Margarita Madrigal (1912–1983)

This book was written by the same woman who wrote “Magic Key to Spanish”. I read this one first and knew Magic Key had to be really good. This book (See it & Say it) focuses on vocabulary and simple sentences, which is nice because at the start, you don’t want to be presented with anything too complex, or too much stuff. I’d say if you want to travel to a Spanish-speaking country or something, get this book. If you are really serious about learning a lot of the Spanish language, show more Magic Key is where you should start (or read both books) Margarita Madrigal is great at presenting information! If you want some excellent review for grammar specifically, check out Dorothy Richmond’s books: her Spanish Verb Tenses book and Pronouns and Prepositions book are awesome. show less

very helpful! a great beginning book for someone serious about learning Spanish. It will give you a good solid foundation for vocabulary and grammar.

A very helpful book that made me realize I already knew a lot more Spanish than I thought! I'll admit that I haven't been able to finish reading it (yet), but I got a lot out of it.
