Gifts for Language Learners - Spanish
Is there a special someone in your life who would like to learn Spanish? Or perhaps there is someone in your family who is studying Spanish or who would like to learn Spanish. Maybe a friend, business partner or colleague? Or perhaps you know someone who is planning on traveling to Spain, Mexico, or Latin America and who could use some self-study language materials. Maybe you would like to learn Spanish and are looking for good Spanish language-learning tools.
There are a number of excellent self-study materials for language students. I have featured various Spanish courses, dictionaries, verb and grammar books, some of which I have used myself and continue to have on hand as reference materials. I've also included selections for children. Whether you are looking for a gift for someone who would like to learn Spanish, or have been thinking of studying Spanish yourself for business or travel purposes, these gift ideas will facilitate the language-learning process.

Total Spanish With the Michel Thomas Method
Michel Thomas Series - Spanish
I highly recommend the "Total Spanish With the Michel Thoms Method" program. I went through this course prior to traveling to Spain and was very pleased with how much I was able to learn in a relatively short time.
Total Spanish with the Michel Thomas Method (Michel Thomas Series)
Amazon Price: $70.01 (as of 05/31/2012)![]()
This course focuses on using Spanish right from the start and uses an interactive approach. Vocabulary and grammatical concepts are reinforced throughout the course and no memorization is required. If you only have time to go through one Spanish course, this is it. You will soon be formulating sentences and feel at ease using Spanish.

Spanish Verbs - Practice Book
I highly recommend the Spanish verb workbook, "Spanish Verb Drills", which I have used and continue to use as a reference. A key part of learning any new language is to understand the verb tenses and conjugations.

The key to mastering Spanish verbs is to do exercises that involve conjugating the verbs yourself and learning when to use the correct verb tenses. "Spanish Verb Drills" provides a comprehensive workbook complete with explanations, exercises and an answer key.
