A fun, comprehensive way to get up to speed on Spanish

With over 325 million speakers, Spanish is in a virtual dead heat with English as the second most popular spoken language. This easy-to-follow guide shows readers how to successfully conjugate verbs, providing easy, entertaining exercises and answer keys to reinforce different grammatical rules. More than just a dictionary-style list of verbs, Spanish Verbs For Dummies covers regular verbs in the present tense and six other simple tenses, interrogatives and imperatives, irregular verbs in all seven tenses, and Spanish verb nuances.

Mary Kraynak, MA (Indianapolis, IN), teaches Spanish to junior high and high school students and has served as a technical consultant to several Spanish learning guides.

About the Author

While some people get revved up at car races and others ride the wild waves of the stock market, Mary Kraynak (Indianapolis, IN) enjoys traveling to Spanish-speaking countries, chatting it up with complete strangers, and haggling with the local merchants. Mary earned her Bachelor's degree in Spanish and secondary education at Purdue University, and continued on at Purdue to get her Master's degree in Spanish literature. Twenty-five years later, she continues to teach Spanish to junior high and high school students, and has served as a technical consultant on several Spanish learning guides, including Teach Yourself Spanish in 24 Hours and Spanish for Healthcare Professionals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lessons have translations for everything
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2008

I particularly like this book because every excercise provides both the correct spanish answer and the english translation. Many books don't do that - and you are left to make assumptions as to the exact meaning of certain phrases or context.

The book is easy to work on, you can move quickly from lesson to lesson, and the tips are quite helpful. But above all, those translations are what sets this book apart from many others.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for Dummies or those who need to learn about verbs
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2011
Verified Purchase
This book will not teach you about verbs and conjugations. It assumes that you already know and understand how grammar works and just jumps into review. The writer does not know how to explain the subject and just assumes that someone else has done the hard work of teaching you the subject matter. I knew that I had wasted my money when reading the Introduction the author states that she assumes that you already have a background in Spanish, and have learned all of the verb tenses, then she goes on to recommend Spanish for Dummies if you are a rank beginner. Spanish for Dummies is also a worthless teaching guide, save your money and avoid the whole Spanish for Dummies series. The editors need to find authors who know how to do the hard work of explaining how a language works.

5.0 out of 5 stars 問題集として…。
Reviewed in Japan on September 7, 2006
Verified Purchase
動詞の活用変化から始まっています。

簡単な英文説明の後に、練習問題。…その繰り返し。

ただ、

練習問題の後にAnswerページがあるので、

本の後半に解答がついているタイプよりは、使い勝手が良いです。

海外版にありがちな、Ａ４よりも大きめで厚みのある本ですが、

いわゆるペーパーバック（質の悪い、薄くて茶系の紙）なので、

非常に軽くて持ち歩き（？）に際して苦にはなりません。

日本語の参考書を使いながら、

問題集として使うのが最適だと思いました。
