Learn Spanish Easily with 1500+ Essential Phrases

AdventureMomAdventureMom: I like this book for the most part but I’m only a few pages in and noticed that there are some inconsistencies with the wording and some of them are not even the correct translation. For example, it may use “el” instead of “ese” or “esa” when referring to the word “that”. And on the very next page there’s a phrase that translates “can I have” to “me das” but me das means “give me”. Although the intention of the phrase is ultimately the same, I prefer to have a more direct translation.

Jacob Milanowski: This phrase book is alright, but it does not have enough phrases and words that you actually need to know while travelling. Most of the book should just be words you need to know while at a restaurant like what different foods are.

Simon Geoghegan: I probably will NOT use this Phrase Book at all. For one thing it is too BIG - I'd need a back pack not a pocket to carry it. Secondly it seems to be all about phrases. "I need directions to the best local food." Is something I will never say in England, so why would I want to say it in Spain! I want phrases where I can insert words, like "Which street is the XXXXX on?" Where XXXXX might be Post Office, Supermarket, Restaurant, Barber Shop, Car Rental ... Give me the phrases then let me choose the words to put in. This book doesn't suit me at all, so I will probably give it to a charity shop.

Drew R.: The media could not be loaded.  Today, I’m going to review Easy Spanish Phrase Book: Over 1500 Common Phrases For Everyday Use. One of the things that really stands out the most about this book is that it’s a very comprehensive phrasebook. Some of the categories of Spanish vocabulary covered are:

Colors
Numbers
Greetings
Dates and Telling Time
Ordering food
Transportation
Religion
Money and Shopping
Children and Pets
Directions
Small talk
The weather
At the hotel

My favorite vocabulary topic in this book is the one covering Spanish vocabulary for technology. That’s where I learned the Spanish words for:

WIFI
WIFI password
Computer programmer
Developer
Website
Webcam
log-in information
email server

This book even has a section on vocabulary to use when going out on a date with a Spanish speaker which I thought that was a very interesting and fun topic to learn about. Another thing I really like about this book is its price. Both the ebook and paperback books are very economically priced. Because of this book’s economical price and the tremendous amount of useful Spanish taught, I...

Michael Hudson: Their previous books have really helped me a lot, particularly Spanish Short Stories For Beginners and Intermediate Spanish Short Stories. I did the usual rounds of Duolingo and others and became very good at predicting what the computer programs wanted and would score highly. Unfortunately, I found that when it came to actually to have a conversation with real Spanish speaking people nothing came out, my brain would just lock up. I was alright asking for products in the shops and restaurants but useless at conversations. I realised that the best way to learn was to actually read out aloud and developed the mind and verbal muscle memory. It started to work and I bought Conversational Spanish Dialogues and practised to the point where. when a Spanish speaker offered to speak English, I refused and pushed myself into trying to do it in Spanish. Provided they would slow down, I could now hold a conversation in Spanish and be understood. The difficulty now was knowing what to say to start or end a conversation. This book has changed that, because language is built on short sentences, or phrases linked together, I can't put the book down. Now that I am isolating because of the...
