Product Description

Hundreds of thousands of people have already learned Spanish with the popular beginners’ course, España Viva. It aims not only to teach Spanish but also something about the people who speak it. Ideal for those who know little or no Spanish, España Viva is carefully structured to suit learners without much time to study. Focusing on listening, reading, writing and speaking, the points covered in each unit are limited to what could realistically be understood and learned in an evening. By the end of the course you should be able to handle a great variety of everyday situations reaching the equivalent level of a first qualification, such as GCSE.

5.0 out of 5 stars a good book for the beginner, 10 Nov 2004

By	falcon5658 (Fareham, UK) - See all my reviews

This is the coursebook I am using for my college Spanish lessons and itis easy to follow, especially if accompanied by the CD'S. tv programmes run alongside the course throughout the year making this a comprehensive study course.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really worth it, 4 Feb 2007

By	Emily Reader (Bristol) - See all my reviews

I bought this course some 10 years when I began learning Spanish, and since then it hasnt been updated in any way. While the course itself is not bad, there are others available which are more modern and generally more interesting (I now teach languages and have seen a number of options for the "average" student beginning a foreign language course). The benefit of this one is that it focuses on communication rather than overloading you with grammar, but is somewhat basic and samey.
