It is believed that self-help books could give you the key to learn a
language but the true is that they won’t be helpful unless you have an
American mind.

For Spanish people these books are not motivating enough because they
have to read then alone, we need something tangible, we need facts.
For us is not enough if somebody tells you “ you can do it”, we really
need some guide lines to follow.

At the same time we can say there are some people who follows this
kind of books because they don’t have any idea about the subject. For
example books like “How to cook “ , these books are helpful to get the
first idea in order to know if they want to go further in learning
this subject or not.

To sum up we could say that it is good to read all kind of books in
order to learn new vocabulary but it won’t give you the “secret” to
learn it.
