As the best-selling introductory Spanish textbook in the United States, Puntos de partida has long been a favorite of instructors across the country. For this new edition, the authors and editors of Puntos have turned to those very instructors to help formulate a plan that would respond to the needs of a changing discipline. We reached out to more than 275 students and instructors across the country, and the result is a thoroughly revised edition that we are confident will address new needs and preferences while continuing to provide the solid foundation in communicative language development that is the hallmark of Puntos de partida .
This Spanish book was my companion for two semesters of college Spanish. I like the approach this textbook uses and the color illustrations are also a handy tool. There were many exercises and charts to help the student along and I thought they had the words and phrases you had to learn in a logical order. I would recommend.
