This little text we have found to be a perfect way for individuals just beginning to work with Spanish to get started. The thing I like about it is that it focuses the learners' effort on those things that are most important without wasting a lot of time and effort on things that will not pay off. As a beginning text aimed at health professionals it accomplishes another very important thing--it covers the basics without talking down to the learner. It works particularly well as a text to support an intensive week of work in Spanish, which is what we used it for.

The negatives for using it are few. It has to be considered an introduction--if you're looking for thorough coverage of grammar and vocabulary, this will disappoint you. I was not that excited by the audio CD that accompanied it, but that was of minimal importance for our application.

Overall, I would give this a strong recommendation for what it is designed to do.
