Product Description: When Puntos de partida first published in 1981 it introduced a new era in language materials and language instruction in this country through its hallmark focus on communicative language proficiency and the development of the four skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening). Puntos has established itself as one of the market leaders among introductory Spanish textbooks. In this 20th Anniversary Edition, Puntos will continue to offer the most teacher- and student-friendly textbook on the market as well as a host of exciting new features, most notably a state-of-the-art Instructor's Edition.
Good Start with Spanish Puntos de Partida is a good choice for you to start learning Spanish. However, it requires you to buy more : lab and workbook for practice, besides that, you have to get a CAN-8 software to do the lab work. McGraw Hill truly knows how to earn money from student!!!
Anyway, take a look at this book carefully every chapter. practice it everyday. I think it's the best Spanish book for beginners!
