Destinos: Alternate Edition (Student Edition)

Summary: Professor's Point of View
Review: After having taught the Destinos series for the past several years, I can honestly say that it is one of the best, if not the best, programs available to learn Spanish. However, it does require absolute time commitment on the part of the student. The materials are well integrated and provide an excellent tool for learning language and culture. I definitely recommend it.

Summary: Encourages Speaking and Promotes culture
Review: Last May (1999) I finished my fifth year of Spanish. For two and a half years my class used Destinos. After the AP exam, of the 7 Students who took this years exam, 4 non-native "4's" and one non-native "5". I myself and a much stonger speaker now that I am in college. Destinos promoted speaking from day one and it gave real results. I am exceling in my cuture classes and also with different Spanishes (mex, castilano, argentinian) Destinos gives a well rounded look on the Hispanic Culture. I enjoyed following the charaters through their journeys (video series). I highly recommend this text/video series too all.
