Indispensable learning aid includes definitions of common Spanish words arranged by such categories as foods, numbers, days of the week, months, colors, seasons and family. At the book's heart is a dictionary, from a to zapato, where each word is used in a Spanish sentence (with English translation) demonstrating its proper use.

1001 Most usefull Spanish words
A limited vocabulary is a real challenge for beginning speakers and this is helpful for a beginner's encouragement.
It's been a big help to me
This little book has been helpful in my spanish class with looking up words that are not in my text book and I thought it was a great price as well.
Excellent book
I found it helpful in learning some spanish. It is light enough to carry with me so that I can carry it with me where ever I go.
Thanks Amazon.
Great Resource for the Money but .....
Just as good as Easy Spanish Phrase Book by Dover, 1001 Most Useful Spanish Words is an inexpensive gem of information on the Spanish language. It's actually better than a dictionary because it only gives you one useful word at a time (that way you don't have to choose like with a regular dictionary) and you get to see the word used in a sentence in context.
Still, you can't beat learning to create your own words and sentences, not just those that someone made for you in advance.
For that reason, I am sold on Behind the Wheel Spanish 8 CDs and Book.
Behind the Wheel - Spanish 1 (Behind the Wheel)
I recommend you buy both of these to use together.
I have and I've gotten great results.
