Where's the CD?

I bought this so as to be able to assist my son with Spanish. The book is supposed to be accompanied with a cd, but it was not included. Good luck trying to convey this discrepancy to Amazon, however.

Tries to "dumb down" the information

I used this book through an independent study high school program, and I do not recommend it for anyone who wants to learn Spanish on their own.
I think the reason the teacher chose this book to teach us with is because you get to listen to all the nifty audio cd's that go along with it. It is nice to hear native speakers talk; it gives you a feel for how the language is really used.
This is the only thing the book is successful at, however.
I did not like the way the book presented information at all. It was too unclear; the real "lessons" where hidden away in sidebars and end-of-the-chapter notes that you might skip over, not knowing that the real information was presented there.
I also did not like how the book gave you the English approximation instead of the literal translation. Ideally, the book would give you both, but if I have to choose between one and the other, I'd take the literal translation, and then decide on the English approximation for myself. The book would be much better if it only gave you the Spanish lesson up front instead of being "cute" and hiding it in clever activities. If you have a really good Spanish teacher, you might learn something from this book. I'm only grateful that I audited a real Spanish course before taking this one.

I have used many textbooks before, but this one is definitely one of the best. WHen combined with the accompanying laser disc series, CD-ROm and listening series, it is out of this world. I highly recommend it to the serious Spanish student!
