Not really worth it - By: Emily Matthews, 04 Feb 2007 
I bought this course some 10 years when I began learning Spanish, & since then it hasnt been updatedin any way. While the course itself is not bad, there are others available which are more modern & generally more interesting (I now teach languages & have seen a number of options for the "average" student beginning a foreign language course). The benefit of this one is that it focuses on communication rather than overloading you with grammar, but is somewhat basic & samey.
not one for everyone - By: , 06 Feb 2005 
I wouldn't recommend this course book to students wanting a thorough knowledge of the language. This book really just gives you the basics, it's more a book for people holidayingin Spain. The good thing is that there are many exercises to do, however they don't really explain the grammatical side of the language. As a language teacher, this is extremely annoying for me because grammar is the key to learning any language successfully.
a good book for the beginner - By: falcon5658, 10 Nov 2004 
This is the coursebook I am using for my college Spanish lessons & itis easy to follow, especially if accompanied by the CD'S. tv programmes run alongside the course throughout the year making this a comprehensive study course.
