Cuenta con muchos ejercicios y justo como lo dice el propio libro, va de menos a más
I've been trying to figure out, for a while now, what is missing and what I can do about it. One of my challenges is I don't even know English grammar in a formal sense. Another issue has been that the thousands of words of Spanish I've memorized, have not been presented – and exercised – in a sufficiently methodical and interesting way. Lack of auditory and spoke practice has been another issue. Another has been little practice in sentence construction, because material is either too trivial or too complicated.
Through time I've attempted to address many of these impediments. However, I haven't found a single, simple, practical, ENGAGING book to tie everything together . . . Until now. This book is just short of 300 pages, and it somehow manages to find that middle ground of teaching complete intermediate Spanish, without being overwhelming.
How does it do this? Vocabulary words are CAREFULLY chosen and presented to fit together into sentences to cover a huge range of most-common situations. For example, in an early chapter this book presents numbers, times of day, months, seasons, etc. and ties all these things together. Another thing I noticed is that the words which are covered are generally well-balanced, using things such as opposites, so they are learned more memorably and able to be interchanged within sentences. It's a small thing - which most books neglect - which makes the material flow really well.
A lot of essential "glue" words and syntax is presented and EXPLAINED in a smooth, complete way I've not seen before. An example of this is the presentation of que, tan, and como on pages 113-1115. These words are ESSENTIAL and a large part of natural speech, but I've never been able to understand them well enough, in context, to feel comfortable using them in my own phrasing.
I'm going to leave my review off here, because I broke away after getting to page 120 to write this recommendation. This is NOT a “beginner” book. But it is also not a particularly advanced nor complicated book. That is quite a balancing act, which most Spanish books fail at rather miserably. So what is it? Well, I suspect (but will never know) it is the sort of book a smart beginner would benefit immensely from getting early on and reading, and reviewing, at sensible intervals. I have a funny feeling that if I had found and read this book 6 years ago I would have made considerably more progress, more naturally, than I otherwise made cramming vocabulary and syntax in small, disjointed chunks.
