The L140 course materials from the Open University arrived today. I haven’t done much with it yet apart from open the box. Inside there are three books, a couple of DVD things, a calendar, a study guide and a letter of encouragement. Don’t know why but I feel like a nervous teenager . [...]

At last the results are here. I am very happy to have passed with a distinction! So far so good. My next Open University course is due to start in February, this is L140 En Rumbo and I am already concerned that it doesn’t have any tutorials with it. The course team suggest [...] 14 November 2009
Here are the books for learning spanish that I use all the time: Pocket Oxford Spanish Dictionary Collins Gem Spanish Dictionary Collins Easy Learning Spanish Dictionary 501 Spanish Verbs Spanish Verbs for Dummies Collins Easy Learning Spanish Grammar Hugo Spanish in Three [...] 19 August 2009
Hugo Spanish in 3 Months I have a soft spot for Hugo Spanish, at least for the book. I don’t find the recordings very helpful my advice is to save money and just buy the book, you can pick it up and even in a few minutes learn a grammar [...] 17 August 2009
Collins Gem Spanish Dictionary At the last count I had three small dictionaries spread about the house. Collins Gem is my favourite, it really is pocket size. When we stay in Spanish hotels this is the book I plonk on the table at breakfast, to keep our place while checking out [...] 17 August 2009
Spanish Verbs for Dummies Another amazing discovery. Again I was so impressed I bought the French version as well. Every verb tense is covered and there are loads of self test questions, with answers. My advice is to write your answers to the questions on scrap paper and not in the [...] 17 August 2009
Pocket Oxford Spanish Dictionary – 2009 Edition Forget about “pocket” size, it might fit in your pocket if you are a kangaroo but this is not a book that would fit in most pockets. I have the 3rd edition (2005) and I like it. It sits on my bookshelf and [...] 17 August 2009
501 Spanish Verbs I think this is one of my favourite books. Teachers hate it, they don’t want you to have a book like this which lets you take short cuts. They don’t want you to know at the beginning that Spanish has 14 verb conjugations and is really [...] 17 August 2009
Collins Easy Learning Spanish Grammar Another Open University recommended book. If Stelios ever finds out that Collins are using the word “easy” along with the colour orange, there could be trouble!! This is a nice little book but not very browseable. For some reason I prefer Hugo Spanish in three [...] 17 August 2009
Collins Easy Learning Spanish Dictionary – 2009 New Edition This was recommended as a course book by the Open University so naturally I had to have a copy. It has a nice coloured section in the middle that feels very “OU”, you can almost feel your tutor wanting to pat [...] |
