Main tools for speaking Spanish

DIY Spanish breaks the mold by organizing language into specific tasks, giving the student the tools to communicate effectively right from the start. Unlike traditional language books that present lessons from the easiest to the most difficult, DIY Spanish emphasizes what Spanish speakers use most.

Like any good toolbox, DIY Spanish gives the language student the right tool for the task, minimizing the fluff and filler found in most textbooks and phrase books. DIY Spanish is divided into two broad categories: speaking sections (Power Tools, Hand Tools, and Nuts & Bolts), and a comprehensive reference section (The Tool Shed) for even the most advanced student.
