To learn Spanish you must live 24/7 where Spanish is the primary language spoken until you get it. One place college Spanish speaking dorms another is spare bedroom of Spanish speaking family.

I dont use mine much anymore. I would agree with Robert below. You can also use the google app "TRANSLATE" you can save phrases and pronounciation is good for USA Spanish. But best way is find someone that is fluent inspanish and converse with them regularly. For grammer try to find an old spanish language school book called "El Camino Real"

I use the Franklin BES1940 as an electronic dictionary and as a pronunciation guide. I have found the pronunciations are accurate for the type of Spanish spoken in the SW United States. For the money, this device is well worth it. The battery life is very good also.

Paperbacks will definitely fit, but I wouldn't put much weight on it. DVDs are okay, but it is fairly flimsy.

I have been using it for a laptop computer but put a medium sized dictionary on it. If you put something fairly big and heavy I would say you need it postioned perfectly first. If left in place it should hold a fair amount but if the heavt book is on it and you move it, that may cause it to come apart.

Mine is nice and sturdy. I use it for research and I have several heavy books on it.

Not much. I have a couple of textbooks and then mostly papers and photo frame. It's sturdy enough for light things only.

I have had laptop and textbooks on it at the same time. I would imagine that a couple plates and glasses would work quite well.

Heavier paperback like the expensive college text book do not sit well in the stand & could risk pages getting torn. I use a clipboard to organize the order of my notes; then use the stand to keep the clipboard upright. Using the clipboard as a backing I can slip in front additional notes for upright viewing. The stand could hold - preferably hard backs as there is no rear support to keep a larger paperback properly open - no thicker than an inch & a quarter; again there is a certain amount of risk of torn pages. With imagination it can be used for a variety of tasks.

Yes. A large textbook may hang over if you need to have it opened. But as a place to put down a book you are reading or a drink, it's fine.

The shelves are not designed for book. They do not have the depth. CD's just fit. They are strong enough for what they were designed for.

This would handle a few books well. It'd be a bit trying with let's say a Intro to Biology/ Chemistry book. THat'd just be one heavy load out for one arm. It would hold them, but you would just murder your shoulder. I usually kept a folder, notebook and 1 textbook (Medium size).

maybe fit well. but meanwhile you might put into 5 normal books or 2 thick books at most. i dont think its big enough. pretty casual style. if you are not to put a lot of stuff including your laptop, just go for it.

Absolutely yes. You will need something much sturdier to support your textbooks.

Hmmm, laptop and binder yes...large text book probably, but if you are also including work out items, definitely not. But just the school stuff, I think so!

It depends on the size of the books. Most are pushed toward the back and I stacked large on bottom and small on top.

You should have enough shelves if only using it for CDs, because I only use mine for DVDs and I had 2 extra shelves left.

Yes, I know it can. I had the same question as you did when I first purchased them, and I was nervous that the shelves would not hold. They do. While typing I am looking at them right now and the shelves are strong. A suggestion that I have is, put the heavier books on the bottom shelf, and the shelf that is the 2nd one up, because these shelves are secured to the sides. In addition to being a college student, I am also a school teachers. I put my teachers edition textbooks on these shelves, and They are holding up fine. Actually most of my books are hardback that are on the shelves. I am very pleased with how these shelves look and how they hold their weight.

I love mine! The perfect fit for CDs. I was never able to figure out how to change it for DVDs. My neighbor put it together for me. I personally don't think it'd be good for books. Hope this helps.
