Review: The very first page, after the contents, was set out wonderfully. An excellent list of common expressions that we use every day, like, "That's great!" (or superb, excellent, well done etc. ) I have done some Spanish covering beginners and intermediate courses, but not by reading. This was an instant success for me. Nice print, nice paper, good illustrations and took me straight into learning and improving with joy. When I look back to how we learnt French and German at school, wow, how I could have got on with this approach. I returned to learn languages later, but I find that Michel Thomas and Paul Noble are great, but, in the end, I need to read the language too, and learn the spellings too.
