Basic Spanish Language and Culture is a text that provides a step-by-step introduction to the elementary concepts of Spanish Grammar and builds on this knowledge to create a fun learning environment for Writing/Reading and Listening/Speaking. It combines detailed analysis and review of the different tenses of Spanish in a Comparative approach with the structures of English. And, for the first time in resources of this type, it includes a fun and agile description of the phonetics of Spanish and several engaging and dynamic pronunciation exercises to go with it.

Each Unit will help the student acquire a working mastery of the main tenses involved in the production of correct Spanish sentences in both academic and informal settings.
The content of the text invites to constant reinforcement of the knowledge acquired in the classroom, with ample opportunities to further develop the different elements that are dealt with during the synchronous and in-person sessions throughout the semester.
