Authentic Spanish Textbook with Engaging Activities This workbook is a fantastic tool for any intermediate student wanting to expound upon their Spanish comprehension and vocabulary; this book is very well organized which makes it easy to understand and learn. This edition emphasizes the acquisition of reading skills and text comprehension through varied cultural and literary readings. The pre- and post-reading activities helped to build my reading skills and understanding of the Spanish language faster than other books I have used in the past. I think that the numerous authentic readings throughout the text were perfect in length and the stories were truly engaging. I definitely recommend this book for all intermediate students who want to learn the Spanish language fast and effectively.
Used for 2 semesters of Spanish in College This book is disorganized and poorly written. Often leaving the easiest lessons for the last chapters. Every teacher I spoke to disliked using this book. In fact, it has caused so much negative controversary that the school system has now switched to a new book-forcing me to use mine as fireplace wood.
