This book is a very good idea, but it is riddled with errors. Every page contains at least 2-3 errors. I will not speak to the Spanish, as I'm not a native Spanish speaker. It is the English translations that are troublesome. In many cases the wrong tense is used, in others the wrong meaning of the word is used. In still others the translations do not make sense or unnecessary words are inserted or words are left out. This could have been avoided by having a native English speaker proof read the book. Below are a couple of examples:The mother hugs to all her children. Should be, the mother hugs all her children.The baby fell asleep as soon as he go to bed. Should be, the baby fell asleep as soon as he went to bed.The rabbit ahead of the tortoise. Should be, the rabbit is ahead of the tortoise.Elena is thinning because she is on a diet. Should be, Elena is getting (becoming) thin because she is on a diet.Unfortunately these are not all or the worst errors, just examples.Although this book is meant for sentence practice for English speakers, my Spanish speaking friend and I use these types of books to study together. This does not work if you do not understand English. I would respectfully ask the author to have this book carefully proof read by a native English speaker, as most of the errors are common errors made by Spanish speakers of English. I would be more than happy to re-rate the book.
This book is packed with Spanish verbs in context and is a great resource for teaching myself Spanish. I took 3 years of Spanish in high school and wish I would have had a book like this. It would have made learning the language a lot easier. If you are interested in teaching yourself Spanish, I would highly recommend this book.
I love to travel and learn other languages. This book is perfect for me given my familiarity with the Spanish language. It has helped me improve and expand my vocabulary, and absorb sentence structure and grammar as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to anyone learning the language.
This is a must have resource if you're in the process of learning Spanish. It is so simple to follow and shows you how to use verbs correctly in a way that is easy to remember. It starts off with over a thousand verbs used in context, then gives you a huge list of Spanish verbs with the English translation. There's also a bonus section at the back with the top 100 used words in Spanish like haber, su, cuando, and more. I took several years of Spanish in high school but always had trouble with verbs. This made more sense to me than my teacher ever did. Too bad I didn't have it back then, but at least I've got it now. We're planning a trip to Costa Rica this fall and this is going to be a huge help in getting my Spanish back up to speed.
1000 Spanish Verbs in Context offers readers a comprehensive list of actually 1200 verbs in everyday context where you can learn how to use the verbs in a sentence. There are so many verbs, all the verbs you will need to speak Spanish on most levels. The sentences are in different tenses and are well written. The value from this book us unbelievable, a must for all serious learners of the Spanish language. I look forward to buying the audio version where I can listen to the sentences. Fantastic!
Great book. i have always loved to learn another language, aside English and i found this book very helpful indeed. i didnt know a word in Spanish before now. This book is very well written, and I simply devoured it!The author made this book very easy to read and understand.Overall, a great book.
Great book. I took Spanish in high school and would have found this book helpful back then. It also had a list of the most used words in Spanish, which is really helpful. Great resource for traveling. Recommend.
I would love to see this in a expanded version with all verb tenses. More verbs and more sentence samples. This is a good start at a good price. The English is sometimes awkward, but the Spanish seems correct. The author must be a Spanish speaker. Thanks for a useful book!
