I was skeptical at first with this book, only because I have tried so many others. But this book geniously concentrates on centric words spoken in the Spanish language. I have only had it no more then three months, and I am able to have conversations with my Hispanic friends, and help customers at my job that only speak Spanish. In the beginning of the book it gives you clear directions, you cannot go wrong. But you need to be honest with the time you devote on a daily basis to learn a new language. I decided to dedicate 30 minutes everyday to one page. And I just followed the directions to the letter. And I can't believe how even now I can understand music, TV, and conversations around me in Spanish. I have ordered this book for my kids. Best investment. --Anderson Louima We use this little text in my Spanish class. It's small and just feels quick and easy. The vocab and sentence use is a good way to learn a language. --Faith D. Flaherty I've been studying Spanish for about 1 month. Taking 30 minutes to read this book has already taught me more conversational skills than that previous month of traditional study did. And, isn't the point of learning a language suppose to be about communication through Conversation? Do yourself a favor and get this book now! --tommylinsley I am originally from Colombia and I lived there most of my life. Spanish is my first language. Over the past 5 years I have been teaching Spanish here in the United States. I bought this conversational Spanish book because the description sparked my curiosity. This technique is very effective. I read through the entire book, and all I gotta say, is, wow it's impressive. I am planning on speaking with the principal at the school where I teach in order to discuss possibly ordering copies of this book for my students. --Daniela I grew up in Florida, and here, we are required to learn Spanish since the beginning of grade school. This methods approach taught me more than what I've learned in middle school, high school, and college combined. --Ceasar Learning Spanish for me was kind of difficult throughout my grade school years. Purchasing this book by Yatir Nitzany helped me reanalyze words and conversations that are normally spoken by my peers and others. I would most definitely recommend others to purchase --Daviner I am a natural spanish speaker but nothing like reinforcing your heritage and with this book I did. A quick read for anyone on the go, I was amazed at the simplicity of the book itself, makes life much easier to learn a new language! --Isabell I've always wanted to learn a second language. I took Spanish classes in high school but it never really stuck once I was out of school. Finally, I've found a method that works. This book was great in helping me learn Spanish. It's very well written and easy to understand. Nitzany's method follows the idea that there are only about 350 words that you really need to know in order to gain a basic understanding of any language. It really doesn't take long once you get the hang of it. I ordered and received this book just a few weeks ago and I'm already able to hold basic conversations with my Spanish speaking friends. If you want or need to learn Spanish quickly, I highly recommend this book. Next I plan to purchase the French book in this series. --Jamie Harmon
