified in a sentence of everyday conversational Spanish, illustrating proper grammar as well. A mastery of this book (assuming one knows how to pronounce the Spanish alphabet), along with a basic understanding of Spanish grammar (and a well-tuned ear), enables a student to converse readily in Spanish.

"Be careful...very thin book", While the book does what it says...it barely qualifies as a book...it's more like a pamphlet.

"no glossary", It would be helpful... IF I could speak Spanish first! There is no glossary to help me find the word in English first. If it had cost more, I would have sent it back... unused
