5 stars (Easy Spanish Phrase Book Better With Language Dynamics CDs) - I highly recommend Easy Spanish Phrase Book: Over 770 Basic Phrases for Everyday Use This book is so useful because it uses high frequency vocabulary and 770 phrases that anyone could successfully use anywhere in the Spanish speaking world.. Being a long-time user of Language Dynamics products including Speed Spanish and Behind the Wheel Spanish I have to agree with Amazon's recommendation that they're better with Easy Spanish Phrase Book. The categories are quite similar and this small book enhances the lessons learned on the spoken CD courses. At times, I even thought they were part of the same course. Since 'Over 770 Basic Phrases for Everyday Use' doesn't come with CDs, I recommend you use either Speed Spanish or Behind the Wheel Spanish so you can learn to pronounce the words correctly from a great native Spanish speaker. The two form the ideal combo for learning Spanish. 5 stars (Good Choice) - This book is an excellent way to learn important phrases that aren't easily transferable from English to Spanish. 5 stars (wow!) - Wow, This book is such a great value! I mean, If this book was priced at $12.99, it STILL would be a great value, but for $1.50, It's shocking. This book tell you how to speak basic spanish. The index is usefull incase you need to look up a certain word, for example '' window'', Just go to the index and they will give you a sentecnce and the word window in spanish. Great book and I recomend it to anyone who isn't very fluent in spanish and needs some help. This would be good for students who take spanish in school, it would be great with homework. I would suggest you buy this book before the price increases. ...

3 stars (Perfect Phrases for Performance Reviews .... Not!) - The background to giving appraisals is very good, as is the advice on how to conduct an interview. For this alone the book is worth purchasing. Included within this book are many pages of "perfect phrases". To state they are perfect is, I feel, a little misleading. Although I must mention that at the start of the book it is stated that these sentences should be altered to suit the individual. My gripe is that the sentences have not been rated very well. For example, on page 41 under Accuracy, Outstanding options provides you with "Mistakes don't slip through" as one of the choices. Should that not read, "Exceptionally accurate at all times". Many of the sentences are very weak and fail to use any "power words" to strengthen an employee's qualities. My feelings are that the book has been thrown together from previous appraisals with little though to the content of the phrases. The "sentences" require regrading and stronger words added to give them more bite. Also other attributes need to be added to give the book a wider audience such as: Loyalty, Sense of Duty, Competence, Confidence but to name a few. 5 stars (Phrases and a lot more) - Doing performance reviews--preparing for them, filling out the form, and understanding how to make them effectively improve an employee's performance--can be a challenging task. How do you make it a positive experience, for yourself and for the employee? It's not easy. How do you let the person know he or she is not living up to the organization's expectations? Again, not easy. This book can help in doing these things. The majority of book is given over to phrases you can use in over 70 different categories of performance. Each category has five levels of phrases, from outstanding to unacceptable. Even if some phrases don't fit exactly what you're looking for, you have a place to start and you can easily modify them to fit your purposes. I also like the first part of the b...
