Not Quite as Helpful as I had Hoped

I have been studying Spanish and thought this might be a fun way to learn vocabulary. I think it definitely helps with that, but I far prefer the interactive apps I can get on my Kindle Fire for that purpose. Those offer lots of repetitions, which helps me with retention. After doing the first few puzzles in this book, I stopped and haven't touched the book for months now. Maybe I'd have enjoyed them more if I were a crossword puzzle fan, which I am not.

Crosswords are a little ahead of me, but a good learning tool. I am learning, like it or not, using the answers in the back to learn more. .
