Visión y voz: A Complete Spanish Course

Rating:
Summary: Poor layout and confusing pedagogy
Review: I am currently using this text and am not thrilled with it. It has a poor layout, the reference material is strewn throughout and not very complete, and its presentation of the introductory material is neither particularly logical nor comprehensive. Its international use is only somewhat limited by its focus on Latin American Spanish and its US viewpoint. I hope there are other introductory spanish texts available that are better value for money.

Summary: Excellent introductory book
Review: Well organized and worded. All concepts are presented clearly with many activities to ensure comprehension. I have read many intro Spanish books and this is by far the best.
