Remember that at the end of the book, there’s a ‘more grammar’ section where you can find more thorough explanations and verb conjugation charts. Pros & Cons The reading and cultural sections contain advanced words and structures. In fact, this section is not very useful in daily-life situations. It contains different activities to reinforce the student’s writing, speaking, listening and reading skills.

Aside from that, the rest of the exercises require that the learners think and produce some Spanish based on the knowledge they just acquired. When it comes to learning aids at the end of the book you can find verb charts and more in-depth grammar explanations. With the purpose of setting an immersive environment, Aula Internacional 2 is completely written in Spanish. But since you should already have some basic knowledge of Spanish and the instructions are written with simple words this shouldn’t be such a big problem for you.

Conclusion

Practice section (listening, conversation or writing exercises to practice your new grammar knowledge). When I worked as Spanish teacher, I had used and heard about a lot of different Spanish textbooks. For years, I used Aula Internacional 1 as my main textbook for Spanish beginners. So I wanted to provide you a review of this book that is meant to help absolute new Spanish learners.

Design & Learning “User” Experience

Many students find that the vocabulary provided is not always enough to keep a conversation. However, they forget that textbooks are meant to give you a basic foundation and it’s up to you to start adding more slang expressions. If you have the paper version and want to have access to some suggested videos, you’ll need to buy this material. The exercises cover all the skills you need to be fluent in Spanish: listening, writing, reading and speaking. Despite this, the book does a very good job with the vocabulary: everything you learn can be applied in all Spanish-speaking countries.
