Explanations are good, though the author does not point out differences in pronunciation between European and American Spanish like the author Eric Vogt does. Andy Warhol was an accomplished advertising illustrator and graphic artist before he became well-known as a Pop artist and celebrity. With most others, I have found that there is far too much unnecessary grammar introduced far too early to engage the learner and provide opportunities to succeed in reproducing and reusing the language learnt. It then moves on to teach you grammar in a very novel way, none of the boring conjungations that had to be learnt by rote when doing languages at school.

One reviewer has said that the book is too long but I would temper that view with the knowledge that the increase in volume is actually due to these many examples of usage and word/phrase combination drills. Even the most reluctant learner will be astonished at the ease and effeciveness of Margarita Madrigal's unique method of teaching a foreign language. If you have something to share or a question about the Spanish language, post and we'll help the best we can! Si vous voulez non seulement apprendre, mais aussi comprendre l'espagnol, ce livre est fait pour vous !As with all language learning resources, the effort exerted by the learner is the actual key to learning a foreign language to whatever level the learner feels that they want to achieve, but Madrigals Magic Keys To Spanish is an excellent starting point and gives a great deal of potential for quickly usable language from which the learner can then spring and delve into other resources and learning opportunities. Completely eliminating rote memorization and painfully boring drills, Madrigal's Magic Key to Spanish is guaranteed to help you-. Have you thought that learning a new language involved so much work that it couldn't fit into your schedule?

When you study this method you will find that you will not only have the ability to recognize words, but that it will actually be within your power to convert English words into Spanish words. Everything that is introduced is followed by more than ample opportunity to practice: there are sentences to read and word/phrase combination drills to perform. Furthermore, the process of creation is exciting, whereas mechanical memorizing is tremendously boring. It starts with a very positive introduction and goes on to explain that an English speaker already knows hundreds if not thousands of words in Spanish and it gives you the rules that unlock this 'magic key' to Spanish. Some reviewers have pointed to the South American bias of this book as being a problem for anyone wishing to speak Spanish in mainland Spain but I have found no such issues in the dozen or so times that I have visited Spain.

Learn the basics of the Spanish language with this easy-to-use guide by one of America's most prominent language teachers. If you are starting out speaking Spanish this is a wonderful start it may be difficult if you’re entirely new to Spanish and don’t know the basic words like Hola, tardes or esta, mañana, etcBut it’s still a great book to have to read whilst learning Spanish in other ways…Don’t hesitate with this one! Some went more slowly than others, but in the end every student learned more Spanish for every hour that he spent with the book than he had thought possible in his fondest dreams. I’m the kind of learner that needs to know the why behind the action/words and this book is amazing when it comes to that. The method has proved successful with more than a quarter of a million people in the span of a few years.
