As a Teacher it's easy to spot if someone knows what they are doing when they put together a learning resource. In truth I haven't simply significantly advanced my Spanish, but also my understanding of good teaching practice. If you are dedicated to learning Spanish off your own back then this is a great starting point. The vast majority of Castilian and Mexican irregularites are dealt with and I found this didn't present any source of confusion. If I was to make any criticism I would say that it probably won't appeal to young learners or those who are not prepared to invest time putting pen to paper. There is a hint of American cultural bias with some of the examples and content but it doesn't diminish from it's effectiveness. On rare occasions you get something more than what you pay for and that is exactly what this book represents.

Practice Makes Perfect - Basic Spanish October 24, 2009
N. W. Manton (England, Essex)
I recently enrolled at my local college for Beginners Spanish and my course tutor recommended this book. There are so many books to choose from on the subject of learning Spanish - 'Practice Makes Perfect Basic Spanish' I have found to be a tremendous help in getting to grips with the basics in Spanish. Full of interesting exercises and with the layout being simple and easy to follow the vocabulario and key words section with each exercise ensure you progress with confidence. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is trying to learn Spanish in actual fact Perfect Practice makes Perfect and I have certainly found this book to do just that !
 Exhaustive exercises & great value May 25, 2009

This really helped me to consolidate my basic Spanish knowledge. The topics are short but the exercises so exhaustive that you feel you've always know the topic by the end. It's also great value as there's no filler here - just exercises after exercises. It's not a substitute for classes though as it won't help you with pronunciation.
By the way, this series of books seems to use American Spanish, so be prepared for `jugo' instead of `zumo', `carro' instead of `coche', differing uses of the formal form of verbs, etc.
