Master the Basics: Spanish (Spanish and English Edition)

The new, updated edition of this language review book summarizes Spanish grammar, pronunciation, parts of speech, idioms, vocabulary, synonyms, antonyms, and phrases for telling time, days, and months. New in this edition is the currently revised system of alphabetizing, the addition of frequently used words and phrases in technical and computer communication, and more exercises, puzzles, and word games than ever. The book is filled with practice exercises with answers in reading comprehension and writing proficiency. A diagnostic test with answers opens each chapter, and a chapter-closing test helps language learners measure their progress. This book makes a fine classroom supplement to main textbooks, and also serves as a valuable self-teaching brush-up course for vacation and business travelers to Spanish-speaking countries.
