Synopsis

Barron's is today and always has been the Number-One reference source for verb usage in virtually every major language. With more than 1.5 million copies in print, the all-time best selling 501 Spanish Verbs beats all less well-established rivals with its brand-new 6th edition. It's printed in two colors, it features tinted page edges for ease of reference, and it comes with extra help for Spanish language students in the form of a CD-ROM. The book presents the most important and most commonly used Spanish verbs arranged alphabetically with English translations in chart form, one verb per page, and conjugated in all persons and tenses, both active and passive. The accompanying CD-ROM gives students practice exercises in verb conjugation plus a concise grammar review. This combined book and software package is a comprehensive guide to Spanish verb usage with a wealth of reference material and language tips, including a bilingual list of more than 1,250 additional Spanish verbs, helpful expressions and idioms for travelers, and verb drills and short tests with all questions answered and explained.

June 01, 2009: I have been using this series since I discovered it about 1989. This is the best edition yet. The basic and very good premises of the early version remain while the book is updated with a CD, color sections and more tools. The key to learning this material is to spend 20-20 minutes every day with the introduction section until you fully understand the underlying grammar. After that, the subsequent verbs listings makes considerable sense. Spanish verbs are conjugated so differently from English verbs that it is difficult to learn all of the verb forms from a standard dictionary. This book, coupled with a competent Spansh/English dictionary can help anyone improve their Spanish skills. Actually, most of us don't learn the grammar of our own language until the study of a second or third language forces us to learn it. This is an excellent book and I recommend it often. I have used it in teaching Spanish and in doing so, I saved my students the difficulties that I faced learning verbs. The section on the Spanish verb Haber (to have as a helping verb) should be learned by memory and then by understanding. Ser, Estar, and Haber are the verbs no speaker of Spanish can live without.
