Mastering Spanish Vocabulary With Audio MP3: A Thematic Approach (Barron's Foreign Language Guides) Available To Downloads
This brand-new title in Barron's foreign language vocabulary building series replaces a previous Spanish vocabulary-building volume that had the same focus and general purpose. However, this new larger book presents approximately10,000 entries--more than twice the number of words with definitions as the title it replaces. It also includes an enclosed audio MP3, which coaches language students in correct pronunciation of Spanish and contains approximately 10 hours of audio, which covers virtually all of the book. All vocabulary in this book is categorized under different themes. Each theme groups together many different words relating to similar topics, which helps students of Spanish and travelers to Spanish-speaking countries conveniently find words that are related by subject. Among each book's 24 separate subject themes are: business terms, medical terms, household terms, scientific words and phrases, units of measurement, clothing, food and dining, transportation, art and culture, and others.

I purchased this as an aid for a Spanish conversation class I'm taking and am very pleased with its general layout, grouping terms by category. I was also pleased to see it has an index, so that if you are not sure what name they would give the topic you want, but know one term that belongs in it, you can look up the term and find the page(s) with more on-topic vocabulary.The vocabulary CD that came with the book nicely provides native pronunciation of the vocabulary, grouped by topic as in the book. (I haven't checked to see how complete it is, but it seems to track the book with both terms and examples.) Note that the CD does not provide English translation, however, and so cannot be used for self-testing of active recollection of terminology, but it will adequately reinforce the passive recognition of it. (A big plus is that it does not have the ubiquitous beep, which is so annoying in the CD accompanying Barron's 501 Spanish Verbs!)That being said, I sincerely hope the publishers will reconsider their choice of RED INK for the Spanish text. Generally I want any unfamiliar terms--in this case, the Spanish--to jump out to my eye. Knowing English, it is easier for me to recognize fuzzy English printing than it is to interpret faded print in Spanish.What Barron's has done, however, is to use clear black type for the English side of the vocabulary lists and a brownish red for the Spanish. Even in boldface, the red ink is very hard to read at a glance, but reading at a glance is what you want for finding suitable vocabulary quickly. In fact looking at it here at my desk beside the computer, more light seems to reflect off the side of the page with red ink than off the side with black, even though it is obviously the same paper.
