Customer Reviews

THIS is how to build a textbook!

Con Mucho Gusto is a logical, well-sequenced, detailed, and user-friendly textbook with superb support materials. I began learning Spanish with this text in university in 1985 and am now teaching with it in my university night classes. This work puts to shame the modern "whole language" muddled mess that has been infiltrating pedagogy in the United States. Con Mucho Gusto provides a fine framework for learning and practice, allows the student to work outside of class with greater facility, and can be supplemented with as much realia and authentic practice as desired. I give this work my very highest recommendation as both student and teacher!

A very good beginning

We have used this book as a Spanish tutorial. It covers the material that one needs to get a good foundation in the language. We found the exercises a bit repetitious in some cases. More variation may be better but they do drill on the material presented. This book has a far better sequence of presentation than many Spanish texts.
