.Latin American Spanish Phrasebook

from: Lonely Planet

2003-10
I originally picked up the 3rd edition some time ago, and found it to be a wonderful reference. The layout was easy to follow, and the dictionary had most of the words that I would use in brief conversations. The grammar section also helped me pick up the lttle differences that seperated Spanish form Portuguese. Because it was so pratical and user friendly I decided to pick up a set of these books for a brief Spanish course I was going to teach. Unfortunately the 4th edition almost entirely left out any talk on grammar. While not much of an issue if the book is used exclusively as a phrasebook, it is extremely limiting in what this book can teach you. Lists of common verbs are absent. List of conjugations are also absent. Unbelievable! ... Read More:

I was simply stunned by the number of detailed maps in this book. The amount of information for each region of Kenya is outstanding and well done. If you need to know it - it's in this book. Hotels, restaurants, parks, reserves, tribes, Swahili it's all here. Very nicely organized.

The details on tourism spots, food and drink must help foreigners, visitors who need some guidance. The history and culture notes are too biased towards Spanish occupation. But what is really missing is an objective idea of the languages we speak. If you buy this guide you get the impression that Spanish is the language of the people, with a supposedly "handy Spanish language chapter" but the truth is that not more than 10% actually speak Spanish. If you want to communicate with the people you meet on the street, not just those in the hotels, Spanish is not what you want. What about native linguistic groups like Quechua and Aymara?
