[Kathleen Garber · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn't do the activities all throughout the book, just the first few chapters. I've decided to buy the book for future use. However it does seem like a great book for learning Spanish. It's more for those wishing to travel and want to learn those words first.

I still don't think I'll ever be fluent, but at least I have the basics down.

This book helps me understand the language very well and helps me to be fluent in the Spanish.
