Look. This handy little book 1001 Spanish Words is more than a dictionary for one major reason. Each word is presented in alphabetical order with a simple and illustrative sentence next to it, followed by an English translation. This is much more useful than 'just a dictionary'.
If this approach pleases you, and if you truly aspire to speak Spanish, you must hear and repeat the language and understand while you're doing it.
I recommend [[ASIN:1893564428 Behind the Wheel Spanish/Complete Illustrated Text/Answer Keys/8 One Hour]] as the main focus of your learning. The CDs are great alone because they have an American instructor and a native Spanish speaker so you don't have to look up anything.
The other great part is that it comes with a complete book in Spanish and English.
By all mean, do buy 1001 Most Useful Spanish Words. For the price it's a steal. But then go on to learn really speak the language fast with [[ASIN:1893564428 Behind the Wheel Spanish/Complete Illustrated Text/Answer Keys/8 One Hour]] |
