L. Adams The Language Heretic´s Super Crash Course in Spanish

I would recommend any one to read The Language Heretic's Super Crash Course in Spanish( even advanced speakers. I lived in spain for 4 years 2000 - 2004 and done an intensive spanish course in Benalmadena, I first came across this book on holiday in Costa Rica at my friends house recently, March 2009 and started to read it and the reason why that I rate this book highly is because of this; my spanish teacher always explained to us that the most important thing in any language is quite simply "communication" and this book just confirmed what I had already had learnt, the art of communication, if you are a beginner and you read this book you will understand and think in the language.

L. Adams The Language Heretic's Super Crash Course in Spanish Review Well written. Nicely laid out. Easy to understand and follow. Concise. The author has cleverly interspersed humor and has demonstrated his sensitivity, especially to the older student, the need for a non-intimidating text.

L. Adams The Language Heretic's Super Crash Course in Spanish: I wrote this book for all the people I know who have had so much difficulty getting CONVERSATIONAL over the years in this language.

So many people study Spanish, but the vast majority of those who do NEVER actually get to the point of being able to carry on a conversation with a Spanish speaker.

What too often happens is that they spend a great deal of time on grammar and verb conjugations ad infinitum, build a limited vocabulary.

The other problem is something that is normal for all of us:

a.) We don't want to open our mouths to speak another language unless we can speak it perfectly, and

b.) All of us are self-conscious about speaking if we aren't perfect.

My book is based on the fact that:

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE FLUENT TO SPEAK SPANISH.

YOU HAVE TO SPEAK SPANISH TO BE FLUENT.

If you want to be conversational in Spanish and able to talk to any Spanish speaker about just about anything and you wish to do so in a hurry, then this IS the book for you.

I should know. I wrote the book!

L. Adams The Language Heretic's Super Crash Course in Spanish: As a busy person who needed to learn quickly, this book was a dream come true. I've tried other courses in the past three years, since moving to Spain, but I never got anywhere.

This book changed my life and was a perfect solution to my struggles with Spanish, because the author has tricks for remembering the essentials and revelations for learning ONLY what you NEED to know what is practical. There's none of the typical language book stuff, like "the pencil is yellow."

This book well and truly cuts through all of the normal difficulties of learning Spanish. It is the most logical presentation of verb use I've ever seen, and it makes using the Spanish verbs simple and logical. Because of its focus on cognates, it makes building a substantial vocabulary in a hurry an enjoyable and easy task. The pronunciation guides actually work and make learning to pronounce the words properly easy as pie.

If you want to speak Spanish, don't pick up any other book but this one.
