Madrigal s Magic Key to Spanish
>> Synergy Spanish on Steroids
This method is much like the expensive method you can buy in several parts from a website called Synergy Spanish
It makes me wonder which came first the chicken or the egg
Rather than spending hours learning Spanish grammar by rote you re thrown right into the thick of speaking Spanish
You re quickly shown just how much your knowledge of English will translate directly into Spanish from English words that look very similar to their Spanish counterparts
One key to learning Spanish is to be sure to learn the sounds of the Spanish alphabet Once you do you can sound out pretty much everything The Spanish word for meeting mittin is pronounced the same in both languages once you know the Spanish i is pronounced like the long English e Other fun words were beisbol and bistek for baseball and beef steak
With this method you ll eventually learn most of the grammar It s thrown in so you almost don t know it is there I like the website for it s free grammar lessons and translator I also like the The Everything Spanish Grammar Book
Vox makes a Spanish ONLY dictionary that really makes me dig for the definitions
You ll need some type of audio to really learn how to speak Spanish Sometimes you just can t get it right and learning to pronounce the words correctly takes several attempts while listening to the speaker
I like Platquemos Spanish lessons for that You can find it on Ebay for 99 for the whole course at times 55 hours of mp3 s Lots of practice drills
If you want some audio on a budget look for a FSI course on Ebay These are from the Foreign Service Institute and are attractive for 6 99 shipped
Visual Spanish 99 is also good for getting started but it is 99
If I could only have one book to learn Spanish from it would be Madrigal s Magic Key to Spanish it s a bargain IMHO
>> so easy to learn using this book
it s so easy to learn using this book the way she has it you read it instead of studying you just read and all of the sudden you are able to speak spanish a little the more you read the more you learn it s awesome I wish she d write one for every language
>> GOOD BOOK
THIS BOOK MAKES LEARNING SPANISH FUN IT IS A GREAT WAY TO START LEARNING
