Summary: Lacking, Lacking, Lacking
Review: I just completed my first semester of Spanish using this book. Had it not been for my professor, I would have unsuccessfully finished. This book is full of cryptic grammar rules. The examples given are mediocre at best. I do have to say that it gives a lot of vocabulary...a good thing. This is my second language to study, so I do have experience with foreign language texts. If Mr. McAlpine would revise this book, it might me OK. Chapter 4 really needs to be split into two or three chapters.
I would suggest getting a "helping" source if you must use this book.

Summary: Para Empezar Interacciones
Review: This text is among the very best I have used. I have taken 4 years of Spanish in California; 15 years ago. The authors have done an extensive job of using color and relief layout which makes studying the text much easier on the eyes. The Spanish used in this text is very up to date. I mostly enjoyed the down to earth conversations used for examples. This particular text builds your working vocabulary quickly, easily and enjoyably.I would recommend this to other Spanish teachers to use even at the grade school and high school levels. I really like and enjoy the book. Good-bye to boring texts! Muchas gracias for all the research and practicality.
