Very Good!
It is really a very nice grammar. It is helping me a lot on my job and at school. It is compact, but has everything, including good excercises. And you can check the answers in the end.

Slower speed tracks a great idea
As the original reviewer has noted, of the four skills of hearing, speaking, reading and writing, the first, i.e. understanding the spoken language is the hardest for most students. Most intermediate/advanced courses present their material at normal native speaking speed - they usually justify this by saying "but that's how they speak, get used to it!" But I say you have to walk before you can run. What is the use of listening to stuff spoken so fast that you consistently fail to understand whole phrases? It is frustrating and discouraging. Here's where Immersionplus Spanish comes in with its repeated fast and slow tracks. You can listen a few times to each fast track and get as much as you can, then play the slow track. I found that this solved virtually all difficulties. With other advanced courses I could only resolve the difficult bits by referring to the transcript. How much better for them to be resolved simply by hearing them spoken more slowly. A simple and obvious idea, but this is where this course wins out over so many others. The dialogues are excellent too, lively, colloquial, everyday language. Great value.

This is It
This is what you've been looking for.An advanced Spanish CD that REALLY IS ADVANCED!This is one step below watching Univision.
Great value for Advanced Spanish CD
I purchased 3 Advanced Spanish CDs to get ready for a trip to Mexico.This was the cheapest and most effective of the 3 programs I purchased.I am conversational in spanish, but not an expert speaker.I need refreshers to help keep my "ear" in sync with native speakers.This course was excellent for that purpose.The course includes a booklet with a full translation of the dialogue on the 3 CDs.The booklet was very helpful.I could read it at home and at my office and see the translation of words that didn't quite make sense.I learned several variations of words I've used in Spanish.I listened to the CDs multiple times and am pleased that it knocked much of the rust off my spanish listening and speaking skills. ...

Best single guide to Chicago
NFT - Chicago is the one book to carry around in your backpack as you cruise the city - but pay attention to the title. It really is not for tourists.
great book for new people to chicago
uptown, oldtown, gold coast, north side.....sometimes it seems like Chicagoland has another name for every area.This book is great.Just what I needed to explore the areas of Chicago.It's organised by areas and lists all of the different things from restaurants totheatres to laundry mats in the area.The maps are very clear and easy to read.Excellent book for people who've just moved to Chicago (and aren't after the touristy things).I think it's equally useful for people who live in the 'burbs and downtown dwellers.Highly recommended.

scale bar, PLEASE
I am a former Chicago resident, planning to move back with my boyfriend who has never lived there.We bought this book so I could show him in more detail neighborhoods, etc.The detailed neighborhood info and many maps are great - BUT they need a scale bar.We like to walk or bike everywhere, and there's no sense of distance on these maps. ...

conversacion y confusion
As a student who has used several different Spanish text books throughout the years, I found this book to be lacking, especially in regards to its structure.It splits concepts into different chapters unecessarily, which leads to frustration when it's time to write creatively.I found myself constantly looking ahead in the book to express ideas which used the grammar we were currently working on.The format for the subjunctive tenses were especially ill-conceived.I did, however, appreciate the insightful cultural vignettes. All in all, I would recommend the Valet books or Dos Mundos over Fuentes. I hope this was helpful. ... Read more

Highly Visual Dictionary
The Spanish English Visual Bilingual Dictionary is filled with colorful images of all the items listed with English and Spanish words. I find it is much easier to remember the words when presented with pictures. At times so many of the Spanish words are similar to the English (telefono/telephone or la nectarine/nectarine) so it makes it even easier to remember along with the pictures.
Excellent dictionary but a note of advice!!!!
This book, as the other reviewer mentioned, is a great source for anyone who wants to learn the language or wants to learn new vocabulary.Like i mention in my review for the French Dictionary, it covers topics rarely covered by other dictionaries like people, appearance, health, services, home, shopping, food, studies, transportation, sports, leisure, environment, etc.
An excelent visual reference
I have been studying Spanish for over 5 years and I found this book to be a thoroughly engaging and practical way of reviewing vocabulary. I wish I would have had this book while I was living abroad in Uruguay. The size is nicely compact while the contents are extensive enough to satisfy a broad thematic lexicon. I especially appreciated the photography and the lay out of the book which is vibrant and appealing. ... Read more

