Best I've Used! One Device of Many You Need To Learn A Language - Awesome beginner book. This book assumes you know zero spanish and when you are done you can understand present tense grammer fairly well and obtain a good amount of real world vocabulary. Each lesson teaches you one grammer topic and one vocabulary topic. Further lessons keep building on prior lessons too. I started learning Spanish 4 years ago as my job has many Latinos. Today, I am not fluent by any means but I can converse easily and hold my own well. I test at level B2 if using those youtube level videos haha. I often translate at my workplace too. This book helped me greatly with the reading, writing, Grammer, and vocabulary parts of learning a language. It is an awesome starting point but you NEED MORE! Conversing with coworkers aided alot in pronunciation and understanding. I suggest speaking with Spanish speakers (they don't care if you sound horrible, they appreciate the effort), listen to the news on Telemundo in spanish with spanish subtitles on. They speak clearly and enunciate well. Watch your favorite movies that you already know most of the words to and understand the plot ahead of time. Once I completed this book I bought the intermediate and advanced versions of this series. Very well made!!! Review: Basic and easy understanding. - To be fair I’ve been studying Portuguese prior to learning Spanish so maybe it helps a bit, but this is one of the only books I’ve been so eager to do and get through with my coffee in the morning. The lessons are well laid out and easy to understand and to check your answers with the key in the back is nice. Anything that is a workbook style of learning and rewriting the questions and answers in a notebook helps reinforces it. Update: 12/10/24 Well I’m happy to say I’ve completed this book finally; in between working on other projects and languages - I enjoyed the learning experience with this format. Admittedly I still hadn’t used the Audio portion, I just rewrote the questions and answers in more than two 5 subject spiral bound notebooks. Even wrote smaller and took notes in the margins; I was surprised when handwriting it took up so much volume. My next venture might be the vocabulary book in this series as it will expand and reinforced what I already learned in a similar fashion. (Also tip: read each sentence and answer out loud to yourself or your Latin speaking friends it helps a lot). Good luck In Short: PROS: Easy bite size sections with a kind of chapter review quiz to grasp your understanding. (Previous to this I bought the (Complete All in One) book but it was too advanced, I stepped down to this and feel my next step will be with the aforementioned. They also offer the flashcards and audio on the Language lab but haven’t used it yet, maybe will update it for review at a later date. CONS: There are some section questions that ask you to judge a statement as being true or false but some include (proper nouns) actors, singers or places that I’m unfamiliar with, thus I have to guess or skip the question. There are a lot of examples and questions but I feel there needs to be more and variety. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #26,354 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10 in Spanish Language Instruction (Books) #202 in Words, Language & Grammar (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (770) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.62 x 10.88 inches | | Edition | 3rd | | ISBN-10 | 1260453499 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1260453492 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 274 pages | | Publication date | March 3, 2020 | | Publisher | McGraw Hill | ## Images ![Practice Makes Perfect: Basic Spanish, Premium Third Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Z5XjvZgGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Starter Book.
