This effective and attractive worktext picks up where Spanish Now! Level 1 leaves off. An ideal worktext for classroom use in intermediate high school and college Spanish courses, Spanish Now! Level 2 emphasizes the development of students' conversational skills while also offering intensive instruction in reading, writing, and grammar.
Continuing from the first book of the series, very good, lots to learn about Spanish. Very impressed with it.
Some errors, but a good text/workbook combo

This Spanish Two book moves rather quickly, but if you liked Spanish Now Level 1, I think you'd like this one as well. It's more advanced than the basic High School Spanish 2 Public School Textbooks (at least in Texas), and expects that you're fairly well-versed in most Grammar points from Level 1, but allows for a little review here and there. I like the set up, but the vocabulary list per lesson is overwhelming at times for any high schooler. I would not suggest using this book with any student under the 10th grade level. Private tutors, as another reviewer said, will benefit greatly from it, and I have used it in my own small private classes, but I supplement with other materials, and go fairly slow, to ensure absorption. As a review for someone who wants to brush up on their Spanish 2 knowledge, I think it would be excellent. On your own, as a first time Spanish 2 student, you'd have to be VERY motivated, but the stories at the beginning of each lesson make it worth the money, I believe. For much younger students, try Flip Flop Spanish (of course, I'm a bit biased!) Sra. Gose Author of Flip Flop Spanish: Ages 3-5: Level 1 & Flip Flop Spanish: Ages 3-5: Level 2

FOR INTERMEDIATE SPANISH STUDENTS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I enjoyed SPANISH NOW! Level 2 mostly because of the complete and intense instruction on the various tenses, working its way from the Present Indicative to the Past Anterior. If you have a firm grasp on elementary Spanish, this might be the book for you. SPANISH NOW! Level 2 teaches Spanish optimally by itself, but I've found that this workbook functions even better with a vocabulary handbook, because SPANISH NOW! Level 2 tends to focus more on the grammar and ultimately the verbs. SPANISH NOW! Level 2 is ideal for the beginner or intermediate highschool or college Spanish student, or for those who want to be able to read and write in Spanish. Finally, this book is NOT for those who solely want to become conversational in Spanish, because it focuses on reading and writing ability along with sentence structure.
