Easy Spanish Reader

Rating:
Summary: It's ok--as long as you don't have to do the excercises
Review: This book takes you through a natural progression of learning. While reading other Spanish language books. You will have to spend time with reference books, going back and forth, etc. The Easy Reader helps you along with new words in each chapter, lets you keep your mind on the story and, in doing so, holds your interest. This is a "must have" if you are attempting to learn Spanish.

Summary: Excellent for beginners to intermediate
Review: This is a great book for older teens as it starts with stories of college level students attending the University of Mexico. Later it evolves into some of the history of So. America. I just ordered a copy for my HS granddaughter in Oregon who is struggling with Spanish lessons.
I'm keeping my own copy of Easy Spanish Reader since I find it a very quick and enjoyable way to improve my understanding of Spanish. Also, will use the book as a reference while having conversations with my grandaughter. Should be fun and motivating for both of us.
