3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, but not great, September 30, 2005

This review is from: Mosaicos: Spanish As a World Language : Student Activities Manual (Paperback)

I actually ordered the wrong edition of the manual, but that's not why I didn't give it a great rating. I'm using the Mosaicos textbooks for a basic Spanish class, and I don't like the way they're set up. They teach phrases before grammar and put all the vocabulary at the end of the chapters instead of the beginning. Coming out of years of Latin where we learned the fundamentals first, I've had a hard time adjusting. Frankly I don't think I'm learning as well on this new set up.

This review is from: Mosaicos: Spanish As a World Language (Hardcover)

Written conversations with lots of grammar not beginning with subjunctive.
Standard vocabulary, no need for dictionary over ten thousand words.
American English in directions, vocabulary meanings, and choice of 15 topics.
Teacher's guide is helpful for providing motivations and explaining why the author wrote a direction.
No CD enclosed or purchased, but who needs it really?

This review is from: Mosaicos: Spanish as a World Language (4th Edition) (Hardcover)

I used many Spanish text book but this book is very disorganized and hard to follow. Then again you might have a choice, because your teacher mandate that you buy this book. There is 5th edition out there so ask which one is required for your class. Don't forget you will aslo need 'Student Activities Manual' ISBN = 0-13-192326-9. Watch out there is very similar book called 'supplementary ....'. They are different.
