This product is designed to teach you basic Spanish vocabulary, including the words, phrases and sentences that you will need to know in order to communicate with Spanish speakers throughout the entire Spanish-speaking world, including Spanish-speakers in the United States. This product is not intended to be a grammar book. Unlike many Spanish phrase books that were developed in the past, this book is not limited to the needs of a typical traveler. In designing this book, special attention was given to the fact that the Spanish speaking population in the United States is rapidly increasing. With this in mind vocabulary is included that the typical traveler may never have to use. For example, this product includes vocabulary for technology, home appliances, and car parts among other vocabulary topics. This entire audio CD is in Spanish. However, the publisher provides the listener with a link to download a pdf transcript that has a complete English and Spanish translation of the entire audio CD.

Summary: Kinda Dry
Comment: This would be a pretty good tool but it's hard to learn from.
I have the print and audio versions.
The format and information are both good, but for me it is like reading a dictionary... you read and understand it, see how the info is useful, but in the end it is hard to retain.
Probably great as a supplement to formal coursework, but on its own it collects dust on my shelf (or in my computer).
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not good
Comment: I purchased this to try and learn some basic Spanish because I have a trip to Mexico coming up. This is NOT a good program. I guess it assumes you know some Spanish, because it doesn't teach you what the words mean! And it goes fast. After many other purchases, I have now started the Rosetta Stone program, and it is by far the best and worth the investment.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Given little opportunity to learn due to speed of CD.
Comment: If you're planning on learning Spanish from the tiny book, forget it.
The CD is spoken so rapidly that one does not have time to write the phrase down phonetically. It was a waste of money for me and I've had 12 semister hours of college Spanish.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not for the beginner!
Comment: For the price, you can't beat it. I purchased both of her CDs.
But you better have a good understanding of Spanish (i.e., be comfortable speaking and listening). I would leave out the word "most powerful" in the title. It is sort of misleading, but I would still purchase it again.
I would have preferred to listen to Anna Rivera's voice.

Summary: Demasiado rapido para mi
Comment: I bought this book, and its companion, 1,000 words, hoping to take the next step in Spanish. This book requires a great leap. The phrases are repeated only once, in full-speed Spanish, with NO time between for you to try to repeat, or think about what you just heard. Just "Numero Uno: Phrase, Numero Dos: phrase." No English translation (though you can download that from Anna's website). I'm sure at some point, it will be helpful, but for now it's way too fast. I've put it and its companion CD away for when I'm much more fluent.
