Smart Spanish is well written and organized. The chapter on Grammar Hints was a good review and reviewable reference source for learning (or serving as a reminder) to the differences between ser and estar, por, para, sino, etc. Another useful source was the books inclusion of false cognates – false cognates can easily trip up the best students of Spanish. The chapter on Mexican cultural ideas, concepts and phrases was accurate and fun to read. The understanding of slang phrases assists you to become more immersed in the local culture, to communicate better and understand more accurately of what is being said.
Smart Spanish is a well-written guide to help those who want to progress into the next level of fluency.
