Summary: Great workbook for beginners in Spanish.
Comment: "Spanish the Easy Way" is an excellent workbook for those who are truly beginners or those who are restarting again in the Spanish language. I used this book when I was teaching elementary school Spanish, grades 1-5 to Hispanic and non-hispanic children and the short stories, practice exercises, crossword puzzles and additional vocabulary really enhanced the students comprehension of the language without overburdening them with grammar and other language technicalities that are more suitable for advanced learners. You will gain a good base in Spanish and have some competent communications skills if you study the book sequentially without jumping ahead because the verbs are taught in a logical pattern which is the most important concept to grasp when learning any language not only Spanish. The book covers the present tense and the simple past tense of "ar", "er", "ir" and irregular verbs that must be learnt immediately to be able to converse even at the most basic level. The rest of the book covers grammar topics appropriate for beginners along with the formation of short but correct grammatical phrases. Another bonus is that an answer key is provided at the back of the book which will enable to check your answers as you progress through the lessons. The two downfalls of this workbook include: 1) it does not include cassette tapes and if you are a beginner and embarking upon self taught study correct pronunciation and phonetics will be challenge so it would be best use this book as a complement to classroom instruction 2) it could have been organized more logically because the current format is not easy for a beginner to follow. However, this is truly a good starter workbook in Spanish. Just be patient with yourself since language learning is a challenge and most of all enjoy the lessons and the short stories as they are quite entertaining. All the best!

Summary: Good practice for reading in Spanish
Comment: I like this book for its many Spanish short stories. The stories are written starting on a very simple level and becoming progressively challenging as you move on through the book. After each story there are exercises that support the new vocabulary and grammer that are introduced in that story. It is a good way to expose yourself to Spanish at your own pace. I think that this book is a good tool for you to self-teach yourself (only if you are already familiar with the Spanish language) and a good supplement for those learning Spanish at a school. I can see how this book could be confusing for someone who is not at all familiar with Spanish. I would say that the typesetting of this book could be improved but I think that the reading practice this book offers far outweighs any design flaws.

Summary: 4th Edition is a huge upgrade from the 3d.
Comment: This edition of Spanish the Easy way is a tremendous improvement over it's predecessor. 432pgs. chock-full of upgraded grammar instruction, excercises, and new stories/dialogues that adds more material.
This work by Silverstein, et.al. continues to be the gold standard for Spanish instruction at the novice level. You hit the ground running with this resource; there are not any baby steps. For the fast learner as well as the learner who has had previous experience/exposure to Spanish. Will definitely prepare you for the intermediate level, which is covered very nicely by Spanish Now! Level 2.
