Book Description

Emphasizing the challenges faced by nonnative Spanish speakers, How to Write in Spanish instructs Spanish learners--from advanced beginners to fluent speakers--in the conventions used in writing common Spanish-language documents, including resumes and curricula vitae; official forms and documents; college, job, and housing applications; business correspondence; personal letters; E-mail; and even greeting cards and postcards.

Combining the features of a reference and workbook, it provides a sample of each type of document, vocabulary hints, a checklist for common errors, and dozens of writing exercises, selfevaluations, and correction guidelines.

How to Write in Spanish.......2007-03-12

I found the work to be, in some instances, too advanced for beginning, recreational adult learners. Many of the examples could be modified by a native instructor; but, that is the reason for which I sought examples, since I am a non-native teacher, and consider writing in Spanish one of the most difficult tasks

Straight forward with a couple of examples.......2007-03-11

Maybe I'm used to the colorful images found in school texts and the "Dummies" series, so I didn't like the plain layout of this book. I will probably use it to copy from to practice my writing. I don't like to just read info, I like background info (why its done a certain way). Overall, I find this a usefull book.

How to Write in Spanish: Correspondence Made Easy..........2005-09-01

I think the book delivers on the title How to Write in Spanish: Correspondence Made Easy, From Personal Letters to Business Documents. The book presents many samples of properly constructed/composed personal and business correspondence. Formats for personal and business correspondence include email correspondence and resumes, and there are lists of personal and business stock phrases, something I've found particularly useful as I refer to them often. My only complaint; however, has to do with the stock/standard phrase section. I would like to see the English and Spanish phrases paired where there are similarities. Right now, the phrases from both languages that have equivalent meanings are not lined up. Even with this drawback, the lists are useful.

I don't see the book as being better suited for an intermediate student/user of Spanish. It treats structure and content of correspondence and documents in broad terms. If you need knowledge of specific forms of correspondence and specialized jargon particular to a field, this book isn't the right book for you. If you simply want and/or need to construct basic forms of correspondence, this is a very good reference tool.

Very basic.......2004-08-07

This book has a very basic set up. It does not go into depth with its explanations and it does not have a useful vocabulary. I am a professional interpreter and translator in a law firm, and I wanted my correspondence in Spanish to be as correct as possible. This book is fine for an intermediate student, but is probably not what an advanced student or professional is seeking. I would return it, but it is cheap enough that it is not worth the aggravation of trying to get my money back.

Im happy.......2005-09-19

The book is in excellent condition and im really happy to have my books like that

Has this author heard of examples?.......2000-05-08

This book is for someone who has never written a paper and has the time to complete the book as a workbook. Unfortunately, this did not apply to me. I have written many papers but have always used MLA style. I know how to write a paper and only wanted help with the format. What I really needed to see was examples of how to cite a journal, a book, a newspaper article, ect. and this author only gives a description.

Really helped me with school........1998-11-27

It is because of this book that I know that was a fragment. There was a time that I could not write a paper. I then bought this book on the recommendation of a friend that this book helped. I bought this book and did all of the exercises. I have been getting A's and B+'s ever since.

Great gift!.......2007-01-02

I bought this book as a gift for my mother. English is her second language and, although she can write very well, she sometimes has a hard time finding the right words or expressions to use. This book is very easy to use as it is broken down to different occasions: personal, business, and many more. It's so popular with her and her friends that she asked me to order some more so she can give them as gifts, too.

Good enough for primary school children.......2006-11-11

I quite like this book and I do use it with my Year 5/6 class. The examples provided were useful and easy to understand and it would be better to have more examples. Obviously, this is not suitable for the younger ones.

Paragraph Writing Made Easy.......2002-08-28

This is a wonderful tool for helping my middle school children to learn to take notes in preparation for writing a report. It has wonderful examples throughout, all of which captivate the interest of my children as they are learning good writing and organizational skills. This is a clearly written book, which I would highly recommend to other parents and, of course, to teachers.
