Description
This book, along with the online portion and answer key, is essential to this course. Before you jump into lesson 1, this course has a section called the 10 Steps. The purpose is for the student to get comfortable with the look and sounds of this new language. If you have had some previous exposure, it may take you 1-2 weeks. If you are new to the language, the 10 Steps can take as long as you need to get comfortable. You are not writing anything at this time, so relax and soak it in. When you do begin lesson 1, you will notice that the expectation is for you to really dig into the language. Still, Level 1 is for a beginner. Take your time, use the video lessons as a model, and you will find yourself progressing as things click. Don’t be scared of the vocabulary and grammar presented off the bat, this is a normal, high school level course. Handy verb charts in the back are a quick reference, and dictionary pages that are both Spanish to English and English to Spanish will get lots of use. ~Sara
