Product Description

Product Description
"Ponte al Dia" is an exciting new, one-volume course designed for AS and A2 Level students of all abilities. Written by an experienced author team, it fully addresses the new specifications and topics and is suitable for all three examination boards. The increased emphasis on grammar is met with a thorough progression from the transition period after GCSE to A2. Passages of text are specifically chosen for their grammatical content with reinforcement and extension material available. Students will also be given an excellent insight into Hispanic culture with coverage of a different region or Spanish-speaking country in each unit.

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of money without the CDs, 1 May 2006
This textbook is actually a waste of money without the CDs, which is very annoying, and it makes no sense to market it like this. In my opinion, there are much better Spanish learning resources on the market (CDs included) for around the same price. The content is interesting but not very well organised.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good study aid but should be available with CD, 10 Mar 2006
I am in my third year of studying Spanish at evening class and am using this book to prepare for an AS level in May. It is a good study aid, so much better than the very basic GCSE texts which were aimed at school children studying for GCSE and were really boring for adults. Ponte al Dia is quite challenging, some of the chapters are more interesting than others but it is topical and informative.

There are several ways in which it could be better though: there are a lot of idiomatic expressions which despite having an extremely large Spanish/English dictionary I can't always translate. There is no vocabulary index, and no answers to the exercises. The major disantavantage as far as I'm concerned (and I know that my colleagues in the class feel the same) is that it does not come with a CD, even though there is a CD and a lot of the exercises require it. I can't even find the CD for sale. The teacher hasn't got it either as it apparently costs upwards of £60 and he would have to buy it himself. This is extremely annoying as it effectively means we can't do half the exercises, and our teacher has to provide other material, which he does to the best of his ability but it's not the same.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, 7 Aug 2008
By C. Brown - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have just received this but if you want to know the answers to the questions, or listen to the clips needed for the listening exercises, you have to buy an £80 teachers edition.
