 A great easy reference for the most basic Spanish needs August 18, 2004

If you are intending to learn any new language, I first recommned that you read How To Learn Any Language. In that book, you'll find a recommendation to get a phrase book. The purpose of the phrase book is to give you prior practice in real-life situations. When you get a chance to memorize phrases ahead of time, that is the BEST way to use a phrase book. Your grammar book, and sometimes even your course, does not give you the "Which room is mine?" kind of phrases. Yes, you will need to flip through the book to find responses or the next question on different topic, but that is only if you do not practice a bit ahead of time.
This is a great phrasebook and is a great value!
Easy Spanish Phrase Book is Invaluable June 16, 2000
60 out of 63 found this review helpful
This book was invaluable on my recent family vacation to Zihuatanejo, Mexico! Spanish phrases are categorized according to the situation in which you will need them; for example, restaurants, banks, stores, post offices, etc. The pronunication keys were great. We ordered food, found an Internet cafe and a bank, and were able to get more toilet paper from the non-English-speaking hotel desk clerk at 10:30 p.m. I don't know what we would have done without it!

You can't beat this book - for the price and the small, yet concise and relevant content. Learn how to tell time, order food, go through customs, as well as greetings and social conversations just to name a few. Especially helpful are the pronunciation guides listed below each phrase. Muy bueno for the traveler or beginner.
A True Bargain for the Price November 13, 2005

'Easy Spanish Phrase Book: Over 770 Basic Phrases for Everyday Use' accomplishes the following:
1. It is more than `reasonably priced'. For less than the cost of a hamburger you can purchase and benefit from a handy and useful Spanish phrase book.
2. It is easy to use. There are English equivalents (a must for any vehicle you use to learn any language on your own) and even a handy pronunciation guide that accompanies the phrases.
3. It contains relevant and useful topics. The subjects covered are far from esoteric. They include the basics for many common everyday language situations that you are likely to encounter such as shopping, going to the bank and drugstore, doing laundry, dealing with illness, describing and inquiring about the weather, ordering and buying food, calling on the phone, useful time expressions and the like.
As with all books and methods, there are a few shortcomings.
Because of its inherent brevity, the book is by its very nature an incomplete guide. For $1.50 no one could expect it to be otherwise.
I did note however that a little updating of vocabulary and some mention of the information age innovations such as computers, printers, faxes, emails, and even the internet were rather conspicuously absent.
Overall, I happily give this fine little guide a five star rating. It is a true bargain for the price.

Love It but Don't Love It Alone March 26, 2006

I give this handy little book a whopping five stars. I love the size of Easy Spanish Phrase Book and its useful sentences.
Very portable and loaded with common everyday phrases.
Here's a tip.
I am using my Easy Spanish Phrase Book with a CD course entitled Behind the Wheel Spanish. I just finished level 1 and 2 and will soon move on to level 3.
It's amazing how important these phrases are and how they continually pop up in everyday conversation and how much more effective they are when you can hear them
on the CD.
Naturally, your choice for sentence formation is limited if you just stick to Easy Spanish Phrase Book. There's only so much you can fit into this tiny book.
That's why I went with a full CD course and full text like Behind the Wheel Spanish.
But when I am pressed for time and space, all I take along is Easy Spanish Phrase Book.
