Spanish Phrases May 4, 2008
This book is compact and it is easy to find a lot of common Spanish phrases quickly and accurately.
 This is helpful April 5, 2008
As someone who knows almost no Spanish, I thought this book was helpful. Though my husband, who is a pretty good Spanish speaker, said that some of the phrases in here too formal and aren't really used by people who speak Spanish as their first language.
 Spanish helps March 17, 2008
With as much Spanish that is now being spoken in the US, we must learn just to keep up and retain what we have.
Useful, inexpensive and portable March 5, 2008
I recently spent two weeks in South America and this little brief pamphlet was indispensible. Its small size made it easy to carry in a pants pocket. It is organized by groups of phrases that one needs in particular travel situations such as on an "Airplane", in the "Bank", at a "Restaurant" (particularly useful). This made it easy to find a needed phrase quickly. It is the perfect thing to study on the airplane as you begin your trip. But perhaps the most useful feature of the book is the phonetic pronunciation guide for each phase. Knowing the phrase is not very useful if you totally mangle the pronunciation. These pronunciation guides will get your meaning across in most situations. This book will not teach you Spanish and its brevity means you will encounter many situations it does not cover, but it will certainly get you around in most large Spanish speaking cities where many folks speak English and all you need is some occasional help.
 Not Very Useful February 8, 2008

As someone with basic spanish language skills which allows me to get most of what I need in Mexico, I bought this book to use as quick reference. It's not very good. First, it's too large for your pocket. Second, it doesn't lend itself to easy and fast reference. Third, it is not geared towards "Mexican" spanish. I would recommend the "Lonely Planet Guide to Mexican Spanish" instead.
