Beginning Spanish for the Utterly Confused provides an ideal, easily accessible instructional guide to the beginner wanting a user-friendly introduction to the study of Spanish. It is an introduction to both spoken and written Spanish for college and high school students, and for adults seeking a easy to use guide for self-study or to help them in courses they are already taking. The book begins with a guide to pronunciation, spelling, and punctuation, with special hints for English speakers. This can be practiced with the most important greetings, goodbyes, and expressions of courtesy that appear in the next section. Cognates are introduced to give students an immediate vocabulary and show them how to build on it. Each subsequent lesson is built organically on the one before, and introduces a useful communicative function presented through a series of questions or opening statements with probable and possible answers that serve as a model of a particular grammatical pattern.
