Lonely Planet Fast Talk Spanish

The only good things about this book were the fast delivery and that it fits in your pocket. It contains so little content that it wasn't worth buying. My fault - I saw 'Lonely Planet' and didn't research it any further, their stuff is usually really useful, this wasn't. It was cheap, and that says it all.

This is properly a pocket book - the size of a wallet and about 40 pages or so. The phrases within are arguably of minimal use too. You'd get similar (possibly better) functionality from the back of the Spain guidebook, or otherwise spend a little more on a full phrasebook. This won't get you anywhere.

Thinner than I would have thought. About 30 phrases in all the usual categories and a very basic dictionary of words. Probably perfect for most people going on a quick trip and looking for an aide memoire if they have studied Spanish a little previously.

I bought it for a friend. She was very pleased with it - thought it was very useful.

not a lot but I think its me!
