3.0 out of 5 stars Spanish for Gringos: Level Two
Level Two is a real disappointment after using Level One. The engaging voice of the original teacher is gone and is replaced by two lesser voices. One of the voices is difficult to understand, which defeats the purpose of an audio lesson. In addition, the dreaded language lab tone is added in replace of the simple pause. Finally, the festive Latin music is gone...

Level Two is a real disappointment after using Level One. The engaging voice of the original teacher is gone and is replaced by two lesser voices. One of the voices is difficult to understand, which defeats the purpose of an audio lesson. In addition, the dreaded language lab tone is added in replace of the simple pause. Finally, the festive Latin music is gone. Overall, a disappointment and not as well done as Level One.

4.0 out of 5 stars Anna Rivera's Review of Spanish for Gringos Level 2, December 20, 2009
This review is from: Spanish For Gringos Level Two Book/Cassette Package (Paperback)
This is Anna Rivera, editor of the Learning Spanish Products Reviews site and author of Anna Rivera's 1000 Plus Most Powerful Spanish Words (Spanish Edition) and Anna Rivera's 800 Plus Most Powerful Spanish Phrases (Spanish Edition).

Spanish for Gringos Level Two is a slightly more advanced version of Spanish for Gringos. Both books are published by Barron's Educational Series and focused on teaching Spanish to beginners.

You will find that Spanish for Gringos Level Two provides a fun and informal approach to the material. Chapters are arranged by theme, and you are guided though the material by a character named "Gringo."

This book hits much harder on verb usage than the Level One book, but the material is basic enough not to overwhelm beginners.

You can use this book by itself or as a supplemental material with self-study Spanish course. Either way, it is a good sequel and one I would recommend. I think that anyone who buys this book and uses it regularly should see improvement in her Spanish language skills.
