 Great book but don't buy it without the teacher's manual. November 29, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book is pact with information and the teacher's manual with answers is a necessity, even if you have a tutor you still going to need it.
It is though very hard to finish the book, I am still struggling after almost a year of purchasing it!

Continuing from the first book of the series, very good, lots to learn about Spanish. Very impressed with it.
Some errors, but a good text/workbook combo August 12, 2005

This Spanish Two book moves rather quickly, but if you liked Spanish Now Level 1, I think you'd like this one as well. It's more advanced than the basic High School Spanish 2 Public School Textbooks (at least in Texas), and expects that you're fairly well-versed in most Grammar points from Level 1, but allows for a little review here and there.
I like the set up, but the vocabulary list per lesson is overwhelming at times for any high schooler. I would not suggest using this book with any student under the 10th grade level. Private tutors, as another reviewer said, will benefit greatly from it, and I have used it in my own small private classes, but I supplement with other materials, and go fairly slow, to ensure absorption. As a review for someone who wants to brush up on their Spanish 2 knowledge, I think it would be excellent. On your own, as a first time Spanish 2 student, you'd have to be VERY motivated, but the stories at the beginning of each lesson make it worth the money, I believe.
For much younger students, try Flip Flop Spanish (of course, I'm a bit biased!)

 Not for use without a teacher July 9, 2004

I have Kendris' book of verbs and it's a good straight forward resource. The Spanish Now! Series is very common at the large bookstores and I picked it up because unlike most bookstore titles it had a level two book for intermediate students. What I find difficult is that as a bookstore title it really is designed as a textbook for a class room situation; not really surprising given Barrons' business segment. Be that as it may, this makes the book nearly impossible to use for self-study. In every chapter there are examples and exercises where you're supposed to converse with a classmate or listen to what the instructor reads to you. Beyond that, the exercises are repetitive and uninteresting. For self-guided study look elsewhere.

I know several students that are using this book for private lessons ,and they found it extremely useful.They can use at home or in class, there is no tricks, the chart table for irregular verbs is great!Also the brief explanation of each issue in alphabetical order at the end of the book ,is an excellent source.The exercises in each Unit enhance the learning process. I strongly recommend this book( level 2) for intermediate students.Congratulations to the author!.Please, publish, Spanish Now! level 3!.
