Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses, Premium Fourth Edition (NTC FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

great book for spanish grammer practicing! used for alevels and was recommended

After finishing this book, I bought all her books. This book made my learning easier and fun. Logical, clear and no wasted words, the author knows not only Spanish but understands the beginners psychology. The exercises are just right with the pace. It makes you feel encouraged to do all of them and gradually feel clear. Her method should be used by the language teachers. I mistakenly thought that all the “practice makers perfect “ followed the same method and bought a few of other authors books. One of them I only read a few pages, and gave up. It wasted my time and money. Dorthy Richmond’s book are ten times more valuable. There are a few more other authors that I have not looked yet. Hope they are not bad. I learned so much from this book. Many thanks to Dorthy Richmond.

This book contains just enough explanation and reminders for those who already have a grasp of spanish and just need reminding of the rules. It's very useful to create sentences that are gramatically correct and a big help to those of us who could only remember how to speak in present tense only. I wouldn't necessarily recommend for beginners unless you are using it with a tutor that can explain everything in more detail.

this book is the best for serious students ours is worn out would recommend would buy again

This is an advanced beginner / intermediate book. If you can hold fluent conservations in Spanish without having to pause to think too much, you're at the right level. This would be too hard for those new to the language as it assumes a certain decent level of vocabulary. I've worked through the first 40 pages out of 300. Each section consists of explanatory material followed by "verdadero o falso (para ti)" - a series of questions you have to answer about yourself and your circumstances. Then, more involved exercises. Writing a simple but full sentence answers to several questions. The final exercise is a translation challenge with a particular focus on the material covered. Overall, challenging enough for advanced beginners / intermediate without being overwhelming. Feels satisfying to work through it. I will take a look at the other books in this series as it is of good quality.

I have been learning Spanish on and off for over a year – I've done a short college course for beginners, a home course and spent well over 6 months on Duolingo and I still only know the very basics and still make so many silly mistakes. I think this book of exercises are perfect for someone like me who has 12 months under their belt. Hopefully it'll iron out all those mistakes I make!. It's just what I need and a welcome alternative to looking at a screen shots on Duo all day, which can become very monotonous. This is definitely not an absolute beginners book in my opinion. I think it would be way too much too soon. There are over a dozen tenses in this book to learn. But then, I'm an old duffer and the mind is not as quick as it used to be! I think this is another very useful string to your bow in learning Spanish along with any other preferences you may have. Even after a year I still can't pick up what Spanish people say at their normal pace, for me it's like getting hit by machine gun fire! But if I can speak it, read it and write it at an intermediary level then I'll be happy, though I'm still a long way from that. Hopefully this book will help to get me there.

Excellent book . Finished that book sometime ago with the classes I give

Great book that has helped me improve my Spanish verbs so much- especially the present tenses and different verb forms, such as reflexive verbs. I like the translation exercises a lot as they help you build more basic vocab. However, I just wish that there were more exercises for the different past tenses as they can be a bit tricky.

Great Work Book, easy to follow and understand, one of my favourite Spanish workbooks. Dorothy and her team make it easy to understand the rules in Spanish

The book's structure is a perfect fit for me! It would be lovely if they could summarised everything after each chapter tho.

Kitap ertesi gün öğlen elime ulaştı. Hem çalışma hem uygulama birlikte olması, kitabın görsel açıdan karmaşa içinde olmamasını çok sevdim ve faydalı olacağını düşünüyorum. Tek dezavantajı sayfa yapısı. Not almak için yumuşak uçlu kalem kullanılmalı.

He estado usando esto en mi clase de español y es un programa fácil de aprender.

Soy Inglesa y hablo español bastante bien, pero como lo aprendí cuando era adolescente hablando con mis amigos, me falta entender todos los tiempos de verbos y preposiciones correctos. Asisto un curso en español cada semana, pero quería un libro un poco más sencillo con verbos y ejercicios de traducción y vocabulario a seguir en casa . Me parece este libro me ayudé mucho, es muy integral y lo puedo estudiar cuando tengo tiempo.
