Summary: Disappointing for an "Idiots" book
Comment: "Idiots Spanish" is disappointing on the scale of "Idiots" books. I've purchased and read several of their series for research at work and all have proven very helpful, but this one falls short of being fun, interactive, or relevant information. The teaching methodology used in this book is useless. It's more of a reference-type book than a book you could use to learn the language.
My recommendation: skip this "Idiots" book and go with a combination of Pimsleur's Spanish tapes/cds to learn the spoken and "Practical Spanish Grammar" to learn the written.
Buenas suerte!

Summary: Great!
Comment: I found this book very helpful in that it teaches a variety of things from the basics to advanced level Spanish. Some reviewers said it only taught rudimentary phrases and such. I disagree totally. If you learn it you can get to a point where you can manipulate the language to be able to say anything. And yes it does give you a lot of words to take in, yet w/practice it is possible to reach a high level of understanding.

Summary: maybe for a traveller...
Comment: I'm not advanced enough in my spanish studies to verify the mistakes other reviewers mentioned, but I wouldn't doubt their existence. I bought this book thinking it would be a good introductory primer to the language - it is, only if you know some sentence structure already and are familiar with the language to some extent.
It is also focused on the traveller, going in depth into phrases for hotels, airplanes and transportation. When I tried to look up the word "dog", it wasn't there. Not even "animal" or "pet" is listed in the index.
I'm going to set this book aside for when I'm more familiar with the language and want a quick primer for travelling--and get something else to really teach me spanish.
