I had three months (conveniently punctuated by Christmas, no less!) to learn some Spanish before we headed out on a trip to Costa Rica, so after doing a little research I picked up this wonderful book for grammar and vocabulary and Synergy Spanish for an audio component. Both worked excellently for their respective purposes. Despite only making it through 11 sections before we left, I found this book to be easy to understand, efficiently thorough, and actually very fun to use. Many of the translation exercises pull from pop culture like translating a paragraph about Ron Weasley, Hermione Grainger, and Harry Potter. The way this book is organized means that you can see results nearly immediately, and the flash card app for your smartphone makes it very simple to practice the vocabulary for each chapter.I am a homeschooling Mom, and as soon as my 11-year old daughter saw how much fun I was having with my Spanish book, she requested on too and has been diligently working on even on weekends. Then my 13-year old daughter, who is studying French, decided she wanted the French version. When my Mother, who has studied French for several years, was over recently, my 13yo showed Mom her French book, and now my Mother is buying one for herself to review the French grammar. In the course of homeschooling our six children, I have looked over and tried out several different language programs including Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur, Duolingo (which isn't exactly a complete program), and for Spanish I think that the combination of this book and Synergy Spanish is the most effective that I've found so far. Quite excellent and fun!
