Product Description
Fundamental Spanish is a clear, concise grammar book for teachers and beginner to intermediate self-learners. The book is structured so that each chapter becomes the base for the next. Once a lesson is understood, it becomes the basis for the next. The sequence of learning is orderly, logical and clear. There are tons of written and oral exercises to facilitate and guide learning so that self-learners can test their own progress and practice speaking and understanding. A pronunciation chart is provided and pronunciation tips are given throughout the book as reminders that the ultimate goal of this grammar book is not only to be able to read and write Spanish, but also to speak and understand Spanish. For the teachers: Fundamental Spanish is based on the idea of the task chain; the successful completion of one sequence of gramar is dependent on the successful completion of the task before. The book builds the grammatical base lesson by lesson. The order and clarity of the explanations will give you the flexibility to move as quickly or as slowly as you wish as you teach grammar and conversation. It can also be used to review any elements that your particular class requires.

Great Spanish book for beginners October 1, 2008
I am taking Spanish and we have a terrible book full of silly pictures. So I ordered this book and passed it around to our class to review. We all were impressed with the way Spanish is taught thru this book. Very comprehensive and easy to learn. This is a must!!!!
Definitely works! August 11, 2008
I'm still studying with this book, and it is extremely helpful! Vocabulary is quickly provided to the reader and before you know it you're spouting simple Spanish sentences instead of just given phrases to memorize. There are exercises after each new thing you learn, making it easier for content to stay in your mind and actually learning it. An answer key is provided at the end of the book to check your work.
Excellent learning aid, especially in Kindle format. August 10, 2008
Hoping to perhaps retire to Mexico, I am endeavoring to learn Spanish on my own after 30+ years has passed since I had to take Spanish in college. Although it certainly is not sufficient by itself (because one needs to actually hear the language being spoken), I find it is one of the best books I've purchased for learning the Spanish language. The material is very well organized, and I concur with those reviewers who rave about the book.
The vocabulary lists, especially, are very helpful to me. I find that, in browsing them as I work through the chapters, I can refresh myself on what I used to know and pick up new vocabulary. It's encouraging to realize that, even with my native English vocabulary, I forget the meanings of words I don't often use and a dictionary is always at hand if I don't understand something. I feel like less of a dufus, in other words. The lists in Fundamental Spanish are plentiful, but each list is not overly long, so I can literally review a list when I'm watching TV, when a commercial comes on, and pick it back up later. Having the book in Kindle format, of course, makes it very easy and convenient to always have the book with me, so I get far more instruction and practice than I would if it were sitting on a bookshelf.
Highly recommended.
A must, to teach or review August 8, 2008
Fundamental Spanish is excellent for students and teachers of Spanish. It provides an accessibility into particular grammatical subjects as well as providing excellent content for learning or reviewing Spanish grammar. Without a doubt, Fundamental Spanish could be used as a text for beginners (adults/college prep) who have a grasp of grammar in general.

The book was required for a Spanish Class, was received in a very timely manner, however, the price listed on the back of the book was $26.95. Amazon charged $29.00 in addition for the shipping. What was that about??
