- Easy and interesting
I bought this at the same time as another Spanish learning book called "Spanish Grammar Drills" Which i found really confusing and difficult. In contrast this book is very easy to understand, it makes you think in Spanish but still explains in English. I learned some really good foundations here that i have failed to learn elsewhere. I would recommend this!

- Very Helpful!
I am a self-learned Spanish speaker. This book and others by the same author are invaluable!

- Over 400 pages of well-organized vocabulary with some grammar.
This is an amazingly hefty book. I'm an advanced student of Spanish, so most of the words were familiar to me. Even so, I'm benefiting from the book by filling in gaps in my Spanish lexicon in just about every area of concern. The back of the book says, "This book contains some adult themes." Laugh out loud, I haven't gotten to those yet! A few things were new to me and seemed strange. The author says, "Que es nuevo?" means Whats new? I learned in beginning Spanish to say, Que hay de nuevo? Also, Ms. Richmond says "Nada mucho" means nothing much. I've always said, "No mucho, nada de particular, or nada nuevo," in response to "What's new?". I doubt she's right that those are acceptable usages. I tried them out on my Spanish-speaking friends and they reacted negatively. In spite of these non-idiomatic, literal translation flaws, I'm enjoying this tour de force of a vocabulary book/workbook.

- great learning tool
If you are the kind of learner (and self-teacher) who LIKES homework then this whole series of books is for you. The Richmonds even throw in odd-ball humor to keep you awake. I really recommend these learning tools.
