Customer Reviews

Great Book

Great book for someone improving their Spanish skills. The book was also at a really good price. I really enjoy all the short stories.

Abriendo Paso: Gramatica

Thank you for your speed! We received the book (in good condition)soon after placing the order.

Lots of good practice

This book is actually for the AP Spanish Literature course, I believe, but we're using it in my AP Spanish Language class. The stories are, for the most part, interesting. I especially like the «realismo mágico» by Cortázar. My only complaint is that there are too many little activities that come with with each story and I don't think they're very helpful. Doing a few might be a useful review and provides a chance to practice writing and/or speaking Spanish, but we do a TON of 'ejercisios' for each story and it's very time consuming and boring.

Bien preparado

Great book for high school students preparing for the AP Exam. Very comprehensive, distinguishing between various modes of communication in Spanish, and covering all topics necessary for achieving relative fluency in writing and talking. Also covers all features of the necessary M.I.L.F. and utilizes two squirrels to effectively teach the Spanish Language in an intriguing and interesting manner. Y mas y mas y mas!
