It’s ok
I picked this up to learn Spanish over the summer. I’m pretty good with languages but if my girlfriend didn’t speak Spanish as a native, it’d be a little frustrating to learn from only the book.

It’s a decent book and the presentations and practice sentences are well organized. My criticism is that I am often reading words that are not defined in the book and without a native speaker next to me I wouldn’t know what I was reading. Of course a Spanish/English dictionary would fix this problem, I was use to language texts that provided everything you needed in the book when I learned Japanese.

Spanish Book
It’s the one needed at UCLA (and I’m sure other schools too) for Spanish 1-3. It does a good job of showing examples.

okay book
The internet portion of this book lacks detail of how to follow for self
testing.