Can't get lost with this!
I've used Delorme atlases without any problem on my excursions through other states, so I bought the South Dakota atlas last summer before my trip last September. As usual, everything in the atlas is clear and easy to read. My trip took me all across the state of South Dakota, including travel on many back roads. Not once did I wonder where I was or feel I was lost. These atlases are remarkable for their accuracy, and they have another winner with this one. Whether you've visiting the Black Hills, heading to Pierre, or want to get to Watertown, you can use any road confidently with this atlas. Highly recommended if you want to see any part of the state off I-90 or I-29! ... Read more

Oxford Spanish Dictionary
This is the most complete Spanish/English I have ever found.It can be used for Business, School or Personal purposes.It has all idioms and phrases that you could ever need.

The most complete English/Spanish Dictionary out there!
Excellent resource! I highly recommend this dictionary as it appears to have EVERYTHING in it! Even "kitchen" and "sink"... jokes aside, I find this book to be the perfect answer to all my spanish/english definition problems... What makes this dictionary unique is not only its exhaustive collection of words, but also the correspondence writings in its middle. It tells you precisely how to write a correspondence in Spanish (and English) including dates, openings, closings, how to address the envelope and more... It even has examples and instructions (with pictures) of how to create a professional job application, how to write a letter of complaint, how to write a check, how to request a catalog... This dictionary has everything! A must have for language students!! Too bulky to put in your backpack, but not too big for a bookshelf!

Other Reference Works
This is a terrific dictionary used in conjunction with the Oxford Duden Pictorial Spanish and English Dictionary for hard to locate technical words.The Cassell's Spanish Dictionary can lead to a lot of imprecise translations in your readings, but it's useful in composition as a thesaurus. ...

Great
I found one error the first time I opened the book (an incorrect page number in the index), but that's the only one I found on a 2,000 mile road trip. Served us well, was fun to use. It's certainly oversized, but we'll keep it in our car and reference it freqently. Recommended.

Well done but not as good as in the past
This is better than the lower cost Rand McNally Atlas.
Spiral-bindings make all the difference!
This is a road atlas designed for use while actually in a car. The spiral-binding is a must for ease-of-use. And, Rand McNally isn't one of the biggest names in map-making for nothing. An excellent product. ... Read more

The best algebra book ever!
I used this wonderful book during my high school studies and I learned from it all the algebra I know. It is very well written, with good examples and very interesting exercises. I didn't have any problems with my college studies (I studied Electrical-Mechanical Engineering) because this book gave me the background I needed to rock in college. ... Read more

Kansas Atlas
They have done a good job on this Gazatter. I has been a few years since it was updated but can get you where you are going. They give Latitude and Longitude in Decimal and Degree,hour & minutes, which is a plus.

Let's you get off the beaten path
Once again, Delorme atlases won't lead you astray. Living in Kansas City, I often take excursions into Kansas when I want to get out of the city. With this atlas I can head onto almost any back road and not get lost. These maps are great for finding places that the basic road maps can't show. Whether you're birding, hunting, or camping, you'll find this atlas useful. You can get to Lyon County Fishing Lake, Quivera NWR, Morton County or any place in Kansas easily. Highly recommended!

Kansas Atlas and Gazeteer
I was born and grew up in Kansas, yet there is much of the state I've never seen.I recently began driving the back roads of Kansas to get from my house to my daughter's on the western side of the state.I am learningto appreciate the undervalued beauty of Kansas.This atlas, showing allthe roads in Kansas, including county roads and minimum maitenance roads isan excellent resource for finding my way around the state.It's fun tolook in the atlas and find the little dirt road that runs by the cemeteryor to see the gravel road that edges the pasture owned by a friend.Ididn't realize map reading could be this fun! ...

Great addition to any student's learning activities!
Students LOVE making their own books. I have used this activity in many of my Spanish classes - ages 4 all the way to 17 years (teenagers still like to color and make things of their own - I just have them add some original sentences of their own and expand on the story.)
Outstanding
I thoroughly enjoy having this book because it is very educational for anyone of any age wanting to learn another langage.I will use this to reinforce my knowledge of Spanish, but also to enhance my students learningprocess of the Spanish language. ... Read more
