Title: Only for the highly motivated
Review: I bought this book (and several others) as part of a plan to learn some Spanish prior to a trip to Ecuador.I will readily admit that I did not make it very far into this book. While I liked the fact that it teaches Spanish for the Western Hemisphere, I had real trouble trying to learn to speak by reading. I did not buy the cassettes that are available for use with this book. I think I would have been more successful if I had.The book also moves very quickly. So if you don't want to go through 3 chapters of "hi, how are you" conversation at the beginning, you might like this book.I eventually purchased a learn-from-tape program (Pimsleur, no book needed) that worked for my personal style.
Is the review positive or negative?
