Captado! is a two-part course taking the beginner through to GCSE Spanish; it is particularly suitable for those taking Spanish GCSE over a period of three years or less. It provides a systematic, organized approach to assist rapid progress. Book 1 covers the basic ground and should be an ideal text for the first stage of a GCSE course. Book 2 revisits key language structures, broadens the topic coverage and focuses closely on the skills and knowledge required for a good grade in the full Spanish GCSE. The second edition of Captado! has been updated to take account of the euro, and all the assessment material has been revised in line with the new style of testing in GCSE papers.
