Pasos is the course for anyone wishing to learn Spanish. Whether learning for work or pleasure, Pasos gives a thorough grounding in the language enabling learners to speak, read, write and understand a language.
Pasos 1, the first part of the course, introduces the key structures of the language over 14 thematic lessons with the emphasis placed firmly on communication. Authentic reading and listening materials are used extensively for a wide range of lively activities based on everyday situations in Spain and Latin America. Clear examples and explanations make the grammar easy to absorb, and emphasis is placed on the acquisition of a wide range of essential vocabulary from an early stage. This edition takes account of developments in modern life, such as new technology and practical communication. Audio track references on a page-by-page basis ensure that listening activities are easly identified and new online resources are a useful addition to this highly successful course.
