The best way to learn a language is total immersion (no, not the Rosetta Stone program). You go to the country where that language is spoken and you try to speak it. Eventually your need to do things like get food and lodging will force you to pick up at least some of the rudimentary mechanics of the language. If you don't have the time or the money to go to another country, the second-best way to learn another language is to still be a child, when your neuroplasticity is at its best and you're most likely to retain the most information. A middle-aged genius is less likely to pick up a foreign language than someone of average intelligence who is five years old. But, unless you have a time machine or some sort of Benjamin Button-like disease, you're going to find it even harder to travel back in time than to come up with the money to live in a foreign country.

That leaves the third best method to learn another language: this book, provided the language you're trying to learn is Spanish (I don't hazard "Complete Spanish Step-by-Step" will help you pick up Mandarin). It's certainly helped me more than hearing family members squabble on "Caso Cerrado con Dr. Polo" about who called ICE on who. Highest recommendation

Really a Great Guide

I first got the free version of this book through Audible and got so prepared for my official Spanish language classes. It's amazing how the audio system of humans work when learning a new language. During the actual classes in Guatemala I got the written version as a companion and supplement to the audio book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an English language background but wants to learn Spanish. Que tenga buen dia!

I listened to the audiobook version on Audible. I have no doubt that this would work a million times better as a physical book. As it is though it's a pretty good system. No gimmicks. No dialogue to memorize. Just the basics. You learn vocab. You learn grammar. You do drills to really get them. The author frequently reminds you to try to think in the language. The order in which subjects are taught is mostly intuitive, although I think a few things were questionable - I would have brought in present perfect a bit sooner, for example, though I also see the benefit of introducing past tense earlier. Anyway, this is definitely one of the best language learning textbooks I've come across.

Excellent for learning Spanish.

[Samie Sabet · Rating 3 out of 5]

While it is quite comprehensive, it moves fast and does not allow for repetition.

[Hunter · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a decent method for self study, but I prefer others. I found the first half tedious. The book really starts to shine in the advanced section (from Chapter 16) which I like more.
