I've been interested in learning languages since I was little. For me learning new languages is fun, and it has been my quest to master at least 5 different languages. In learning new languages, I believe everyone has their own method on how to learn them, which system is best suited for them etc. One particular method may be suited for some people and makes it easy for them to understand, but not for others. That's why it is not easy to find the "right" book if you want to learn new language by self-taught. And this book by Frank Zambrano is my kind of book. I find this book a great source for learning basic Spanish, and the systematical method it used makes it easy to understand [at least for me]. You'll learn how to pronounce the alphabets, tenses, how to conjugate, full of excercises to practice what you've learned in every chapter. It also provides some Spanish idioms, and also Spanish to English and English to Spanish [mini] dictionary. I had only 3 weeks to read this book, because that's how long the library gave me ;P. Still a long way to master it, but I've already got the basic ideas, thanks to this book.

But this edition has many errors here and there, be that typographical or editing. Nevertheless, I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning Spanish. I don't guarantee you will have the same opinion, but at least it's worth your time. C'mon, let's learn some Español!

I got this book to teach my children and spouse to be able to speak, read, and understand my native language
