A light-hearted approach to learning Spanish. Very young and fresh, present Spanish in an everyday, conversational context without the dull interpretation of grammar that turns off so many new language students.
Warning though - some of the translations are slightly off in context. All in all, a good place to start.

I liked it and it was understandable, but I didn't realize it until after I borrowed the book from the library that it was the Spanish dialect of Spain when I meant to get a book for Central and South American dialect.
