Customer Reviews

Dimelo tu!

The book was very well priced and came promptly. It had a lot more markings than what was expressed. It made me wonder how well it was looked at before set to sell. However, it was still a great value. Thanks for the great service.

Book was exactly what I needed.

The item I ordered was exactly the item I needed. The price was much better than the used book price at the school book store.

finally, a book that takes the student seriously

I have read some negative reviews about this textbook, and I think they are unfair. The order in which the content is presented and the fact that Spanish is the main language used in this textbook are not reasons to give it a bad review. I have taught Spanish using this book for many years now, and the miracle happens every time: students acquire as much Spanish as they can during their first year of Spanish. Despite these 3 or 4 bad reviews, this book is a bestseller, used in the most prestigious colleges and universities.

A Very Good Book

I have finally finished this semester in college and I can honestly say that Spanish with ¡Dímelo Tú! has been wonderful. It is a very good book - definitely one that I will keep and not sell back to the book store. I love it!

Dimelo tu has abundance and variety of materials, inc. web

I just completed my first semester teaching from Dimelo tu and am pleased. The textbook and workbook include web sites and internet search words pertaining to the countries highlighted in each chapter. The nice, big accompanying workbook is divided into two halves, one with lots of written practice exercises, and the other entirely devoted to listening exercises (with accompanying cassettes or CD's). The instructor video is so-so. The testing workbooks have some good material. As for the textbook, there seem to be abundant activities and exercises. All of the main grammar is explained on green pages at the end of each chapter, following the vocabulary. Each chapter treats one country, with brief passages on that country, past and present, and a famous personage from there.
