Editorial Reviews

Product Description
As its title suggests, Motivos de conversacion both motivates students to use Spanish and gives them the tools they need to use it. The popularity of this communicative text comes from its realistic size and flexible organization that works no matter how many (or few) class meetings a week. In 15 simply structured lessons, Motivos de conversacion provides students with core vocabulary and the essential grammar structures necessary for the first year, along with focused practice to build confidence and communicative activities to develop skills. The cultural themes carefully developed in each chapter provide a rich and interesting context for the new language students are learning.

A number of improvements make Motivos de conversacion, Fourth Edition, even easier to use and more interesting to read. Motivos has been shortened from 18 to 15 lessons in this edition, with a corresponding reorganization of the grammar syllabus. Two new chapter themes emphasize the cultural heritage of Hispanics in the western hemisphere, and a new cultural feature called Viaje por el mundo hispanico has been added. A variety of new dialogues, readings, realia, and cultural notes have also been added to the Fourth Edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Motivos De Conversacion: Essentials of Spanish, August 9, 2000
By Jeff Rogers "heffaye" (Buena Park, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I used this book in a 1st year college course and found it to be very thorough in it's content, It did not assume I already new the basics but explained every section thoroughly. I recomend it.
