Suenos World Spanish: Intermediate Course Book pt. 2 (Sueños)

A very good package. Not cheap but worth the money and certainly less expensive than some packages (book and tapes/CDs)

This is a good colourful BBC course but the downside is whilst it is for intermediate it seems to start and advance very quickly and if you haven't grasped the basics, it's easy to get lost. Great for dedicated adult learners but not for the unmotivated as it relys on you putting a lot of effort into it. I recommend you also look for other resources whilst studying this to supplement the progress.

I am a mature student studying for the Scottish Higher exam. I have found it difficult to find material that stretches my abilities, the majority of courses always start at the beginning again. This is a very good continuation course, I didn't work through the first book so I am not sure how good a starter course it is but certainly the second is very good for someone with an understanding of the basics that wants to improve listening and comprehension skills. The CDs that accompany and exercises in the book are also quite interesting in their own right, unusual for foreign language courses! The book on its own is quite good but to get the most out of it you need the CDs. It doesn't work too well as a reference book, you do need to go through the activities.
