Fantastic, interesting, well-structured book that takes you to a highly functional level of Spanish from scratch :-)

Gave up 'cause it had to go back to the library. This isn't the best language textbook I've read. It's far too formulaic and tells you exactly what everything means. The best ones, for me, have very little English and leave you to work out what everything means for yourself meaning I remember it better because I've built those little connections in my brain. Not that I'm saying that way of learning is for everyone but it is for me and this book didn't have it.

Having a book and CDs and you have to go back and forth... was frustrating. I wish they were a little more exclusive, so you could read through the whole book, or listen to all the audio, or whatever. It seemed the CDs were just a supplement, and I would have rather them be the focus.
