Summary: Almost Perfect
Comment: I own many spanish books, but this is the only one I pick up and read again and again. From the section on tricky words that look like English words but mean something TOTALLY different in Spanish to healthy advice on grammar, to lists of useful verbs (including new twists on old verbs ... who knew you could "puedo con" something or that "penso ir" was planning to go). To round out the full experience the author even included a comprehensive section on swearing (and how to avoid it). Well worth the money. I especially enjoyed the section on how NOT to sound like a gringo.
My only beef with the book was the grammar section. After explaining what a subjunctive was, when it was needed, why you needed it and thoroughly sold you on your dire need to master this portion of the language he left out HOW to make a verb subjunctive. Fortunately a bit of looking on the internet popped up that information for me.
I've had the book for about 6 months and still read it again and again getting new phrases and insights from every read. Worth every penny.

Summary: Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish
Comment: My personal thanks to Joseph Keenan for this book, which has been most helpful and invaluable to me. If you are looking for a step-by-step guide to the nuances of grammer, this is not it! :o) This is an entertaining cultural guide to the language! It is funny, which helps me to remember the material presented. I am part Latina, have studied Spanish for years, and have traveled to 7 Spanish speaking countries, and no one thing has done more to improve my Spanish than this book! Now when I speak native speakers comment with surprise at how natural my Spanish sounds. Another plus for this book is that the author goes to great pains to teach you how not to slip up, sound stupid, or unintentionally offend. Joseph Keenan remembers what it was like to be the gringo struggling with the language, and plays the part of the fluent friend you wish you had with you on that last trip to Latin America! Thanks Joseph!!!
