Average Customer Rating: 3.0 out of 5

1) GET IT!!!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
IF YOU WANT A GOOD BOOK TO LEARN SPANISH, GET THIS ONE!!! I LOVE IT!

2) enhancements are available   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
the book is okay, i would suggest using the companion premium website and purchasing the program cds - set of 15. the latter is available through the publisher's website.

3) Ok, but not great   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
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.

4) Mosaicos Spanish   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
Worst book I have ever used to learn a language. Who ever wrote the book was into a lot more than teaching. You need to use this disc or that disc or use the internet. The Prenhall is not very user friendly either. The book is very confusing.

5) Lovely   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is everything I could have hoped for in a foreign language textbook; it is an instructor's dream. Now...if they only designed a text of equal quality for Portuguese!
