I found this book through a recommendation from a friend of mine, who had told me that this is the first approach to Spanish learning that seems to work with him. She hasn't finished the course but actually was able to formulate sentences to tell the help what needs to be done around the house. Even the help noticed!I started this book as well (I have some basic knowledge of Spanish) and so far found it to be a useful approach to learning. It is not so "word memorizing oriented" and quickly challenges you to formulate your own sentences based on logic acquired in the book.The reason I give four out 5 stars is because I believe this book would work even better in the audio format. I can imagine using it while driving and progressing quite quickly through it. I hope the publishers take note.
Having Spanish speaking employees a friend of mine recommended "Spanish for the busy housewife" to me. I have used many methods in the past and concluded that I'm just not going to learn this language. I found I would need much more time and effort than I was willing to give up. Using Spanish for the busy housewife changed it all! Instead of waiting 3-4 hours into a lesson to get to the targeted scene and conversation I was learning Spanish for in the first place, David has put together an amazing combination of fundamentals and targeted scenes so that I was constantly engaged and made great progress picking up things up. Mucho Gracias!
This is a basic but helpful approach when you have to deal with basic concepts around the house. I have not finished the book yet, but I intend to what with all my other Spanish resources.
I bought this book for the Kindle, and although I am not particularly language talented, and never learned Spanish in school, I was amazed at how easy it was to pick up the basic rules and vocabulary using the methods in Spanish for the Busy Housewife.It is quick, fun and useful. I can heartily recommend it.
