Reading and learning have always been a big part of my life.  I recently met Meg Graham the author of Ahora Hablo! Travel Edition, Seven Simple Steps to Authentic Spanish. Her book is designed for the native English speaker who would like to gain Spanish communication skills quickly and easily.  This compact book offers readers a way to combine basic verbs and vocabulary to communicate in everyday situations.  All words have a phonetic key, based on English pronunciation.  I particularly like the phonetic key.  After living in Cabo I discovered there are a number of words that look the same but are pronounced a bit differently with very different meanings.  This book with its user-friendly approach is perfect for travelers who want to learn conversational Spanish.  In addition to the Traveler Edition there is an Educator Edition and a Medical Edition

If you would like to review or purchase this book I have provided a link below.
