Spanish, Communication and Cultura

Sets up student well to learn spanish. Has pictures of celebrities such as Shakira inside, and is a great reference when used in combination with the online program. Expensive, but what books aren't?
Unsatisfactory experience with Amazon
Customer Rating:
Very very disappointed and even angry! Because from day one, this seller did not respond to my e-mails, three in all. Also because I did not get the book I ordered and that put me in fix. I was in my Spanish-104 class without the book for few days and finally had to buy the book from College Book Store at higher price.
I paid for the order on the day I placed the order and as of today it is still not refunded. Very lousy experience with Amazon on my first order try! Do you think I will come again to Amazon for my future needs? I doubt.
Finally I wonder how Amazon purposes to compensate for loss of my time and frustration it caused by having such sellers on the list.

I was a little worried about the version. BUt when I went to the University bookstore, it was the one on the shelf and it saved me big bucks
Nice text, good supplements
Customer Rating:
Bought this book for my husband, who is taking an introductory spanish course at the university. He has never studied another language and was worried, until he saw the text. It is easy to follow and illustrates the points well. However, the best part is the supplemental web site, which has practice quizzes, flash cards, pronunciations and conversations to listen to. A bit pricey if you buy it new.
