I bought this alongside the Spanish Grammar book as they are both set books for the OU course. High St book shops are a lot more expensive,I saved £5.00!! Both books are set out in a really easy & logical format.
Highly recommended

.Practice Makes Perfect: Complete Spanish Grammar (Practice Makes Perfect Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Grammar- dictionaries and phrasebooks

Book is a good on getting refresh on verbs but I found there quite a many "errors" (not really errors but weird way of putting sentence together, looked like it was translated directly from English. I am not native English speaker so I spotted those). There was sentences is Spanish that you wouldn't say in castellano perhaps something that is common in Latin America.
IMHO If you want to learn castellano find some book written by Spanish but if you just want to play around verbs and get some refresh on Spanish I think this is ok.

.Collins Easy Learning French Dictionary (Easy Learning Dictionary)
City Travel Guides > Books > Grammar- dictionaries and phrasebooks
from: Collins

April 25, 2007
I have a copy of a previous edition of this 'easy learning' dictionary and a friend has the penultimate one to this latest copy. As such, I feel well-versed to comment...
This new release is excellent. My wife and I, both in our 50's, are learning the language and we find this dictionary more than just a resource for looking up the meaning of words. It is a big help to us with our verb tables, especially the tenses and gives good grammatical breakdowns on many aspects of the language.
Perhaps if there was more help with pronounciations, it could claim to be a language course in one book. But that aside, it is very, very, good value and we both love referring to it at every opportunity. Definitely five stars from us!

.501 Spanish Verbs (501 Verbs) (6th Edition)
City Travel Guides > Books > Grammar- dictionaries and phrasebooks
by: Christopher Kendris

January 11, 2007
Can't recommend this enough, if you can learn the verbs you can master the language. Easy to find verbs in all the tenses, handy little tips and explanations. Wish I'd had this when I did my GCSE, would have made studying easier. It comes with a CD that has drills and tests. If you are learning the language, this is a good start.

.Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Pronouns And Prepositions (Practice Makes Perfect Series)

Having struggled at learning Spanish for a few years, and not being able to devote a huge amount of time to it, it's important to make the most of the chances I do get.

The practice makes perfect series is ideal - you get loads of practice, varied exercises, and excellent translation sections, practicing translating a decent sized bit of text which is really helpful.

Pronouns and prepositions are ideally suited to this format, as there are so many different rules and ways to use these items that the only way to learn them is to get practice in doing so.

Highly recommended.

.Collins Spanish Dictionary: Complete & Unabridged (Dictionary)
City Travel Guides > Books > Grammar- dictionaries and phrasebooks
from: Collins

If you are looking for a comprehensive Spanish English dictionary then this is the one to go for. Its a weighty tome, so definitely not one for the schoolbag, but it really has got everything.

If you want to test a dictionary just try looking up some idioms, some new phrases, and some swearwords. This one passes on all three. It explains words so well that I've found myself spending half an hour just reading its notes on Spanish words.

Its miles better than the Oxford Dictionary, which is really only any good for American English.

.BBC Espana Viva: Spanish for Beginners Coursebook
City Travel Guides > Books > Grammar- dictionaries and phrasebooks
by: Derek Utley

June 26, 2003
I bought this course some 10 years when I began learning Spanish, and since then it hasnt been updated in any way. While the course itself is not bad, there are others available which are more modern and generally more interesting (I now teach languages and have seen a number of options for the "average" student beginning a foreign language course). The benefit of this one is that it focuses on communication rather than overloading you with grammar, but is somewhat basic and samey.
