thoroughly excellent
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is as good a book of its type as one could hope to find. Each chapter has a literary excerpt of some interest with sensible notes and useful questions designed for class room use. There is always plenty of useful vocabulary and then a fairly thorough look at two or through areas of usage of a grammatical nature with ensuing thoughtfully constructed writing exercises. The book is very sound from a pedagogic point of view -based evidently on years of teaching experience. I have looked at many books but this one, for example, satisfactorily explains the difference in usage between ser and estar much better than any other. It's a treasure trove for the advanced learner of Spanish.
The best language book I've ever read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I used this text in Mexico for the highest levels taught at the Centro Mexicano Internacional in Morelia, Michoacán. I speak French (five years) and a little German, have taken high school Latin and college-level Greek. I have had LOTS of delightful experiences with languages, including trying to speak Japanese in Japan!This book is, in my opinion, the best, most comprehensive and best-organized language text I've ever used.It's not for dabblers, however. To this serious student, it was like a long, long drink of cool water to a thirsty man: constantly delicious and satisfying. I can't recommend it highly enough. Según mi maestra favorita, ¡una Mexicana! fue el mejor también, nuestro "libro favorito."
A wonderful book to follow grammar classes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This excellent textbook brought Spanish "home" for me -- it seemed to link together all the Spanish I'd learned in the past. I highly recommend it!
I liked it but a lot of people I know didn't.

I found the book very helpful. It contains many sayings and 'modismos', how to write a letter in Spanish, and a lot of vocabulary. But my professor wasn't very impressed with it at all, and most of my friends weren't either. I thought the only negative points were a few mistakes in the text and the ridiculous price.
A decent book
