Great Resource for the Money but ..... October 7, 2008
Just as good as Easy Spanish Phrase Book by Dover, 1001 Most Useful Spanish Words is an inexpensive gem of information on the Spanish language. It's actually better than a dictionary because it only gives you one useful word at a time (that way you don't have to choose like with a regular dictionary) and you get to see the word used in a sentence in context.
Still, you can't beat learning to create your own words and sentences, not just those that someone made for you in advance.
For that reason, I am sold on Behind the Wheel Spanish 8 CDs and Book.
Behind the Wheel - Spanish 1 (Behind the Wheel)
I recommend you buy both of these to use together.
I have and I've gotten great results.
 One of the quickest and most economical ways to build your vocabulary September 9, 2008

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2308CASLRE9TL This book has helped me expand my vocabulary really quickly. Watch my video to find out how.
I am also listing what I consider some of the most useful tools for learning Spanish which I think you will enjoy if you love learning Spanish as much as I do:
1. Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Pronouns And Prepositions This book one covers the proper usags of Pronouns and Prepositions and just like Spanish Verb Tenses, you will find plenty of exercises to improve your Spanish-language skills.
2. The Big Red Book of Spanish Verbs: 555 Fully Conjugated Verbs This is a must have book for learning how to conjugate Spanish verbs. But it is more of a resource. I don't think anyone would try to read it from cover to cover.
3. Learning Spanish Like Crazy: Spoken Spanish, Vol. 1 (2 volume set) This is the self-study course that I would recommend for someone that needs to immediately learn how to speak Spanish in order to communicate with Spanish-speakers that have recently arrived in the U.S or for someone that expects to be speaking to people in familiar situations in Latin America. This course comes closer to teaching the colluquial or familiar style of conversational Spanish that you will hear native speakers use among themselves. I like the fact that they only use native Spanish speakers in this course.
4. Mierda!: The Real Spanish You Were Never Taught in School (Plume) This book really covers street Spanish. If you are not easily offened by vulgar language, I recommend this book. Even if you are not the type who would use dirty words in a conversation you'll probably still find this book very entertaining to read.
I hope that my review has been helpful to other Amazon shoppers.
Why Is This Book Useful? August 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After learning German from scratch, I realized about eight months later that my unwieldy and large German-English dictionaries were a drag. They were slow and clunky. When I decided to learn Spanish, the first thought I had was to find the right reference book for starting out with the basic vocabulary. This book has the perfect form and function for the beginning student. When I'm doing exercises, I can find the word I need in this book without skipping a beat or losing my train of thought. Buy this book if you're looking for efficiency. It has, for the most part, all the vocabulary a beginning student needs without the clutter of word entries a student doesn't need. It's easy to work with because I know from the moment I need it whether it will have the word I need or not. It's a two dollar workhorse that's a pleasure to use.
Outstanding value July 16, 2008

Particularly useful for intermediate-level speakers of the Spanish language. This book very concisely presents a wealth of vocabulary and demonstrates the grammar of each palabra introduced. For a very small price, it represents a terrific value.
Learn Spanish Quickly on a Budget July 11, 2008
A great resource for people learning or refreshing their Spanish vocab. Can't afford to buy expensive software? This is the book for you! Words arranged by easy-to-find categories and a small dictionary is included in the book.
What makes this book so great? Cheap. Small. Useful.
