Essential for Courses using Destinos

Destinos is the best thing to happen to foreign language learning since the invention of the language laboratory.The handbook will greatly improve a student's ability to retain and utilize the Spanish he/she learns in the video series. There are many exercises relating to each episode and the Mas Alla del episodio readings add extra information to the story which is not in the videos themselves.I teach Spanish at community college and have used the manual and videos for a number of years with excellent results.
