Spanish for Gringos with Compact Discs

This textbook is required for Conversational Spanish I, II, II and IV. Quite a bargain for your buck, even if the book is required!

I placed my order on Friday and received it on Tuesday. It was an excellent purchase and I would recommend anyone interested in learning Spanish to purchase this product. It contains a tremendous amount of information but doesn't overwhelm you. The CD's that are included really enhances the workbook and allows you to hear how the words are pronounced. In addition, the CD's cover separate sections, so you only have to choose the CD that pertains to what you are looking for. I love the product!

This is a well written, very handy course. I've only had it for about a week, and I've already started having small talk (in Spanish) with waiters in local Mexican restaurants.

Thanks for a great product.

I love this book!!!! It shows you how easy learning spanish can be and makes it fun too. Its not like those stuffy text books that can intimidate you when you are trying to learn a new language. Very simple and very direct. Must have for someone starting to learn Spanish!!!

I am in the third week of an eight-week course, using these materials in an adult-ed course, of which I am instructor. I tend to agree with the comments of stb of NY. A large problem I have up to this point is assigning pages in the text to tracks on the CDs. There is only a haphazard and partial correlation between pages and tracks, and students wanting to practice what they have read about, or viceversa, must search through the book to find the material treated on a particular track, or must listen through random tracks on the three CDs in an attempt to find material they have read about. Titles of sections in the book don't help this process, either, since they often don't match track titles.
