It just states the obvious and is a pretty dull book. If you have having problems learning the language then speak to your tutor. I bought it because it was a set book for my language course but it'll be in my paper recycling bin soon. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Not Impressed   October 3, 2008  4 out of 4 found this review helpful I guess that this book survives by being a set book with the OU. In reality its content is very thin and besides, if you wanted to learn a foreign language why would you want to waste time wading through 238 pages written in English when you could spend it learning a foreign language? Nothing particularly interesting   September 26, 2008  6 out of 6 found this review helpful I picked this up because I've been studying Spanish for quite a while, and wanted to revise my techniques as I wasn't making much progress. I ended up fairly disappointed with this book. It's a description of fairly obviously study techniques, padded out with various other dull-ish text to make it into a decent size book. I had been hoping for a list of interesting drills, or some novel techniques for giving me a bit of a leap forward in my learning, but as a Spanish student for the last 3/4 years, I got very little out of this. The only person I could see it appealing to is someone who hasn't really done any study at an advanced level, (perhaps an early school leaver, trying to study later in life), and who needs to try and structure their learning. However, if you're a couple of years into your studies, I would steer clear. Sponsored Links   Powered by Associate-O-Matic
