A Beginner's Guide to Learning Spanish the Word-and-Picture Way

Refresher or introduction, works well, simple, effective. I wish I had ordered this for my first trip into Mexico. I am looking forward to my return with this somewhat dated book, which I am sure will serve me well.

This is an excellent beginner's book which quickly helps the reader speak in full sentences in Spanish. My husband and I found it to be very helpful when we first began learning Spanish and I recently purchased it for our granddaughter.

There is something about the images that make the accompanying phrases stick in your mind. I learned pronunciation in high school Spanish, but just never learned enough everyday vocabulary. This little book is helping fill that void.

It's been in print since 1961... for good reason: it's excellent and so easy to use.
I am in a situation where I pretty much have to learn to speak Spanish on my own, and this book is a great tool for self-study.

For a quick primer and introduction to learning Spanish, "See It and Say It in Spanish" was presented in an interesting format seemingly geared for easy learning. It was fun, suitably formatted for quick learning and easy to follow. With all the expensive and bloated language courses available today, it was refreshing to discover that learning Spanish can be both fun and inexpensive. Enjoyable learning experience.

This book is awesome. I've taken many Spanish classes but for some reason, it clicks better with this book. It's clearly written and simple. I keep it in my truck for easy reference. It was recommended to me by a friend, and I would recommend it to anyone else.

this book is a modest size paperback. most pages have a number of small outline sketches of various items and animals. under the sketches are spanish words for the item.
there are many short phrases in spanish that use 2 conjugations of spanish verbs with the noun. after a few pages of this; a quiz of the material just covered is given in spanish. the answers are given on the next page often in spanish. there is a small dictionary of the terms in the book at the end.
this book would be fine for a beginner trying to learn enough spanish to get by on a trip to a spanish speaking country,

The simple idea underlying this text is fine, but its execution into a book is fundamentally flawed. The idea is to combine line drawings with one or two sentences of text to illustrate Spanish prose. The consistent flaw is that second person, singular and plural, verb forms are combined with third person verb forms, thus creating a verbal mess that is both undesirable and insulting to a reader willing to work toward understanding Spanish. To consistently reduce the six standard verb forms of a tense into four, and to illustrate that with charts, is an aggressive misrepresentation of the language, regardless how "practical" or "true-to-life" such abbreviations may appear, and is a horrid presentation of a language that deserves better.
